Elimination then Consolidation

I'm not talking about journal entries, but rather my systematic method of reaching my goal of under 100 by the end of 2010.  And I'm almost there!  I no longer became a shoe enthusiast - rather, I became a shoe whoreder [whore hoarder haha].  And you know what?  I don't miss any of these kicks I got rid of.  I primarily sold them, bestowed them to siblings, or just donated some unwearable ones.  I peaked at almost 200 at one time - so that's almost half of my kicks gone!  How come no one told me I only have two feet??  So it took 3 phases over 2 years, and right now I'm hovering around 100 since I did add a select few over the past several months.

I'm not sure if I could get much lower though.  There are some that are sentimental, some permanently deadstock and some permanently beaters.  I just gotta learn how to let go.  However, I'm thinking of doing the In-N-Out method.  If a pair comes in, that means a pair would have to come out - animal style.  Maybe down to 75 by the end of 2011??  Hmmph.

"X" marks the ones that have found new homes.  Remember these pics? haha

Death of a Sneakerhead




Confession time guys.  ___ and I have joined forces like Voltron to make our own Tumblr page.  Inspired by Ty and Nacho, this page showcases our pick-ups and sartorial conundrums and essentially anything else related to gear.  Honestly I've been blogging here for a second, hence the crickets on this page.  Like a battered wife and/or a Warriors fan [they get treated the same anyway], I'm still loyal to Blogger.  Tumblr is dope, so follow us!

Need a Mint Alert - Gotta Stay Fresh to Death


Mwhaha if only Mint knew what my shoe spending habits were before I started using their software.  And while December is typically a cheap month for golf, golfers typically make up for it by purchasing items off-season.  At least that's my justification for me so I could sleep at night.

Seriously though, I might return a pair after seeing that.  And that's why we have alerts.

My 2K10 Holiday Wish List - Make it Happen

Hello Blog.  Since I had some down time for the past 3 months, I figured it would be a good time to update this piece before I forgot my password again.  Although my postings have been few and far between – one entry is for certain – no, not an entry about death and taxes but rather my 4th annual Holiday wishlist of things that I'm not gonna get!  Check here for last years, and I still didn't get a PS3 readers.  I guess my tastes haven’t really changed over the years – I usually want tech gear, golf gear, gear gear, and a random pair of kicks – they’ve more so evolved as I get older.  But just because you age doesn’t necessarily mean you’re more sophisticated, so I'm not trying to front.


Anyway, this list is in no particular order, just when it came to mind.

Nike Wool Destroyer Jacket
I could've asked for the Leather Version, but this is only $175 vs. $340!  That's almost half for the math-impaired.  I like how the blue zipper sets it off, and I don't like how the zipper is blue.  I am a walking oxymoron.  But I love the constrasting charcoal arms and black body.  Plus it doesn't even look like a Nike jacket.  [But that leads to the question - would I still want it if I wasn't the Swoosh? lol]  Can't wait til this hits the outlets!




Polo Richmond Quilted Jacket
But in green and not navy!  I repeat Green!  Why would I want a jacket that looks like it's inside out?  Because all my other coats already look normal duh.  I like the textured look, brass buttons and corduroy collar.  I actually tried this on at the Polo store downstairs, and frowned when my Polo gift card was only $20 and not $200.  I mean I couldn't even get socks with a $20 GC to Polo?  Why even bother having that amount in this denomination?  That would probably cover the tax portion of this jacket haha.



Dyson Tower Fan
Why the heck do I want this?  Simply because it's cool looking.  Yall buy Dyson products that suck, while I could get a Dyson that blows.  And what words are both antonyms and synonyms?  Suck and Blow.  "That sucks" and "that blows" can mean the same thing.  Can you think of another set of words with those characteristics?  Anyway, this thing is bladeless!  And if you drop the "l"s from 'bladeless,' it almost resembles 'badass!'  How awesome is that.     





Nike Stab Dave Whites
The first sneakerhead probably said "once a sneakerhead, always a sneakerhead." While true that Reegsta bought more desert boots than sneaks in the past year, it doesn't mean his love for kicks is any lesser than it once was.  Bobbito is one of the most revered shoeheads ever, and dude has less than 10 pairs of kicks.  I want these in a sz 10.  And there's only 400 of these out there released only in one store in the UK, so act quick!



Bedding Stuff
Confessions - I only have one set of lavender sheets with a bleach stain on it.  Well, at least I hope it's a bleach stain.  I have blue walls, a silver bed frame, and a tan duvet - so I guess any color would match my setup.  I think I just picked this Barney Stinson inspired image to match the kicks above.  I could use a QUEEN SIZE sheet set, or new pillows, or both!  I really need new pillows - the ones I currently own have more than seen their useful life.  They've probably seen their second life too. 




Callaway Golf uPro GPS
I know I asked for one last year, but it was a SkyCaddie and that recurring fee kinda scared me away.  I think the Cally is only a one-time fee.  One-time!  Plus this looks sleeker, is H20-Proof [no Ras Kass], and is consensusly the better device.  I know this isn't gonna make me a better golfer, but at least it would be a welcome distraction.  I did get a new driver recently, so I want to measure them bad boys now!




Nike Extreme Element Carry Bag
Okay promise this is my last Nike item I'll put on the list, but this is probably the coolest bag I've ever seen.  If the neon Air Max 95 was a bag, it would be this.  This retails for $160 and I actually found one for a good deal that I might just pull the trigger on.  I know my golf buddies would be relieved.  Although I walk like once every 5 rounds, but my current carry-bag is like 14 years old seriously.  I think I have a coupon book from 1997 in there.  Luckily no old banana though.




