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...

AC & BACK.


Every so often, the Jerz in me comes out and I get a hankerin' for some Atlantic City sleaziness. So for the weekend, me and the GFV rented a Mini Cooper (thru Zipcar, great service!) and headed down to the Taj. Little did we know the Blizzard of 2006 was headed right towards us. And of course with my luck, I rent a car with the smallest wheels legally acceptable. We decide to cut the trip short and head back. But not because of the weather. Because REED SPACE was broken into that night! Jerry came to work on Sat to discovery the crime scene. It was horrible. They smashed right thru the door. But notice in the photos...the front gate is down and LOCKED. Obviously, the handiwork of some midget ninjas. If that weren't fucked up enough, our alarm service, ADT, failed to go off and notify the police...a service we pay hundreds of dollars a month for! WTF?! WTF?! Again...WHAT. THE. FUCK!? To add to the oddity, the slimy crooks only took our iBook and iSight camera. They left the cash, artwork and clothes. They left the Pigeon Dunks! Idiots! BTW, our white 12" iBook has "STPL" engraved in small letters on the bottom. I will pay a very handsome reward if someone can recover the laptop intact and fully operational. I will pay even more for the head of whoever is responsible. Not even cuz you broke into my store...but because you made me cut my poker game short in AC. I was on a roll, (winning over $600 in 2 hrs) bastards!
Anyway, they say there's a silver lining in every cloud...and the snow storm proved to be just that. Of course we had to close Reed due to the theft, but we would have definitely closed regardless due to the storm. So we were able to reopen on Monday without a hiccup.

Sorry to hear that. That's just grimey!
It could have been worse. Thank goodness it wasn't!

It's safe to say that these thieves did not graduate at the top of the class!

What the HELL?!?!?! that's mess up. I feel sorry. The REED SPACE is the place to be, not to jack some loot. Hope you find whoever did this.

i'm really sorry to hear about your spot getting broken into. however, this is also one of the reasons why i'm mildly addicted (chocolate-type addicted, not heroin-type addicted...yet) to this blog--never, ever a dull moment!

anyone who would leave all the gear and kicks has gotta be out of his/her head. but, i do hope your laptop is recovered.

one.
