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...

RESPECT TO X.

Respect and mourning goes out to Xzibit and his loss.
Xzibitにお悔やみ申し上げます。また、お亡くなりになった息子さんに心よりご冥福申し上げます。

His words are inspiring for everyone:
"Well, this week was extremely difficult for him, because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own," he said. "Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30 am and I must tell you this, it is unnatural for a parent to bury a child...I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when I'm having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them...don't take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and I'm not one to question God's perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son...STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. It's not promised to any of us."
R.I.P Xavier May 15th 2008- May 26th 2008
Life is just too short.
彼の言葉はみんなの心に届くと思います:
「今週は自力で酸素を取り入れられないほど肺が弱くなってしまった彼にとって非常に苦しかったと思う。Xavierは今朝3:30に息を引き取りましたがこれだけは言いたい、自分の子供に先立たれるのは自然なことではない。。。僕は最高の時も同じように言うが、自分や他人をごまかすには人生はあまりにも短すぎる。もし子供がいるのなら、大事に守って、毎日朝起きたら愛情を降り注いでください。。。抱いたり、教えたり、思いやることを当然にできる事だと思わないで下さい。この世の中で何でも買える富を持っていても、家族というものは何よりもかけがえのないもの。僕は神のご加護に感謝し、神様の計画を疑うことは出来ないので、以前のブログで息子宛にたくさんの祝福を頂いたことに深い愛を感じ、感謝しています。。。みなさん、目標に向かって努力しよう。命は永遠に約束されているものではないから。」
永眠 Xavier 2008年5月15日−2008年5月26日
人生は本当に短すぎる。

I hadn’t hit up your blog in a minute and I had a few moments this morning- I see you’re on the inspiration tip these days. Well, I actually wanted to thank you, the blind skater and the very well done graphic arts piece; and sadly the news about Xzibit all made me take pause and think this morning.

It is not often that you read a blog and actually take a moment to reflect. I wanted to thank you, you don’t really know, but it meant a lot to me right now in my life. Thanks for giving me the blogospheric kick in the proverbial ass that I needed.

As a father of a 1 1/2 year old you have my sincerest condolences. I appreciate you taking the time in such a severe moment to relay your thoughts to let others know to take the time. You and your family are in my family's prayers brother.
