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...

OLYMPIC FEVER.


Don't ask me why...but for some inexplicable reason, I have major Winter Olympic Fever. Despite reports of horrific ratings, I am possessed by the Winter Games...staying up to 4am to watch the days events. Hell, some events even brought a tear to my eye. Even figure skating, which is the one sport I NEVER watched...has me totally glued to the screen. Did anyone else catch Team China? This little girl took a bad fall, got up, finished her routine with her partner and won silver. It was heroic. Only to be topped by the Russian pair that took gold after a horrific accident a few years back. Sports is sports man...you can't script something better. and then of course Shani Davis...the first African American to win a gold at the Olympics. And he took it like he had a mad chip on his shoulder. Did you see his post win interview? That boy was on a mission and he accompished it.


Ouch! Check out the expressions on those people's faces. That shows how hard this impact was.



Peep the bandage on homegirl's knee. That's a warrior.



First black man to win a gold in Winter Olympic history: Shani Davis. And he did it mad as hell...
