been away for awhile…I was in mourning over Michael, but he would want the show to go on. So, in his honor, I’m living my life like it’s Golden! My and I have been taking advantage of the summer, with rides along the coast, breakfast at the beach, and hitting a couple of night spots. I’m trying not to turn into a hermit. Seems like I sequestered myself for over a year and a half. Slowly, I’m getting my shine back. It’s not easy to do, I must admit. Sometimes, it’s just easier to stay home and be stagnant. You can get lost in the digital world and forget about life happening all around you. But lately, I’ve been feeling the need to LOG OFF.

So, here I am, staking my digital claim and like Kid Fury says, keeping it cute. Now’s the time for random flicks…

If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you already know who Bill Gates is. If you don’t, click the red X in the left hand corner of your browser window. Carry on. This is the realest post I ever read…

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!

Rule 2: The world doesn’t care about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up,it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

In a word, Opulent.

Now let’s break this down. G-Shock partners with BAPE to make a watch that usually sales for $75. Their collabo now goes for $500(if you can even find one). Add to that a Diamond and Gold Bezel, and it becomes worth thousands. But its a G-shock. The thing I always loved about G-shock was their classic style, utilitarian use, and affordability. The addition of the bling is a contradiction to what makes the watch great. I guess it’s not frivolous if you’ve got it like that. And yeah, Pharrell can have it like that.

Every sneaker collection starts small. Mine started when I was about 10 years old. There was my first pair of blue and black suede pumas…then the white, red and blue Reebok classics…My first pair of chucks (grey with baby pink laces), and so on…Of course, I went on to have the coolest sneaker head job ever, and my collection swelled to as many as 500 pairs. But, in the end, it’s not how many pairs you have, but which pairs are the most coveted. You can have 5 pair of shoes and have a killer collection, as long as you have the right 5 pairs. These are my pics, not in any particular order, and not any particular shoe. (That would be a reeeeealllly long discussion.) I’m just going for the categories with this one. Let me know if you agree.

1. Classic White/White Sneaker (Usually an adidas Superstar or Nike Air Force 1, but lately, I’ve found a lot of nice options like the Ubiq Fatima Perforated)

2. High Performance Shoe (Running or Basketball will do, Think Adidas or Nike.)

3. Sneaker Boutique Exclusive Colorway (Something you will not find in the Slauson Swapmeet, footlocker or the mall, period. Think Undefeated, Proper, Huf)

4. Air Jordans in any style (Not team Jordan or any of the other Jordan brand styles. I’m talking AIR JORDAN)

5. Slip Ons (Usually Vans, but these days, Supra, Creative Recreation and a few others make a nice option)
