Today’s Headline: “C-Murder Cannot Afford Appeal For Murder Case”

For over a decade, I watched my grandfather & then my father spend incessantly on my aunt Jean, now the former junkie. Court costs. Giving her money for “food” (you know where that went). Paying her rent. Paying in pain when they would hear of the latest stunt she’d pulled in...

Puma x UBIQ 700 Collection

Already stated that I’m not a fan of Puma’s. And while I’m not an Eagles fan, I share a soft spot in my heart for the team that gave us Randall, Reggie and, more recently, took in Mike Vick. Also, I’ve always loved how diehard & notorious Philly’s fans are. No fair-weather...

“Ughh, Nice Watch!” - Black Rolex Edition

“Dear God, please let Rolex come out with an all-black series. Not because I can afford them shits. Just because it would be criminal for them not to do it. Thanks.” That was me in like 1998 when my fascination with watches was really picking up.

“What Does Not Kill Me Makes Me Stronger…”

No closet can have too many blue oxford shirts. After that, the color spectrum branches out particular to the wearer, but gray would be another dominant color, or at least that’s how it plays out in my closet. STPL updates some of the basics with their Winter line, including this simple shirt...

Nike Trainer 1 Mid: Bo Knows

While the Trainer SC’s are getting a lot of attention (specifically the 34’s), these 2009 Trainer 1 Mid’s have my eye. Having seen the 34’s and knowing that leather is paper-thin, I’ll go with these 2009’s for durability & comfort.
