**Always a shout out to the soldiers getting their shit blowed the fuck up in the mountains or the desert in order that I can type my shit on these here internets…
I went to the ‘hood financial services institution to liquidate my earnings from my XXL column. The rate at check cashing locations has gone up from 1.7% to 1.83%, that is a 6% increase and perfectly honest within capitalism’s morays. I feel every penny though. I was still able to pay some bills with the remainder of the check and blow the rest the only way I know how.
Lord & Taylor is having a banana-head sale on Polo Ralph Lauren. I.T.’s that were $125 are now $40. I caught a nice knit shirt for summer splash-off status.
Red Lobster is hell’a expensive for being just some regular ass seafood spot. The cheddar biscuits were good. C.S. ended up not sharing the leftovers with the kid.
Marshall’s was selling Nike Dunks for $35 so you should already know how that went down.
C.S. took me to a Mexican tapas spot in Red Hook. We squeezed off another C-note thanks mostly to the pitcher of sangria that we ordered.
Later that evening I found myself in a bar in Williamsburg with the DeCon crew and DAN from OKP. The bartender was sexy enough to buy me back on a round of Ketel-1 and tonic.
From there we rushed the door of the Bobbito and Rich Medina party ‘Happy Feet’.
With my last ten bucks I went to White Castle.
Sadly for me, it’ll take another month before I can do this shit all over again.
I just wish I could be the same way with money the day AFTER cashing my check as I was the day BEFORE it arrived.
Save. Budget. Save. Budget. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat.
But then again, I hear you, you gotta live. This weekend I was showing my bro and his wife a good time in NYC. I will miss that bread this weekend.
Which Red Lobster, Queens Blvd in Rego Park? (Or is that Forest Hills? Either way… I’ve been there.) There’s a joint almost at the end of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn called Nick’s Lobster that I will recommend… Mike Tyson among other celebs has been there and his photo is on the wall to prove it! Can you imagine the Champ going in on those crustaceans? I wonder if he wore a bib (ll).
yo, i copped them same joints at marshalls! they had the matching DCxNew Era too! $45 total… prally could only rocc a white tee wit them joints tho
OH and than i hit the nike outlet (riverhead) for some grey/black/red dunks for $35, and the white red tech challenges (agassi joints) for $30!
Yeah, gotta love discount/closeout gear spots. Ross has been good to me the past six months. Sticky Rubber wool-sided Dunks, RED Converse Weapons, 4-color New Balance 574s, three different track jackets (two Reebok, one Nike) and more. So much I had to pass up and eventually lose out on because I can’t blow all my cash on gear, even if it is generally in the $10-20.00 range a piece. But with so many of them within five miles of my rest, I can only come up on more.
Nordstrom Rack was the spot, but it’s been dry for far too long.
DAMN D. LOLOL. I COPPED THE SAME PAIR OF DUNKS AT MARSHALLS. WOW.
easy come, easy go
