I fux with these dudes from the shit they did with Kid Cudi so I’m inclined to see them for FREE at Central Park’s SummerStage.

Who’s with me?

Show wasn’t free and is sold out.

Tear The Roof Off The Ceiling…

Monday, July 11th, 2011

My unborne children and their children’s children are being put up for grabs in the U.S. Govt’s high stakes game of fiscal roulette. In order to avert a U.S. default on their overleveraged debt the Congress has to pass a measure that allows the U.S. to borrow more money to pay down the existing debt.

Waitaminniit?!? Isn’t that how a ponzi scheme works? Yes, and this ponzi scheme controls all of our lives. Remember when the U.S. govt. had to bail out the bankers and the car companies and the insurance agencies and the Wall Street industrial complex? Well now who is gonna bail the U.S. govt. out?

One of our problems as a society is that we constantly repeat the same errors but still hope for a different outcome. We don’t ask the wealthy to pay their fair share of the tax burden but instead saddle these costs on to the backs of the working class. The other problem is that the working class in America is currently out of work.

Historically high rates unemployment and joblessness is being combined with historical levels of profiteering down on Wall Street. If we can’t raise the ceiling then we might better start excavating a sub-cellar. We’ll need the space down there to stash our rock bottom economy.

Unicorn Lifestyle…

Part of the allure of the lifestyle to most of us collectors is the fact that Polo Ralph Lauren will distribute certain I.T.s to a certain region or country and the superior collectors will establish a chain that allows them contact with these faraway places. This way you can bust the skullcaps of your local circle with an I.T. they didn’t even know existed.

Make sure to visit my folks at Vintage Gear Addicts for their lifestyle drops.

One of the pieces that has attained mythical status in the lifestyle culture is the 5-7 patch longbill 92 Racing cap. The debate rages on how many patches this cap actually holds. The truth is that it may very well be a custom joint from the rip. The most enlightened lifestylers have been customizing their pieces with patches from their discarded schmedium I.T.s.

This is why I love rocking Polo Ralph Lauren pieces. The culture of collectors I fux with have devised our own narrative of the lifestyle all the while understanding that Ralph Lauren’s gentility is just as made up as our own. Actually, our narrative is better because we don’t ever think we might pass for Anglo-Saxon Europeans and we are cool with that. For me, it’s all about the colorway and my own #swag.

Lawn Tennis Lifestyle…

^ This is fiyahverks!

Polo Ralph Lauren is once again the official outfitter for the annual All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Clubs Tournament better known as the Wimbledon Championship. This is the only grand slam tennis event still played on grass. The Wimbledon Championships are 125 years old this summer. This historical milestone is perfect for Polo Ralph Lauren and the brand’s heritage aspirations.

I copped this custom fit knit when I was in Atlanta. I can squeeze in the XXL right now but, I’ll wait to rock this I.T. in August after I’ve shaved off just a few more pounds. Rocking a belly shirt es no bueno.

I was a little taken aback by the number patches on the sleeves. Polo Ralph Lauren is getting a little patch crazy. I get it as far as describing the year the shirts were produced, but that misses the point of being an item designed after the heritage of the sport. Tennis players never wear numbered jerseys.

The only shoe I will consider wearing with this knit is the adidas Rod Laver signature shoe. Naturally, the navy joint. Rod Laver pwned the Wimbledon grass back in the 1960s winning the tourney four(4) times including the year that the Polo brand was established.

I’m Still Hungover…

There’s a reason they call it Bhangkok and not BhangKUNT. [ll]

People will agree that sequels generally sux ass. Except for The Empire Strikes Back and Futuristic Brunch, of course. Sequels are where filmmakers snooker the audience into sitting around for another few hours to try and relive the nostalgia of the previous classic vehicle.

Hangover 2 is not that sequel. Hangover 2 is better than Hangover, just like a balls out night in Bhangkok is way iller than a night in Vegas. A night in Bhangkok could have you shot, maimed, killed, or worse, it could have you lose your asscheek’s virginity.

All I’ma say is that Hangover 2 might be the summer sleeper classic of 2011. I expected to have a few laughs, but this shit was out of its mind. Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper were hilarious while Zach Galifinakis pwned the movie. Zach Galifinakis is who Jack Black would be if he were really funny.
