BARNES was a former NFL lineman whose passion was for painting. I love this piece above for all the emotion and movement he described in the bodies.
BARNES was also the consummate humanist. BARNES said that he never painted any subjects with their eyes open because, “We don’t ever see each other, we are blind to each other’s humanity.”
Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month. This typically means I hold it down in the Brooklyn Museum of Art for their Target 1st Saturdays program. The music has been so shitty lately that I haven’t bothered going to the museum. They are playing the movie ‘Pee Wee’s Big Adventure’ though so I may walk across the street just to watch that.
Speaking of a big adventure, who walks in Brooklyn?
Buckshot Shorty, he sounds like an automatic…
The new Brooklyn dad. He looks like Combat Jack.
I was thinking about have a Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour, but not unless we have more than five (5) people.
Sheeeeeit, I can always go sneaker shopping by my lonesome.
Dunk premiums are on sale right now. The pricepoints range from $40 to $60, but if we put our paper together we can negotiate some serious deals.
I just caught these Tampa Skate Park SB’s for $60 after I put on my super haggle steez of show an go. Show your money and then act like you are going to walk out of the store. Cash rules everything around us and that is how deals are made.
By a show of hands let me know if you are trying to make the rounds tomorrow.
In this advanced age of hyper-cyber-communication the paranoia of a pandemic spreads faster than the actual virus. And this H1N1 shit moves pretty fast. This is a perfect storm for the forces of EEEEEEEEE-vil. The reactionary media network wants to use this instance to fingerprint people and collect DNA samples. The racism that is being fomented is even deadlier than the virus itself.
But who is to blame for this untreatable influenza strain? Is it the Mexicans? What about the Chinese? Or is it the big corporations that process meats and produce on such a large scale that when a source becomes tainted it has already been distributed to half the global population? The proper popular name for the H1N1 virus should prA’li be the ‘ConAgra Virus’ but their D.C. lobby is way too slick to let that go down.
I remember the dysintery I acquired during a vacation in Mexico was nothing to fuck with. It had me sweating profusely, curled up under my covers like a scared child. I had to go out to Long Island to stay at my parents house so they could take care of me. Moctezuma wasn’t no joke. He was pissed off at being double-crossed by CORTES and the conquistadors. Maybe the best name for the swine flu is simply karma?
While BeYONCE stars in the number one picture in theaters across the country KELIS files for divorce in her third tri-mester.

Are you excited by the young players in Chicago acting like the 2009 Cardiac Kids? I know I am. BEN GORDON is a beast. The Celtics are still going to win the series, but the retarded scoring in this series harkens back to the days when the team led by FAT LEVER and ALEX ENGLISH squared off against the squad hosted by MARK AGUIRE and ROY TARPLEY.
And speaking of Denver versus Dallas? As a kid growing up I was called every American city that began with a ‘D’. I don’t want to pick the Nuggets over my namesake, but I feel like CHAUNCEY BILLUPS has the edge over JASON KIDD.
Atlanta needs to just hurry up and cool off the Heat so that Cleveland can come in and eat their food.
Orlando vs. Boston in Round 2. Who the fuck cares about this shit other than Nerditry?
