Throwback: Supreme Dunk Release

Date: October 27-31st 2003
Place: Supreme New York

The day the game changed. Sneaker fanatics lined up for days on Lafayette Street anticipating the release of the infamous Nike Supreme Dunk Hi's. The sneakers were limited to around 168 pairs in three colorways. Peep the madness.



Yep, still got mine. Ando holds shit down! Good looking out my dude, and I'm still throwing you shout outs.




These herbs really did ruin the game. I'm done.

Cal is burning!

In case you've been living underneath a rock this past week, there's been a number of wildfires spreading throughout Southern California. My heart and condolences to all those affected by this disaster.

Didn't get out of work until 8 tonight, and I've gotten almost 14 hours of sleep in the past three days. I'm way past due to knock the fuck out.

Where to now?

I began gathering my thoughts this evening after talking with a co-worker (Yes, she's actually one of the few cool people at my workplace) about what exactly I'm going to be doing with my life. I told her that I was on my way to my Underwriting class and she said "Oh, so you're done with journalism?"

So I think to myself. Shit, am I? Am I really willing to give up four years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that easily? Four years of school, and a summer magazine internship and what do I have to show for it? This fucking blog. (Shouts to my frequenters though!)

Don't get me wrong though. I've got nothing against number crunching. I'm learning new shit, getting paid, the boss is happy, what more could I ask for? But to be honest, I really don't think that accounting is my steez, thus leading me to take underwriting courses.

Nonetheless, I can't stress that shit too much. I'm just going to roll with it flow, have fun, get rich and hopefully find a nice girl on the way.

Dead Serious: Shady/LRG Beef?

Riding the success of last Fall's "Dead Serious" hype, Jonas and the boys at LRG unveiled their newly released "Jason Hoodie" at the Las Vegas trade show MAGIC a few months back. However, tension is brewing between the Shady and LRG camp based on a similar "Jason" hoodie released by Shady a few months prior to the LRG release. A Shady rep released a video on Youtube addressing this issue ,claiming that LRG is nothing but a bunch of biters.

October 20, 2007 -- PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed yesterday.

The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly, according to the "America's Favorite Cities" survey by Travel & Leisure magazine and CNN Headline News.

About 60,000 people responded to the online survey which ranked 25 cities in categories including shopping, food, culture, and cityscape, said Amy Farley, senior editor at the magazine.

For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people, the poll found.

"Yo, we about to run a train on this broad? Ay yo, I'm down! All aboard, WOO WOO!"

Scumbags and One Eyed Willy

The effects of alcohol can bring out the inner-scumbag in all of us.

On Friday night, shortly after the slight drama which went down outside of Park, I was able to somewhat divert all of the negative attention onto myself almost effortlessly. Some chick that just finished copping Halal was crossing the street and decided to not avoid the gigantic puddle of water in front of her. So what happens? The chick stumbles in the puddle ruining her heels and soaking the bottom of her pants.

My instincts kick in, and my obnoxious Jadakiss-esque laugh ensues. The shit was hilarious. Unfortunately, nobody happens to share the same sense of humor as I. The chick ends up grilling the crew, and I received the third degree from just about everyone. So I ended up being called a jerk and lectured about how much of a scumbag move that was. Everyone except for D.T., who knew what was up.

Saturday night was trouble though. We hit up K-Town, downed a bottle Johnny Walk and a few brews and one-eyed Willy was destined to make an appearance. Claudia Schiffer eh? LOL! GOOOONIES!

Nowadays, I've got morals, as humorous as it may sound.

And yo, girls can be pretty damn cruel as well. They definitely know how to make a dude feel awkward after meeting them, that’s for sure. Hahaha.

Rain

Of all the days for mother nature to be pissed off, she chooses the one time I receive a half day from work. Now I'm having second thoughts about heading to dinner in the city. Thus, pissing everybody else off.

I'm tired, drenched, and hungry.

Maybe a night out really is needed.

Yup!

That's what I chose! That seems about right.

