SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

OG shockwave

I’m inching closer to my dreams of becoming a bonafide filmmaker. Okay, my work with Rafi and Cas IS indeed official filmmaking, but I’m getting closer to having my own production company. Okay, BluCheezTV is my own production company, but I’m one step away from producing my first project that someone pays for. And that makes me another step closer to producing a film on the Decepticons and the 1980s New York City.

When I make it big I won’t be buying myself a Cadillac or a BMW because those things aren’t really a city kid’s dream. And for a kid who used to steal cars I can tell you that it sux to come out of your house and see your shit gone. Stolen or more than likely towed. Making city kid moves requires nothing more than a fresh pair of kicks. And mine will be the freshest.

The NIKEiD program is featuring the revisioned Air Trainer. This time however they have added all their latest technological bells and whistles to make the cross trainer the most highly evolved sneaker on the planet. With a forefoot lateral strap and a Flywire base atop the 2009’s 360 air platform this might be the lightest and strongest shoe ever made.

My design has royal purple patina leather, nubuck and a personalized heel. It’s an homage to a friend of mine who helped me get to this point in life. Way back when I had no idea what I really wanted to do with my life. My friend knew that I had to do something other than what I was doing and what he was doing. He told me that I couldn’t go with him on his mission. That I had to go off and do my thing. So here I go now. Hail Meg!

Toy Story: Transformers – Animated Series

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

Thanks to Marshall’s my action figure madness doesn’t stop. They are currently featuring the Voyager class action figures from the Transformers Animated Series.

The Voyager class is a step upwards in assembly skill and sizing from the Deluxe class but not as official or as large as the Leader class of Transformer action figures.

The MSRP of these figures was originally $24.99 but Marshall’s and TJMaxx are offering them for $12.99 so if you are a collector please visit these stores before the holiday season rush. The Transformers figures are very well made and also extremely articulated for hours of fun recreating scenes from the animated series.

I have seen multiple units of the Shockwave figure at several stores and this is one of the only figures that is a ‘quad’ transformer, meaning it has four different modes it can be placed in. For my own personal reasons I relate to this character from the OG series and I am happy he was brought along to subsequent iterations of the franchise to be a loyal soldier for Megatron.

Shouts to CollectionDX for their thorough review of this figure. Marshall’s is overstocked with these Transformers right now so I suggest any fan of the franchise should beat a path to one of their stores and secure a favorite character or two.

Who knows, maybe you might even get inspired into making yourself a video?

Candidate for best picture ever.

This pic is like food p0rn.

Unfortunately, for one unlucky bad boy this was his last meal.

I recall eating in the Chelsea Diner on West 23rd Street one morning after leaving the Tunnel disco. The place was ram-packed and thugged the fuck out. Some dude and a chick started beefing with each other until dude smacked her in the face with glass.

In the ensuing melee I bolted the joint with my crew to skip out on the tab as did several other people. One of the cats juking the tab ran into the street without looking and was hit by an ambulance. He hopped up after a few seconds and kept running.

This was pretty much a typical night after you left the Tunnel. Shenanigans were gonna pop off somewhere soon because mofos were irresponsibly intoxicated. If I had been at the diner on West 14th Street where sonn got his wig peeled you can believe I would have been the one maniac looking to eat someone’s untouched cheeseburger.

DPEEZY WEEKEND GUIDE TO CUFFING SEASON…

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

dpeezy

What do you mean you haven’t selected your Cuffing Season finalists? This isn’t just the playoffs party people, this is the championship. As soon as you feel that nip in the air you should be battening down the hatches. Don’t let this be the winter you are left in the cold with no drawls next to you to keep you warm. It’s time to put some extra innings onto your plan.

The weekend forecast is bright, sunny and windy. You are going to need to put a jacket over that sweater playboy because all the action is still outdoors. I thought I could do some of you a favor by passing along my veteran NYC playbook for bagging up the tenderloin in the long brown boots.

MUSEUMS
Dude, get up on museums. Hot chicks like museums and my favorites only cost a dollar to attend.

Metropolitan Museum of Art
This is one of NYC’s greatest treasures. Please bring a shorty here and note that the admission price is only SUGGESTED. When I go here with Chocolate Snowflake I pay $1 for her and $1 for me. I let the Rockefellers subsidize the rest of my visit. The architecture of the building alone makes the trip worth your time and when you combine that with the facilities art collection you are having one helluva day.

Tavern On The Green
The Tavern is reopened in its newest and greatest incarnation as an open air food court and NYC visitor’s center. Think of the new Tavern as ski lodge for pedestrians, cyclists and inline skaters. With the leaves in Central Park changing colors right now and a crispness in the air you may get inspired to have a horse and carriage ride. Don’t so that tho’ because the smell of horse ass stays with you all day.

SHOPPING
This is my favorite part of dating a broad.

Big Box spots
After visiting Ikea the other night and learning that the swedish meatballs meal was $2.49 on Tuseday nights I thought that Ikea was the perfect home furnishings date. Make sure to bring your canteen so you can stock up on the unlimited refills of Lingonberry juice. Wal-Marts and Targets are also great spots to date shop provided your girl isn’t on her period because watching a chick selecting feminine hygiene products is always a little weird for me.

Farmers/flea markets
Like the NFL, Cuffing Season is a game best played outdoors. Farmer’s markets are great places to show a cuffing candidate (a cuffee) your value for organically grown produce and artisinal cheeses. In other words, fronting. Just grab a cup of cider and talk your talk. And if you see me at the Brooklyn Flea do me a solid and buy some of my shit.

DINING
I’m on a latin bender right now, Mexican, Colombian, Dominican and Chilean.

Chipotle
Chipotle stays winning for the simple fact they sell magheritas and understand that I don’t endorse tricking during Cuffing Season but if you gotta trick then at least get nice and use the empty margherita cup to refill with another beverage. I suggest the lemonade.

La CabaƱa
This is one if my O.G. fave spots when I lived in Corona Queens. They got your pork fried pork if you ain’t doing the godbody hardbody.

Tierras Colombianos
Bandeja campesina. And that is all.

This drop isn’t being posted to help you get the smell of pussy on your fingers. You should already have that experience from your cuffing candidate. This post is to help you figure out if you like doing other things with your jumpoff other than just fucking.
