Reminisce Session: OG 1994 Air Jordan 9 "Charcoal"

These are the only Black/Red Air Jordan's that I've never owned. Don't ask me why I have 3 pairs of Olives...1 OG and 2 retroes. These are one of the few Jordans that I would still line up for. I've seen a fusion version of these and anyone who knows me knows that I don't really care for fusions even though I own a pair of Fusion 5's and Fusion 12's....both were gifts though. I have not been able to secure a pair of OG's on the bay either. The grey is what sets this shoe off. Pure beauty. I want these so bad I actually though about getting the Charcoal 9.5's that came out on my birthday in 2006. Couldn't do it though. I really wish these would retro. I've wanted these since I was in 7th grade in spring 1994. Make it happen Mike!

COMPLETE MISERY.

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL.

Z and I couldn't get tickets to the Cavs Game on Saturday because Quicken Loans was COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. The Hawks are middle of the road....a playoff team, but not a team that we predicted would sell out the place, but since the Cavs are #1 in the NBA for the first time ever this late in the season...add that to the warm weather we've been experiencing lately....add that to the very yuppie corporate nature of attending Sporting Events these days, and waa-laah!!!! SELL OUT.



However, that is not what I'm miserable about.

Z and I went to Burger King at Cedar and Warrensville.....anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Burger King....McDonald's and Wendy's are great....but not BK. So we both get the same exact thing except I got mayo on mine. We eat, get back to her place, watch the Cavs, and by halftime, everything seemed chopped & screwed....or should I say dragged & chopped. All of my energy was completely gone. I'm used to the itis like the next man, but this was different.

Fast forward about 7 hours.

Z and I are at the Water Street Grille....a nice little place on West 6th....I like it, she loves it, and it was the first place her and I ever went out to shortly after we met 2 years ago. We order the drinks, and the appetizer, and I get the horrible feeling like if I don't get out of this dining room, I'm gonna vomit all over the table, her, and the appetizer.

I run downstairs to the bathroom and vomit all over the floor. smh.

What was embarrasing was I had to tell the server what I did. He was cool...sorta looked like this dude but a bit shorter......



What's Weird is...after I threw up, I got a huge energy boost and I thought that was all over.....BOY WAS I WRONG. I ate what I had originally ordered and was good for about an hour and a half....then during the Lakers Vs. Bulls game.....part 2, 3, and 4 of what happened at the restaurant. If there's any solace, at least at my house, I was able to make it to the toilet bowl.

Since saturday...even though I worked yesterday, my stomach has just been all fucked up....I haven't been able to keep anything down. I'm afraid to leave my house. Z was mad she had a little cold, but right now, I'd take that over this.

Since my last post before all this happened, I was blessed enough to get a new Zune, though It pretty much killed my pockets. I got a red 120GB.



My Broken 80GB will be on Ebay for sale in the next few days or so.

How U Luv That? Vol. 1.

This Is What I've Been Listening To Lately. I'm Also Addicted To Datpiff.com.

Nothin' Much Goin' On Lately...just chillin'. Everyone's giving me a hard time because the Lakers lost against the 76ers in the last 6 seconds because they gave Andre Igoudala enough room to shoot...and make a 3 that brought Philadephia a 1 point win.




Before That Will Came Though With Some Beer And He And I Smoked And Chilled....Reminiscing about our Championship Days At CD/Game Exchange before they started folding. After I get myself a little more together, I'm going to go there, but not yet.

Me.

Will.

He Had On His New Zoom Simpson 2's.

Same All Black LeBrons....I've really worn these too much and I hate the way this shoe creases on the inner sides of the toebox. Shit Is Weak.

My Dad Tryin' To Look Tough.


I Fell Asleep Watching A Video On My Zune, and now It's acting like It Doesn't wanna work. I use my Zune EVERYDAY. I mean EVERYDAY. It was the last thing I took from CD/Game Exchange before we parted ways in August. My Zune Is The Only Thing That Has Kept My Sanity Since I haven't been driving. I was on craigslist, and I'm so thirsty to drive that I considered buying a Ford Festiva for 400 bucks just to drive.

Reminisce Session: 1991 Air Force 180 High.

David Robinson's shoe in 1991. I've always wanted these. I've almost won them on Ebay a few times to no avail. I remember these being 150 back then....and at that point the only shoes I remember being more expensive were 1989's Air Pressure.

Anyway, I wonder how these would do as a retro....The Air Force 180 mid Barkley didn't do all that well at 125 when it retroed in 2005, 2007, and they just came out with more colorways for them last month.



I Absolutely Love These BTW. I own 3 colors myself...the 76ers road colorway (pictured), the olympic colorway, and the Premiums that came out in 2006 as a part of the huarache pack.

I think the mids would sell better if more people knew they were Barkleys. Oh well. I guess with the highs, I'll have to keep trying to win them on that bay.

"Rumour Is....A Lotta People Hatin' Me But I'mma Tell Y'all What I Been Doin' Lately....."

Things have been very busy lately. I haven't really been able to be online as much because of work, looking for a second job, and other things. I actually have a 2nd interview at Yours Truly...a restaurant not too far from my house....it's at Shaker Square. I'm interviewing to be a server....something I haven't done since May, 2001. I remember when I did it at Ruby Tuesday, I had so much money....and it enabled me to get pretty much any shoe I wanted....and at that time, that's when they were bringing out all the Retro 11's....I still remember my manager being pissed at me because I was late to work getting the Cool Grey 11's. I don't have that job anymore, but I still got those shoes doe! LOL. I don't have high expectations of this though because they want me to memorize the entire menu....that shit just isn't happening.

Last Night, Zarinah and I watched the Lakers narrowly escape defeat against the Houston Rockets....a team much like the Portland Trailblazers that worries me as a Laker fan because they just seem to have the Lakers' number everytime they play.



On A Side Note....Where The Fuck Are These For Retail?????


Kobe And Ron Artest Jawing At Each Other.


Before We Came Back To My House, We Got Interviewed By Newschannel 5 for our opinions on Casinos coming to Cleveland, and Dan Gilbert who owns Quicken Loans and The Cavs being the owner. I got to be on TV, but Zarinah didn't....probably because she said prostitution, and they probably couldn't remember how to spell her name. LOL.



Before that we ate at Winking Lizard on Prospect....and took pics because my Dad bought me a new digital camera out the blue and bought it up to my job. Some Random pics......

Zarinah.

Me.



Also, lately, I've kinda withdrawn myself from Shoes, but I do have 3 new pickups....all gotten on the humble.

Chalk LeBron 6...Completely Sold Out In Cleveland
(These were a Lay-A-Way that never got picked up. :))

All Star LeBron 6...Allegedly Only 24 of these were for sale in Ohio.
(I never tend to believe that kinda shit though but I haven't seen these anywhere around here)

Air Max 2003...aged...I wouldn't say beat, but I won these for 99 Cents on Ebay. This was the only colorway of these that I wanted that I didn't have. These remind me of when I worked at Footaction in 2003 and 2004.


Also, I bought a flash drive and took pretty much all the music on my laptop, and put it on this computer and on my Zune so now I'm up to 12,901 songs and it's almost full....I think I have about 9 GB left. Between that, buying stuff from Zune marketplace, and downloading free mixtapes from Datpiff.com, my Zune is fat as fuck! My dad just bought a 120 GB Zune....I may do the same.

I also got to see my Trice Piece. :)


After All This Time....There's Still Something About That Yellow.

Dear Blog....

I'm sorry I've neglected you these last few weeks....I'll be updating you in the next 2-3 days.....I promise.


ShortyC94 will return......
