Retirement Is The New Career Choice…
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
It couldn’t last forever could it? I mean, the internets was going to have to die at some point, otherwise we wouldn’t grow. We’d just continue in the status quo. Last week Byron Crawford announced what is essentially the end of his website. He’s decided to leave blogging at ByronCrawford.com to people who couldn’t carry weed for Ron Mexico. I don’t mean the real Ron Mexico, I mean Michael Vick.
Except for Jimmy Valentine. That guy’s good. [ll].
Bol’s retirement from his own website kind of reminds me of Michael Jordan’s retirement after the Bulls beat Phoenix in the Finals. And then his dad got merc’ked. And then we found out that Jordan had a serious gambling problem. I’m not wishing any of these things on my internets buddy Bol, but I wonder why he would step away from the game he has mastered instead of just waiting until someone finds him dead on the toilet?
If that was good enough for the king of rock it should be just fine for the king of the internets.
But the real question is what will the rest of us do? This blog shit is awesome fun, but the pay is shittier than a truckstop watercloset. I’ve vacillated on quitting my blog several thousand times. The point is that I can’t maintain the pace that I would like and within that pace I can’t produce the editorial quality that I think y’all deserve. I would’a been done kill’d myself already except I have a horribly low tolerance to pain. But this blog is gonna have to die someday soon.
What’s left for the writers and the dreamers?
TWitter.
Antheminem…
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
Complex mag’s deputy editor BFred asked a few bloggers what their take was on Eminem’s latest leaked album single – ‘Not Afraid’…
Anthem music x Eminem = Antheminem.
Eminem is the emo rap king, hands down. This song is the ‘Lose Yourself’ 2010 version. Get a ticket to Giants Stadium and get your lighters out. This song will be marching music for every loser this summer. It ain’t my bag, but this shit is gonna be big. Huge. Colossal.

ALL DAY I DREAM ABOUT SNEAKERS…
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010
Editor’s note: DirtyJerz stops by DP.com quite often and today he blesses us with a pair of kicks to give away during the NCAA pool AND an epic drop about their acquisition…
Word Is Bawn. There’s absolutely NO shopping around NW Arkansas for kicks. None. Closest place to shop is Tulsa, OK, which is 2 hours away. 2 weeks ago, we took a trip out there to go to some high end mall that my girl was dyin’ to get to. Soon as we get to the mall parking lot, I looked across the street at some bum ass non-descrip strip mall and spotted a Ross. Of course I told my girl, “handle your business, but I’m headed to Rawse!”, and proceeded across the street.
You know how Ross be on some hit or miss sometimes, cleats, size 16’s, wild mexican shoes, etc., so you really gotta look when you go. I spotted these cool grey Laver mids, but it was just the one shoe, looked at the tongue[ll] and saw it was a 12, so I damn near turned that place upside down lookin’ for the mate. As I’m looking for the mate, I found it, and also came across another pair, with the plastic string holding them together. Looked at the price, $19.99!?!? FOH Copped!
They may not be the greatest pair of shoes, but this definitely goes in the books for the everyday joints!…and since I rarely fux with adidas these days, I’m willing to pass on a pair for the DP.com March Madness bracket, my closet could use the space.
Whenever I take a daytrip, I load the trunk up with kicks, cuz sneakers simply make most subjects better, IMO. Yesterday I took a 15 min. trip to Bella Vista and ran into this park, Tanyard Creek. I read the signs and took the 2 mile hike through the trail, and bumped into this waterfall. I didn’t think I would see anything this dope so I’d left the kicks in the trunk. I started having wild visions, took the hike back to the car, grabbed some kicks, and went back to that spot, and started clicking. Onlookers were lookin’ at me crazy, but fux that! I had to get it in. That back and forth hike got a kid mad exhausted today, tho!
