“WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE!?!”
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
The ICs are smelling like success…
The week began with awesomeness because it was a holy day, or holiday as you may call it. Since it was my homey T.C.’s bornday I’ll call it a holy day. I had an invite to hang with my folks from Desedo Films for their bornday/BBQ celebration. That was dope. I appreciated the love that my homey MHB has for what I am doing. He chopped it up with me about his recent sneaker acquisitions and how he came up on four (4) pairs for a little over $30 per. That is Sneaker Fiends Unite! status so I saluted him for that.
The following day found Chocolate Snowflake and I doing some grocery shopping in the PathMark on Atlantic Terminal when the Google alerts started letting folks know there was feature in the New York Times about the Internets Celebrities.
Three Men and a Video Camera, Out to Reveal Urban Truths
This was some kind of awesome considering the fact that the ICs were hosting a film screening for our bestest friends (read: anyone who cared to show up) at the Brooklyn Central Public Library at Grand Army Plaza. If things couldn’t look any better MSNBC called us up and wanted to know if we could do their show the following day before we went public with our latest video.
Governor Eliot Spitzer was going to be the guest anchor for the Dylan Ratigan show. Yes, THAT Governor Spitzer.

At the end of the interview the lights in the studio go dim to sign off the show and lead-in to the Chris Matthews show ‘Hardball’. This is when I struck. I asked the governor, “What does it smell like?”
DP: Excuse me governor, not to offend you sir, but what does it smell like?
Governor Spitzer: Excuse me, what did you say?
DP: What does it SMELL like?
At this point, Rafi and Cas are like stunned that I would ask the governor WDISL? and rightfully so since we just met the dude so we obviously don’t rock like that. For a millisecond there was an uncomfortable silence as the governor waited for me to explain to him the smell I wanted him to recollect.
DP: What does POWER smell like?
Governor Spitzer: It can be beautifully intoxicating, but at a certain point you realize that you would rather be with your family, spending time with your kids going to a baseball game…
Well played governor and well said.. There was definitely a reason I voted for him the first time. Eliot Spitzer is an internets.
Ass Backwards Indonesia…

The ultra othodox reactionary Islamic nation of Indonesia just put a law into affect that bans tightpants.
Not from rappers like Lil’ Wang, but from women.
Men dressing up like women in Indonesia will still be acceptable
Capitalism Needs Some Compassion…
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
The similarity between the two ecological disasters in the Gulf coast region was that the government entrusted the well being of its citizens to private corporations: the company that was supposed to monitor the structural stability of the levees and the company that was supposed to ensure the safety of the oil drilling apparatus.
The problem with public safety is when it doesn’t add into the bottom line.
Capitalism is a machine that is bigger than my understanding. The whirring parts that distract me are there to diffuse accountability. The thing we know for sure is that the machine makes money, but who gets it? And isn’t the responsibility of protecting the people ultimately the obligation of the dude getting all the cake?
Capitalism needs compassion for it to remain sustainable.
Otherwise it has to devour everything. Naturally.
SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Like the true addict who I am I will be representing later today when I copp these Nike SB Dunks instead of paying my cellphone bill.
But how can I not own a pair of ‘Skunk’ Dunks with them being released on 04.20 and all?
The hazy purple on the swoosh and the sole was to be expected.
Peep the orange contrast stitching accent. That was a nice detail. The stash pocket on the tongue is just egregious tho’.
Happy 04.20 Day internets.
This is America and it is being totally unpatriotic to NOT be an addict to something.
