kill the noise .....!!

ok so I'm tied of the media giving way too much coverage to
celeberties that are drinking and drugging their lives away. if amy
winehouse wants to get wastes who gives a damn. she a grown woman.
what about all the kids that get abused by alcoholic dads? where's the
CNN special on that. if lil Wayne wants to sip liquid codiene and
promethezene with sprite , let him do him. he's smart enough to make
his own decisions. just because he is famous that makes his bout with
substance abuse that much more important than the thousands of
families that are torn apart by the same issues . I'm all for
educating people about the harms if alcholisn and drug abuse . but
concern should be equal across the board. I just hate it when the
media only realizes something is a problem when a celebrity is involved.

p.s. lindsay lohan, if you are reading, hang with me and you ski for
free.

Ras Kass- Nature of the threat



_this is a song that i tell a lot of people that they should check out. but they don't. so here is your chance to give it a listen without having to do anything. its basically a time line of human history in 7 minutes. he exposes various truths throughout history. im not sure how true these truths are. but they are definitely food for thought if anything.

Mike's Soft Lemonade.......!

_why is mikes hard lemonade marketed toward men, when only women drink it? there is nothing "hard" about lemonade. I don't care how many comercials you make with slamming glasses , deep voiced narrators, and hot chicks. no man with any dignity or taste buds is going to buy that. so quit frontin and market to underaged females, because they keep you in business.

Finally... Its done.....!!!.......sorta

_FrankenBike is Alive!



About a month in a half ago i decided to start a fixie project. for those not in the know click here. I purchased an old Schwinn Caliente frame off craigslist and decided to strip and paint it. i decided to use a chemical stripper to get the paint off. got most of it but still had to sand it down to make it smooth. 2 days of hard sanding well spend. the painting process went well. had some trouble with the clearcoat. it kept bubbling because i wasnt cleaning it thouroughly. so i had to sand it down on those parts and paint it again. i bought a budget wheel set of ebay. ran in to some problems with the front wheel so i had to get a whole new wheel for the front. then because i got a new wheel, i had to replace the tire and tube.(pain in the ass). so now i have the bike painted and wheels ready to go. I had the local bike shop install the chain, bottom bracket, and crankset. everything went good with that but i realized i didnt have the money for pedals and had to pick them up later. so i buy the pedals and they dont fit. i take them back and purchase another pair from the origial bike shop. i rushed home to put everything together and give my bike a test run. the first 30 mins is dope, then my pedal falls off. apparently i had no idea what i was doing. the pedals were on the wrong sides. long story short. i THINK i get one pedal in good but the crank arm is strippped. got it fixed at the bike shop. rode it home. the OTHER pedal comes off. Now i have to find time to make it to the bike shop with a busy work week. everyone told me i should just buy a bike, but thats too easy. All in all it was a fun yet expensive experience. The bike rides well and is mad fast.. i just need to get my pedal fixed and ill be on my way.

The Future is Now....???!?

_Nike Hyperdunk x Marty McFly


_Nike recently released a Hyperdunk shoe in the colorway that mimics the Marty Mcfly shoes from "Back to the Future II".

*ques video for the cinematically impared*



......I actually think they did a pretty good job. the shoe gives you that feel without looking bulky and 80s like the originals. There were something like 300 pairs of these produces. I like them but the hype train ran all over these.
