THE NEW CLASSICS…

My mind has been so pre-occupied with sneaker acquisition I haven’t been hitting y’all off with that good-ggod info on POLO Ralph Lauren sales.

The POLO.COM website is where you can come up on the additional 15% (on top of the 40% off sale) when you use the code nov1319.

I’m not sure if the code ends today or on the 19th. In any case, here are a few of the I.T.’s that are on my wish list…

big pony polo

The ‘Big Pony’ polo knit will be a banger in the summertime. They also have this in a varsity red with navy colorblocking that is equally fly.

crest knit

I fucks with maritime themes all day because they remind me of my grandparents house in Newport, Rhode Island.

crest rugby

A crisp white rugby is soooooo mean. Plus peep all the embroidered details and the color blocked collar and cuffs.

I will be ecstatic when I get this I.T. from the mailman. Shit like this just makes me happy. I already know which sneakers I am going to rock with this joint.

Just when you think the U.S. economy is already fucked the fuck up enough more bad news comes own the pipe.

Economy Sailing Into Rougher Waters

I love that economists are just now figuring this shit out. Do these dumbasses ever come from out of their parent’s basements? The U.S. economy has been in a precipitous decline for over a decade and the economists haven’t said shit. When the Dot Com boom was busting these humps kept tight lipped until it was too late. When ENRON was playing three card monty with their accounting ledgers the economists just acted like co-defendant shills. If General Motors or Ford or Chrysler flops we will be looking at double digit unemployment.

And when I say we I mean the imperial ‘we’ which is to say white. Black folks have already been knee deep in double digit unemployment ever since emancipation. How will our nation respond to the fact that no one is allowed to retire any longer? I like overhearing the conversations that happen on the commuter rail but I also know well enough not to interject my opinions into these people’s train of thoughts. Most white go their entire lives without ever examining the lies they believe as truth. The conversation went like this…

White #1: I like Obama and I voted for him.

White #2: You didn’t even vote.

White #1: I would have, but in New York it doesn’t even matter.

White #2: I voted for McCain. Obama will raise taxes.

White #1: You don’t make that much money.

White #2: And if I did he would raise my taxes.

Guess what Shit-4-Brains?!? Your taxes were raised the day we started dropping bombs on Afghanistan. The moment we sent troops into Iraq your taxes were also raised by proxy. So to make the complaint that Democratic presidents are the ones that raise taxes is of course a typically underdeveloped idea. The Republican led administration that has set up the $10B per month Iraqi rebuilding program raised your taxes six years ago. Now that there is a new administration in office the bill is coming to the table. Too bad that your dumb ass forgot that your ordered this shit eight years ago.

Now you are getting your just desserts.

Not For Long: Week 12

An interesting thought occurred to me…

I’m about to take over the lead in the BILLY X SUNDAY football pool. The kids that read my shit at XXL are starting to choke up as the season winds down. However, I am far from the lead in the DALLAS PENN football pool. The seasoned veterans are still in the hunt and still very serious about winning these sneakers.

What makes the adults so much more into free sneakers than the kids? I think that might be the ultimate folly of youth. The notion that something free isn’t worth winning. Us old heads realize that free shit is the best shit. I would take anything for free. Even a pile of actual shit. I’m hoping that no one puts this statement to the test because this is schwag bag season here in NYC.

I also wonder if someone from Las Vegas is going to have the refs from the Pittsburgh game tied up and sequestered for the rest of the season. When a cadre of referees comes together and still can’t make the correct call I wonder what they are thinking. I really could have used that point from the Pittsburgh game. There are five weeks left for me to take over the pool. I’m looking for a 13+ point picks week.

Oh and yeah, how ’bout them Cowboys?

All kinds of shit happens in our lives every year, every week, every day and sometimes we don’t have the time to reflect on the people that have shaped us as individuals and placed us in a position to be successful, or simply just be survivors.

Shout out to Mrs. Cumberbatch. My first grade teacher.

Shout out to the Old Jew. My rebbe, my teacher, my sponsor, my friend.

Shout out to Kenneth James Washington. Hardbody supreme emcee.

Shout out to my father. Not so much to my dad, but definitely to my father. For teaching me right from wrong and paying the bills all the while.

Shout to Russell ‘O.D.B.’ Jones. For teaching me to fly, but for the grace of GOD there go I.