Why I Hate My Morning Cummute

Why do people have to be so rude in the morning? Especially if you're a morning commuter on the MTA. Yo, the E and F line are the worse. Someone tell me why people don't wait for others to exit a train before entering? It's common courtesy. Wait till people get off the train before you fucking start pushing and cramming your fat asses into a crowded, compact, non air-conditioned subway car. Just the other day some lady shoulder rammed me trying to catch the 3 train. I was waiting for people to get off the train, yet the bitch didn't have the decency or class to say "excuse me", or "Sorry for giving you a Ladanian Tomlinson stiff arm."

In other news, I'm watching the newest South Park as of now, and it's easily the funniest episode this season. Even though there's only been 3 episodes. Butters is easily the funniest character. Hahahaha...

I've got work tomorrow. Praying for an early day on Friday to jump start the weekend.

Yeahhhh boiiiii

In case you didn't know...

The Hofstra Pride, a.k.a Wide Receiver University (WRU) is 6-0. Not even USC, LSU, and Florida can say that. That's right bitches. They're pretty much running shit...

YUP!

CRAWWWWWWWWLINNNNN INNNN MYYYYYY SKINNNNNNNN

On another note, the Yanks will be keeping Torre.. Do you think the Yanks would want to deal with all of the mayhem that would ensue if they don't? Thus, leading to the the signings of Mo, Posada, and prolly Gay-Rod. Not 100% with that fool though. Hopefully he goes to the Red Sox for $300 million.

Nevertheless, the Yankees = Fugaz.

Yeah....

Stephen Jackson is Back!

OAKLAND, Calif. - Stephen Jackson reported to the Golden State Warriors' training camp Monday with a new tattoo covering much of his chest. With a church window as the background, two praying hands are inked on his sternum - and they're holding a gun.

Yes, this is the same Stephen Jackson who will miss the Warriors' first seven games under NBA suspension for pleading guilty to a felony charge of criminal recklessness after firing an awfully similar gun into the air at an Indianapolis strip club.

"I pray I never have to use it again," Jackson said in explanation.

Jackson's incredible audacity under the tattoo needle is stunning even to his teammates, who seem to be in a frantic competition to cover their entire bodies in ink.

"I can't believe that one," said Al Harrington, who redecorated his arms and back. "I thought I was crazy."

But Jackson's fearlessness is exactly why the Warriors love him - and basketball's favourite playoff underdogs need a big season from the swingman now that Jason Richardson has departed along with the Warriors' element of surprise.

"We're going to have a full season together, and all the nonsense is behind me," said Jackson, perhaps also referring to his unfinished full back tattoo of the jack of diamonds - with himself as the jack. "All my probation stuff is behind me. I don't have to worry about flying back and forth to court this year, so it's all positive. I'm ready to roll."

Jackson and Harrington transformed the Warriors in January after arriving in an eight-player trade with Indiana. With a fantastic late-season flourish, Golden State surged over .500 and made the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons - and then knocked off the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in arguably the biggest post-season upset in NBA history.

Jackson's three-point shooting and veteran poise kept the Warriors in many close games, but he'll be asked to do even more this season after Jason Richardson was traded to Charlotte in a draft-day deal for No. 8 overall pick Brandan Wright. The deal disrupted the Warriors' core, and most of Richardson's former teammates didn't like it.

"J-Rich is one of the best, so when they traded him, I was hurt," Jackson said. "We made history in a couple of months. Just imagine what we could have done in a whole season. But at the same time, I put my trust in Chris Mullin and Nellie to make the right decisions."

The Warriors posed for team pictures at their training complex Monday in downtown Oakland before hopping a flight to Hawaii, where they'll open workouts and play two exhibitions against the Los Angeles Lakers.

With coach Don Nelson's protracted contract renegotiations finally wrapped up, everything seems harmonious for a franchise that actually believes it should make a return trip to the playoffs.

Baron Davis, the star of the Warriors' dramatic run to the post-season, said he won't opt out of his contract next summer if he doesn't get an extension this month, contrary to prior reports. Davis reported to camp lighter and quicker after off-season consultations with Jerry West and Canadian superstar Steve Nash.

