You know how ridiculous it is to be good at sports? It’s insanity. Do you realize how crazy it is to be good at sports when you are missing a limb or two? Peep this Olympic sweater that flew under the radar on the system. I scraped this jawn for $16. The shipping for the knit ($10) was almost more than the bid price.

Okay, I said Olympics, but maybe because it was the Paralympics people were sleeping? Nevertheless, I stays woke.

The brothers are primed for blast off this week. Rock-It Science is the long anticipated debut album from Timeless Truth. Forget about the features from family members like Meyhem Lauren, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Sean Price and Large Professor and just fall into the music.

Timeless Truth is the movement which first informed me about Action Bronson and Meyhem Lauren. Timeless Truth is the movement that trumpeted the lyrical prowess of Roc Marciano to me before I got to experience it for myself. I promise y’all that Rock-It Science is gonna be one of the albums you thank your stars and garters is still being made. Hip-Hop. It. Does. Not. Stop.

I scored this mean scarf on the system (eBay) for under $40 with $6 S/H.

Now I just need the knit sweater to be at a similar comeup price.

Keep your eyes peeled for an XXL for me Internets.

Sisyphus Rising…

December 12th, 2012

Sisyphus

If the Knicks win the championship this season it will be because Carmelo Anthony finally got the mountainous chip off his shoulder and pushed the giant rock called Knickerbocker frustrations up the hill.

Sisyphus was a mythic king who was cursed to push a boulder up a hill in ancient Greece. Right at the apex of the mountain the boulder would become unwieldly and roll back down to the bottom of the mountain. Sisyphus would atempt time after time to push the boulder to the top yet he would continuously fail. His destiny was to do this for time immemorial.

The Knicks have been the NBA’s embodiment of Sisyphus’ struggle ever since 1973. Forty years of Knickerbocker fan frustration might just come to a close this season with a team combined of castaways and over-the-hill players. I feel like this configuration of cursed and ancient athletes bodes well for finally pushing that boulder over the hill.
