April 2009

Well it's been awhile since i've written anything on my blog. lots has happened since my last post in 2008. the last 4-5 months of '08 were a bitch. stressing about economy/housing market. told myself i had a choice, throw in the towel or step my game up. i chose the latter. january til now(april 26th) has been pretty decent for me. keeping a positive attitude!!!

Haven't really bought alot of kicks lately. Picked up the Jordan 1/Hares for Tyler...waiting on my pair. bought some pretty cool japanese pants made by man of moods. dude use to be a top designer at comme de garcon(sp). like the fit and feel of these pants. the cut is so much better than the balloon pants i had from nordys. still breaking in my 2 pairs of selvage denim...apc's and pure blue japans(these are freaking awesome jeans). the gs is fine...brakes only squeak at start up. wish i had some flow for the 20's and drop....priorities!!!!

working 2 neighborhoods...still at west highlands park(camwest/bennett) and copper lantern in bothell(le-hi).

family is doing well...wish the wifeys arm didn't bother her so much!!! Brie had a great time in london over her spring break...boy did i miss her. tyman is playing baseball, and doing track for the first time...doing well in the 4x100 relay, high jump, and the 100 yd. dash...oh yey forgot the 400 yd. dash also. cort is a busy little body with school, her cellphone..lol and holding her own in the household. carson and boo are doing great too.

and finally props to my boy sherman....for getting me to update my blog.

later, b

December is the season

....to buy a new home. Things have been challenging, far from throwing in the towel and giving up. This is what I know, and have absolutely no desire to change careers at this point of my life. Moms passing on November 15th(couple of years ago). I think of her all of ther time. She was/is the icon/rock of our family. Her strength, loyalty, and love were second to none. I hope she's okay with my man upstairs.

Jordan update since the last one. Yes, both myself and Tyler picked up the Motorsports(Wizards) on Black Friday. They're hot and fit great. Plus I have the Bred 1's coming from my boy Rod at UNDFTD/Vegas. He has hooked me up with some cool pieces offered at UNDFTD. I'm shifting from so much Hundreds gear to UNDFTD, Estevan Oriol/Upper Playground, and some limited Stussy collab tees(Nas is coming!!!!) Must say the Hundreds denim is hot....I really like the fit and finish. Got a pair of selvage(love these) and regular 13 oz. denim.

Joined Facebook...novelty is wearing off slowly. Cool joint to see peeps I grew up with though.

My GS is pissing me off with those squealing brakes. Getting a free navi. upgrade for the hassles. Really would love some 20's on her....other priorities come first(fam) obviously with our economy!!!

Gotta go and get busy with that real estate mojo:-)

That's all for now....

Change!!!

I've....believe it or not just voted for the first time in my life. Never really cared about our direction. Just always went along with the "flow". The past couple of years have made me question what our country is doing and where it's going. So I figured if I was slightly outspoken on certain subjects I should vote. Why do the CEO's of all of these failed mortgage/financial corporations get ridiculous severance packages. It's astounding the amounts some of these people are getting while all of the hard working employees seem to get nothing!!!

As I've said before, I feel part of 2009 is going to be challenging. Already have cutback on my kicks. Bringing lunch instead of buying. No more online clothes for now:-(

Gotta stay positive....it's easier said than done!!!

All for now.

Tough Economy

It's been more than challenging in this real estate market. Many of which are going through some tough times (including myself). Time to take a serious look at the current direction I'm going. Haven't really felt times like these. I guess the "man upsatirs" is testing me to see what I'm made of...great timing right before the holiday season. Going to have to be slightly frugal this holiday season. Need to take care of the 3 kids first and foremost!!! Their needs are more important than mine.

All I can share is that we need to hang tough. Persistance and hard work will hopefully payoff. Nobody has a glass ball and can't read what the future brings...so just worry about things that you can control. Don't let the things that you can't control get you down.

I'm going to try my hardest to follow my own words.

Stay Positive!!!!

Jordans...Jordans....Jordans

If you can't tell by the topic don't read on. I've been collecting J's with my son for awhile now. Its' a cool hobby to have with my son. We both dig nice kicks, especially j's. As of lately we've picked up the bred 6 rings, oly 1's, 18/5, 20/3 CDP's, Penny H's(for my son), XIII's from the CDP....damn near broke. (remember this is x2 on the p/u's)

On the horizon...the Laser 1's, Motorsport XXIII's, obviously the XI/XII CDP which will be the hottest yet next to the Carmine CDP.

Should be okay for a hot second after those pick ups.

Go see SneekGeekz...dude has killer vids on J's.

Later....B

start me up!!!

just started out.