Harrington also lost 20 pounds during the summer to make good on a vow to improve his rebounding with better athleticism. Jackson dropped 17 pounds even though he says he "wasn't trying to. I'm a sexy guy, you know? It happens."

Though he won't turn 30 until next April, Jackson projects a steady veteran calm that belies his mercurial reputation. Aside from the strip-club gun incident, he's best known for his No. 2 role in the infamous brawl in the Detroit stands alongside then-teammate Ron Artest.

"There's a lot of stuff in Jack's past, but that's true of almost anybody if you stay in this game long enough," Nelson said. "We have great confidence in him as a player and a leader, and I think you'd hear that from most people who have spent time to really get to know Jack."

Nelson chose Jackson as a team captain this season along with Davis and Matt Barnes. Jackson, who won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs, welcomes the responsibility - and he has accepted his seven-game ban for breaking up a fight in Indianapolis with a few gunshots into the air.

In fact, Jackson plans to serve his suspension in a way that only he could imagine. He says he'll get Warriors game jerseys from seven of his newest teammates, and he'll wear one in front of the television for each game.

"No, 15 (games) would have been harsh," Jackson said. "It could have been a lot worse. Seven games, I can't complain about it, because I put myself in that position to be suspended. I'm going to stay positive with it, work out and be ready when it's time to come back."

The Dreadful Mets

That basically sums up the past month for the Mets '07 season. Not only did they blow a seven game fucking lead, they were able to be molly-whopped worse than Notre Dame in a Bowl game.. The sad part is , I have nothing to say. I honestly, don't need too.

But best believe, I'll be bleeding orange and blue next year. Fake fans, please become Yankees fans. You were never welcome.

Oh yeah, fuck you Donovan McNabb.

At least the Giants won!

Life

"...Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about..."

Sexual Harassment at Work

Random Rant #1

I'm not one to bitch in regards to people. Normally, I try to see the best in everybody. But one thing that pisses me off is when people don't greet you. Not just someone you met once or any random person either. A person you see on a daily basis, formally introduced, etc. You know the person, he/she knows you and vice versa.

Example, I was outside having a boggie outside my building while on break. I see two colleagues of mine walking, along with some other random dude. I'm not one to butt in on conversations or anything, so I figured I'd let them do their thang and when they see me, they'll speak up. I saw these people eying me from a distance, so it's not like they missed me. As they approached the entrance to the building, they walked right by me. No hello, what's up, nod, or any sign of acknowledgment. Straight up, staring straight ahead like I don't exist. That's kind of fucking busch league. Yeah, I was on the phone at the time to, but I'm not a fucking paraplegic. I do have the ability to wave. Walked right past me yo.

Fucking sucias.

EDIT: People who don't say thank you when you hold the door for them are the scum of the earth. They can suck a chode.

TALK LIKE A BALLER

Here are the Top 10 Most Expensive Cellphones in the world. I swear, people have way too much money these days....


1. Goldvish “Le million” = $1,000,000 (£540,540)

A PR stunt it may be, and they surely can’t be expecting to sell any, but the Goldvish “Le million” is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according the Guiness Books of Records. There’s even been talk of a $1.3million phone, but this has fewer diamonds than the Goldvish so I can’t see where the extra expense comes from! The “Le million” is a one off, featuring a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit. If $1 million is out of your price range. the Geneva-based Goldvish also offer several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600 (£13,837).
2. Vertu Signature Cobra = $310,000 (£167,567)

Vertu is now taking orders for the Signature Cobra, designed by French jeweler Boucheron, but you had better be quick as only 8 are being made! The Cobra will feature one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Vertu will also be offering a “cheaper” version, ruby free, at $115,000 (£62,162).

3. Sony Ericsson Black Diamond = $300,000 (£162,162)

Apparently the Black Diamond will be available in 2007, not from Sony Ericsson but by a company called VIPN. Initially only 5 unique numered pieces will be available for the unbelievable price of, wait for it… $300,000.

