The Complete Works of jeffstaple.
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...

Jeffstaple History Lesson 101
Once upon a time, there was Jesus. See, he was a Jew. Then he came New York, where all the Jews moved too. They liked the LES for all the Mazoh factories and the sour Pickles. So, they set up shop on the hippest block in the World; Rivington between Orchard and Ludlow. They wanted to be close to Ino'teca and Reed Space. The Jews are smart people who really know how to shop for the coolest stuff you see. So when you incorrectly descirbe our unforuante loss of the hippest synagogue as a church we got sad. Haven't we been through enough? Therefore us Jews have to move to Murray Hill or the UES now. Sad day for Judiasm.
Jeff its not a church its a Jewish synagogue. the Rivington Street Temple has beeen around for 150 years. Known as the "Carnegie Hall for Cantors".
