I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

HELLO AGAIN TOKYO.


Not so fast. I'm still here. Remember that blizzard I mentioned? It kept me grounded in Tokyo for another day. Really pissed me off too. All the monitors in the main terminal of Narita read "ON TIME". This is where all the good restaurants and shops are. So one would assume it's cool to proceed thru immigration, security, customs and that bullshit. But of course, once you get to the gate area, it's a freakin madhouse. People were sleeping and sprawled out everywhere. It looked like Woodstock in an airport. Planes were 5-7 hrs delayed! So I decided to chill in the AA Platinum Lounge. Same shit! Packed! It wasn't looking good. They weren't saying when we would take off. They were saying "hopefully an hour". But then other people would say flights that weren't cancelled were delayed an average of 5 hrs. 3 at best. The snow wasn't letting up so I made the decision to try and head back into Tokyo for an additional day. Luckily, this woman at AA was on top of the ball and worked some magic to make everything go smooth from there. On the ride back to Tokyo, I couldn't help but wonder if I made the right decision. What if my plane is taking off as I'm heading back to town? When I got back to the house, I checked aa.com and learned I made the right decision. The flight WAS eventually cancelled and all the fools who waited hours for the flight are now rewarded with a sleep over on Narita's cold floor. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
