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...

TIRED: US DOLLARS

WIRED: EUROS.

Gisele, the highest paid model in the world is apparently demanding to be compensated in Euros only. Maybe that was a clue to her insight about the US Economy.
Jay-Z followed this up with his recent video for Blue Magic, flashing 500 Euros instead dusty old Benjamins.
THEN, The WJS, follows THEM up with this interesting article:
"It's sad that rap stars can no longer show their style with a good old $500 U.S. bills (featuring President McKinley) and now need to flash $500 Euros (featuring some sort of suspension bridge).
I don't need the chairman of the Federal Reserve to tell me about the state of our economy. I just need Jay-Z, the new Alan Greenspan.
I don't blame Jay-Z. A stack of $50,000 in Euros would equal $72,000 in U.S. currency. And you'd need 144 $500 bills to equal a stack of 100 $500 Euros. I don't know if even Jay-Z has that large a money clip.
When I start seeing rap stars throw around the Canadian Loonie, then I know our economy is really in trouble."

Some have even gone so far as to BLAME Hova and Gisele for the recent stock market crash?!
To quote D.C., "WHERE IS JA?! I NEED SOME ANSWERS JA RULE!!!"



I, on the other hand, still demand to be paid in the only currency that matters:
Red M&Ms!!! Just a big bowl of red M&Ms...no other color. Just Red.

That's funny. I will assume Red M&Ms is code for LARGE BAG OF CRACK COCAINE.

If you want to one-up them all you should wave around some good old fashioned British Pounds Sterling - We got nearly two $ to the £ right now!