With regards to the specifications, don’t expect anything remarkable for your money. It will have Quad-band with Wi-Fi, an Intel 400Mhz processor running windows mobile 5, and a touch sensitive 2-inch screen. It will also include internal memory of 128mb and will come with a 2Gb SD card for external storage, plus a respectable 4 Megapixel camera.

The designer Jaren Goh has used some pretty impressive materials for the build, featuring titane with polycarbonate, mirror-finish cladding and diamonds.

4. Vertu Diamond = $88,000 (£47,567)

The Diamond is Vertu’s premium range of high-end mobile phones. As the name suggests the handsets in the Diamond range are diamond-encrusted handsets made from platinum. Only 200 of the handsets are being produced, the most expensive believed to be worth an estimated £50,000.

5. Motorola V220 Special Edition = $51,800 (£28,000)

Austrian designer Peter Aloisson, has taken a standard Motorola, studded it with 1,200 diamonds and added a keyboard inlaid with 18 carat gold. The outcome is a £28,000 handset, suitable only for footballers and film stars!

6. Gold Edition Nokia 8800 Phone = $2,700 (£1,459)

If you have $2,700 to spare, you can now buy the Nokia 8800 in 24K gold. However, be warned, if you think you’ll be getting a better phone for your extra cash, you wont! The features found on the Gold Edition are the standard 8800 features, which are pretty basic. It includes a 0.5 Mega pixel SVGA camera, 64 MB of internal memory, 64 voice polyphonic rigntones, FM Radio, Mp3 Player, video recording and 180 mins talktime. However, the Gold Edition does includes a special edition box and charging dock!

7. Mobiado Professional EM (wood) = $1,900 (£1,027)

The Mobiado Professional EM, is a wood-clad upgrade of their earlier Nokia-based phone that includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, FM radio, Bluetooth, and according to Mobiado it’s the first production phone with Titanium buttons. Only 200 are being made and each one has its limited number engraved on the back. At $1,900 however, you’re still paying an awfully high premium for a fairly basic phone encased in wood!
8. Bang & Olufsen (Samsung) Serene = $1,250 (£675)

Bang & Olufsen hooked up with Samsung to design the sleek but unconventional Serene. Its not a bad looking phone and it even has a built-in motor to assist you in opening and closing the phone. It’s not very practical however, requiring a special screwdriver to access the battery and the SIM card, and its circular keypad will take some getting used to. Also, for some strange reason they have positioned the camera lens on the side of the device, which will make it difficult to align snapshots via the viewfinder on the display.

9. Lamborghini 8800 Sirocco from Nokia = $To be announced

The Lamborghini Nokia 8800 Sirocco is another special edition, like the previously launch Aston Martin branded Sirocco. It will ultimately be a standard 8800 Sirocco but with the addition of the famous Lamborghini logo engraved on the font and the back, plus ball bearings from the auto company to in the slider phone mechanism. The Lamborghini phone will be a limited edition with only 500 being made. It will also feature Lamborghini graphics as wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones, and even has a short documentary video about the Lamborghini.

10. Gresso Luxury Phone = £expensive

The Russia based Gresso, is a new entry into the luxury phone market. Their aptly name “Gresso Luxury Phone” is made of gold and African Blackwood. Apparently they will be releasing a collection of five models called the Black Aura collection, and the designer is a “well known” Italian designer. Currently there are two versions of the African Blackwood phone, one with pink gold highlights named the Gresso Blackwood Gold Edition, and one made entirely of African Blackwood. In addition to the two African Blackwood phones Gresso also make a phone made entirely of pink gold named the Gresso Gold phone. Initially, the phones will be on sale only in Russia.

A Fix!

After months of withdrawl, I've had a bit of a relapse. At least the damage was minimal..

Hypocrisy?

RICHMOND, Va. -- More than 50 pit bulls seized from Michael Vick's property face a Thursday deadline to be claimed. If no one comes forward, they could be euthanized.

