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...

16 HRS LATER.


And here I am again. Tokyo. The flight from JFK to Narita has become a usual commute for many people including myself. It's like taking the train to work and running into people you know. Two times before I saw Big Jay (Green Lantern's manager), last time I was on the flight with Damany, and this time it was Mike Malbon from Frank 151. The flight was horrific. You know when there's turbulence, and then there's the type of turbulence when people scream? We had the latter. One of the scariest flights I've ever been on. I'm in my hotel room and I feel like I've been on a boat all day...you know that weird swaying feeling you get? After settling in and attempting to compose myself in some way, I headed out to a scheduled dinner meeting with Celux/LVMH, Asako and my partner Riko. Korean BBQ...Why do the Japanese have to do everything better? Italian is better, Chinese is beter, Korean is better, McDonald's is better. I think honestly, the only thing they have not yet perfected is the breakfast egg. For some reason, they can't do that right. Anyway, I'm wrecked...Sayonara till next time.

With the people and things you see in Japan, you sometimes forget and think you're hangin' in NYC.



Chowing down Korean stylee.

Hey Jeff, I don't care how much turbulence you had. ;) You get to be in Tokyo while I'm stuck here at work. I would almost give anything to be there right now. I envy you. Peace!

Ditto to that comment Jeff. And considering I won't be able to get there until December I'm sure you'll be enjoying all of those Japanese treats of efficiency more before then as well. Enjoy yourself man. Good that you've posted another pic of Riko tho, keep em coming.
