A dime bag for my thoughts...: July 2011

J2: Tee-Off

This weekend, we had the first ever Spartans Hockey Golf Tournament. 20 players, friends and guests were invited to play a relaxing and drunken 18-holes at Boulder Creek Golf Course in Langdon, AB. Not only was it an excellent turn-out, but we had a good time.

NikeTalk: WDYWT? vol. "I love the 90s"

I just wanted to wear all Nike Air Max 90s
last week, so I laced up a few. I love these.
Safari's are probably the most comfortable pair.
Enjoi.

J2: Random Pics vol. Concrete Jungle or Paradise?

I found myself browsing through my computer, cleaning up all the crap that filled up my hard drive this passed year, and I noticed I have quite a few pictures I've taken.

They aren't awesome by any means, but they're just snaps that have absolutely no meaning to them and considered as random. There will be no back story or background information regarding most of them, but I thought I'd post at least 1 or 2 random images a week.

NikeTalk: WDYWT? vol. Late Pass

Good evening! This is actually last week's WDYWT?

It's been a busy week so I haven't gotten a chance

to post these. It's a late pass, but whatever.

Enjoi.

Gilbert Arenas: Greatest PLANKER Ever!

Gilbert Arenas & Dwight Howard

In light of G's stint with his controversial Twitter comments regarding his blind date (which was funny by the way), Arenas takes planking to a whole new level, again, which is quite hilarious.

Jerry Seinfeld's Sneakers

Jerry Seinfeld - writer, actor, comedian...Nike head? Yessir, Jerry Seinfeld is quite the unique Nike head. While sneaker celebrities like Greg Street, Wale and Fat Joe collect and wore special edition Jordans, Dunk SBs, Foamposites and regular 'hypebeast' heat, Jerry Seinfeld was OG. Rocking the 'under-the-radar' gems that true Nike heads fiend for. Nike Trainers, OG Jordans, and Nike Runners were on his feet on the daily during numerous filmings of Seinfeld. Complex Magazine was nice enough to compile a list of his wearings. Here are some of my favorites:

NikeTalk: WDYWT? vol Weekly Recap 5

Another WDYWT? recap, week 5.

Didn't wear much this week, recycled a few as well.

J2: People I Find Extremely Annoying

Every so often, a list like this will show up on my blog. Some of the things I write in here are heavily influenced by the dumb things I notice every day but never, ever point out in real life. I devote a small portion of my time into compiling a useless list and then posting it when it is good enough to share.

A couple of these are inspired by the little facts of life that my favorite comedians point out, which I find very funny. And it's never positive by the way, it's always stuff like the tiniest things that are devastating or socially awkward moments. In light of that, it's interesting to share because YOU experience the same (in most cases). So again, in no specific order:

J2: Hiking in Grassi Lakes

Took a hike with the family to Grassi Lakes this past Sunday. It rained, but I was able to snap a few while I was up there. It's nice to get out and get some exercise. This was one of the better hiking trails, in a sense that we actually did some 'hiking' through rocks, boulders and steep climbs. There was even a rock slide that rained on all of us - dangerous stuff. Probably the only time in my life where I ran to a nearby cave for cover. But anyway, enjoy.

YouTube: Thousand Pounds Fight Team - "Femme Fatale" Ultra Combos

I am very impressed by the Thousand Pounds Fight Team and their work. I love the old school style choreography, video game effects and sounds and overall production. It's always satisfying to see amateur film teams create something like these with just a Canon 7D, a computer and hard work. These videos are kind of old, but I ran into them again, and they never fail to amaze me every time.