Federal prosecutors filed court documents last month to condemn 53 pit bulls seized in April as part of the investigation into dogfighting on the Vick's property. No one has claimed any of the dogs, which are being held at several unspecified shelters in eastern Virginia, the U.S. Attorney's office said Wednesday.

The civil complaint filed by federal prosecutors does not name the Atlanta Falcons quarterback and is separate from the criminal case against him. But it does state the pit bulls were part of the dogfighting operation known as "Bad Newz Kennels," which Vick and three cohorts are accused of operating.

Also included in the document are detailed allegations about the nature of the animals' training regimen and the dogfights occurring at Vick's property at 1915 Moonlight Road in Surry County.

The government filed three public civil forfeiture notices in a Richmond newspaper to publicize the dogs' confiscation, and the deadline for claims is 30 days after the appearance of the final notice, filed July 24.

Federal prosecutors declined to comment Wednesday on the seized dogs. Typically, when confiscated property goes unclaimed, the government asks the court to have the items declared forfeited. In this case, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will make the final decision on the dogs' fate.

"There's no dispute over who owns the dogs," said Daphna Nachminovitch, a spokeswoman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "Obviously this is not going to be a process where someone steps forward and says, 'This is my dog, can I have her back, please?' "

Though Hudson, who also is handling Vick's criminal case, will determine what becomes of the pit bulls, Nachminovitch said that it's likely that they will be euthanized because they're not adoptable as pets.

"These dogs are a ticking time bomb," she said. "Rehabilitating fighting dogs is not in the cards. It's widely accepted that euthanasia is the most humane thing for them."

Vick, 27, said through a lawyer this week that he will plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. He is scheduled to enter his plea agreement Monday and could face up to five years in prison.

Three Vick associates have pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and agreed to testify against him if the case went to trial. They said Vick provided virtually all the gambling and operating funds for the Bad Newz Kennels enterprise. Two of them also said Vick participated in executing at least eight underperforming dogs by various means, including drowning and hanging.

The locations of the shelters holding the dogs haven't been disclosed out of concern that the animals could be stolen, Nachminovitch said.

"They are a hot commodity in the world of dogfighting," she said.

BURNNNN

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A woman set fire to her ex-husband's penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, Moscow police said Wednesday.

Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was "difficult to predict."

The attack climaxed three years of acrimonious enforced co-habitation. The couple divorced three years ago but continued to share a small flat, something common in Russia where property costs are very high.

"It was monstrously painful," the wounded ex-husband told Tvoi Den newspaper. "I was burning like a torch. I don't know what I did to deserve this."

GUILTY

For once, I'm speechless.


See you in 2010. (Hopefully)

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

Innocent until proven guilty huh? Land of the free, home of the brave? Cue, Jigga Man: "I thought this was America people!"

The festivities for the 2007-2008 NFL season have already begun. Madden 08 officially dropped 40 minutes ago, and the Broncos just smacked up the Niners. Unfortunately, the highlight this season isn't taking place on the field.

Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, three-quarters of the Cincy Bengals, and now, the most electrifying man in football. Add Mike Vick to the list. What's different about Vick's case is that the fucking guy hasn't even been convicted. Along with his jersey and merchandise being pulled of the shelves by the NFL, Vick has lost his endorsement deals with Nike, Reebok, and Rawlings. How messed up is that?

The NFL hinted yesterday that they're planning on suspending Vick for the season. Which once again brings me back to my point. WHY IS HE BEING SUSPENDED? Is it because PETA won't shut the fuck up? Is it because somebody with nothing going on in their lives decides to stand outside Niketown picketing a sign?

What if I were to say that I knew that Peyton Manning was funding a smut film for the mass rape of billy goats? And my two cousins are witnesses. Hell, they're more credible than the drug addict snitches the government have against Vick, right? Would that be enough for a Federal indictment?

And what if Mike Vick is somehow is found not guilty? I can't imagine what it'll take to rebuild his reputation. Well, Kobe did get acquitted for rape.

YAO GETS CRUNK!

