Draft Daze: The Legend of Dontrevius Wenters…

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

1986 draft

The dream of playing in the Association will become closer to a reality for a select few gifted athletes starting with the NBA draft today. For some other players, and people, and one non-athlete in particular it shall remain a dream. That person’s name is Dontrevius Wenters.

TERRENCE ELENTENY created Draft Daze specifically for the NBA draft. He asked me on the project to play the role of the central character and to add some writing to the project. I think that under the time constraints of all the people involved TERRENCE nailed this joint.

If you haven’t watched Draft Daze in it’s entirety please do so.

And don’t stop dreaming…

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.

Year Of The Rabbit…

It wasn’t just the Internets Celebrities who decided to celebrate the YOTR but also your favorite corporations. Let’s face it, China has their shit poppin’ right now economically. They are like the Rick Ross of nation-states.

A lot of sneaker heads went in on the Air Jordan YOTR VIIs (7s) but I’m cut from a slightly different leather so I’m eyeballing the 2011s instead.

I haven’t copped a pair of this year’s Air Jordan iteration and I’m a sucker for a slick package [ll]. Nike charges too much for these damn shoes NOT to put them in a decent box in case you want to deadstock them for later use.

Don’t deadstock the Internets Celebrities Year Of The Rabbit film. Wear this joint out because it will never scuff or turn yellow. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little yellow.

Weather Warfare…

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

First off, let’s all agree that the internets was created mainly for nerds and conspiracy theorists alike. I mean, who else can take so much shit out of context as these two groups? I love the idea that the shadow government is using weather satellites around the globe to stir shit up.

Every earthquake, tornado, flood, volcano and hailstorm from this point forward will be blamed on the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program aka H.A.A.R.P. It does crazy shit with the ionosphere and is now even being blamed for the shift in the shift in the Earth’s poles. Kind of like a shift in the old Earth’s uterus, as it were.

Networked satellites zapping the upper atmosphere with radar waves I am loving the plotline as if it were coming straight from a Tom Clancy novel or a Marvel comicbook. Instead of S.H.I.E.L.D., H.Y.D.R.A. or Cobra putting this nefarious plan into effect it’s the U.S. government’s own agency D.A.R.P.A. or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Government offices like this are what the alphabet was created for.

The best thing about conspiracy theories is that they are more than likely true if there is some money to be made in them being accurate. Like, if you could ruin a country’s cash crop with bad weather and force them to buy your agricultural goods why wouldn’t you take advantage. All’s fair in love and capitalism, and just like with love, good capitalism means never having to say you’re sorry.