Yao imbibes a bit too much during wedding party

BEIJING -- Newlywed Yao Ming treated his Chinese teammates to a celebratory dinner at a posh hotel, where guests feasted on a 10-course meal -- and the 7-foot-6 center had a little too much to drink.

The Houston Rockets center "rarely drinks," but this time he marked the occasion and "drank quite a bit," Yao spokesman Erik Zhang said.

"I don't think [Yao] was drunk but he was pretty close. He went back to his room and fell asleep," Zhang said by telephone. "But he felt this was a celebration. And also his teammates, the people who care about him, they're not going to let him get away with not drinking. And he knows that."

Yao tied the knot Monday with longtime girlfriend Ye Li, a 6-2 player on the Chinese women's basketball team, in Yao's hometown of Shanghai. Only close friends and relatives attended.

Yao and Ye held a dinner Thursday night at Beijing's Grand Hyatt hotel with their teammates, Zhang said. China Basketball Association officials were among the 70 guests.

No teammates or coaches from the Rockets were there, Zhang added. Yao plans to host a dinner when he returns to Texas.

Teammate Liu Wei said in a posting on his blog that the dinner included traditional wedding banquet games designed to embarrass the bride and groom.

Guests emptied six bottles of Mao Tai, a fiery Chinese spirit usually downed in shots from small teacups. Yao and Ye took a shot with their arms intertwined, and were asked to kiss in front of the guests.

Yao also picked up Ye, and the bride had to light a cigarette for her tallest teammate, who was standing on a chair above the towering couple.

Guests dined on grouper, abalone, roast pork and ginseng chicken soup.

"I can tell you there was definitely no shark's fin," Zhang said, referring to the traditional banquet delicacy that Yao pledged to give up after becoming spokesman for environmental groups that oppose killing sharks for their fins.

Yao and Ye left the hotel Friday with two luggage carts full of presents. Among them was a crystal warrior figurine from Wang Zhizhi, the first Chinese in the NBA and now a player in China's professional league and on the national team.

"I hope he will be fierce like a warrior during next year's Beijing Olympics," Wang told the Beijing Morning Post.

Yao and his wife returned to Shanghai on Friday and will leave in the next couple of days to honeymoon in Europe.

Someone tell me why Yao looks like an action figure in this picture? And I really hope he didn't get married in a pair of Reeboks! Fucking hypebeast...

BRING THE HATE!

Sportsline not showing any love either!

Bonds hits 756!

He's done it folks! Minutes before the clock struck Midnight here in New York City, Barry Lamar Bonds hit his 756th career homerun, breaking the prestigious record held by baseball great "Hammer" Hank Aaron.

How do I feel about it? Disgusted. Call me disrespectful. Blame it on my hater-like traits. It's something that I'm known notoriously for. I've admitted, time and time again. I am a hater. But always with good reason though. (Most of the time)

A record, rich with pride and history tainted with uncertainty and scandal. It could have been any other player who broke the record. I would of given them the same amount of props, and their share of respect. Just do it fairly.

Bonds supporters would say:
"Stop fucking hating! He never tested positive for steroids."
Your boy tested positive for amphetamines last season. The Giants slugger claimed to have taken the cream unknowingly of its effects. Really Barry? You didn't feel the need to question your trainer when you saw yourself getting unusually swole for a man your age? Unknowingly huh? Fuck that, you chose to ignore what the clear cream was that his trainers were rubbing you down with. We're not as stupid as you think.

Furthermore, the pre-recorded statement by Hank Aaron was nonetheless a classy gesture, from a classy individual. I'll admit that I was annoyed when I heard they were going to delay the game further, for a message from a "special individual." If anything, I'd like to give congrats to Hank Aaron, for having to see his record be unfairly taken away from and not throwing a bitch-fit.



By the way, I had the television tuned in live. At the same time, Brian had sent me a video on AIM, prompting me to press the mute button on my remote. By the time the video concluded, I turn my head to the t.v., and see a flashing IM indicator on my screen. "bonds homered."
"jus now."

Fucking owned? Wow, I missed a piece of history for this!



Thanks Brian.

Sweeeeeeeeet!