J. Lindeberg Golf Jacket

If you don't know me and you're just basing my personality on the imagery of this items,  you might think I'm very monochrome.  Quite the opposite! [No, not stereochrome hahaha.]  I just have mad pastelly crap and need some muted stuff to balance that out.  With that said, this jacket is pretty fresh.  I saw it at Golfsmith and scoffed at the $250 retail, but luckily for you, I found it at Zappos for almost half-off!  Extra Medium please.





Tag Heuer Carbon Fiber Strap
For the low price of $375, I could remove the bracelet from my current piece and add this one on!  Hope it looks as dope as I'm envisioning it.  But it's carbon fiber, which can match my engine, my driver, and some kicks that I have.  Hypebeasts and carbon fiber go together like kare kare and bagoong.  For that price it's probably bulletproof too, or maybe I'm confusing that with a Kevlar strap.  You know, for all thhose times I explore the hood.  I do live in the East Bay afterall. 


Filson Messenger Bag
I easily could've put a LV Damier Graphite bag here, but to stray away from the black and gray color schemes, I wanted to put something realistic in case Kris Kringle[s] reads this!  Plus I think any dude with a Louis is questionable, unless you're Pharrell, and you can't rock that bag with a Land's End vest you heard.  Anyway this is StyleBlogger approved, looks versatile and definitely isn't a man purse.  It could hold a laptop that has mega-gigabytes son!


Okay I think that's it for now.  So think of me when you finalize your Christmas shopping!

Confessions of a Sneakerhead, 2009 version

Yes I'm still a shoehead, even though this is the first new pair I copped in fiscal year 2009. So Kram and I met up during lunch, strolled over to NTSF and bought our 10.5s. It felt like I was in HS getting the same pair as a friend haha. But I don't care, I wanted these ever since the final sample pics were released. Plus I didn't want to relive the fiasco of the original Bacons, where I strolled into Hazard Shoes on Burlingame Ave sometime in 2003 and had the shoes on my feets. At last second I didn't want to pay the $90 for some pink based kicks. Then if I listened to myself in 2005 when I wanted some pink kicks, I would've paid around $150-$200. If you click on the link, you'll see X's - but they were the bacons, the linens and the Dunkles. Now sellers are charging up to $600 for a pair. Don't they know we're in a recession??!

Anyway fast forward to 2009, and I'm not a fan of hybrid kicks or secondary collaborations, of which these both are. But these resonated with Reeg, and despite the inflated price tag of $120, I got them. As I was lacing them up moments ago, it woke up the [hype]beast in me. So welcome Air Max 90 Current Huarache PR to the fam. One day I'll have them OG bacons to join you though.

eBay Inbox, volume Summer of '09

Life is like a box of eBay emails, you never know what to expect. So here is another edition of my crazy bidders and their comments/questions/inquiries:

Dear reegsta,

i get paid on frii can u hold em till then

- 5719sarah

Dear reegsta,

it must have been a mix up i get paid this fri im sorry lol

- 5719sarah


Hey Sarah, it's not that funny. Show me the $$! It's been like 2 weeks since the auction ended. Grrrr.

Dear reegsta,

can u call me asap at 215 668 xxxx my name is brian cuz i wanna by the case only

- acura7885


Hey Mr. Integra, I'm not gonna call you ASAP just because you want an accessory! Sheesh.

Dear reegsta,

Hey i was wondering if you can do me a favour and cancel my bid if bidding get over $145 i do relize i put my maximum bid at 165 but I don't really want to pay that but if you decide you dont want to cancel my bid when it reaches $145 that is no problem to me i will still pay you what I owe you.

- markjk1441


Yo Mark, please use a period! and I read that like 5x and still am unsure what you're requesting. And you shouldn't tell the seller what your max bid is. *Shakes head*.

Dear reegsta,

Hey hows it going ? First id like to say you have some great J's and I was looking and you sell some straight up solid sneaks. The reason im emailing you is i am (or was) a collector for a few years and i have decided to sell whats left of my collection- I was hoping you could tell me have you been getting fair prices for your J's ? I am a size 12 so im not sure if thats a good selling size or not but I see you have much experience- Thanks David

- shipley954


Yo Shipley, I'm not auctioning off consultations. JP! I actually gave him a legit response. Game recognize game.

Dear reegsta,

Hi Good Morning Reegan,

Sorry for the late reply (again, lol) don't worry just been mad busy at the hospital, too much drama going on. But anyway, will e-mail you FULLY detailing everything including payment schedules etc later this week etc...

Thanks.

(Please don't think that just because I don't commuicate regularly, that we're OFF for the deal... it's not like that at all.... it's just that some weeks ARE real busy for me being a hospital warden on night shifts!)

Anyway, will touch down with you over the weekend again!

:o)
- nike-air-max-95_in_london

Dear reegsta,

I'll happily chuck-on an extra 100 buck so that you receive 400 dollars for the sneaks when I come to pay in about a month or two (well, actually, it'll be 450 including the shipping!).

What do you say? Are you down with that?

You ain't NEVER gonna get some-one paying you even 275 bucks, LET ALONE the crazy sky-high 450 i'm offering you. And that's ACTUALLY true.

It's the time dude... nothing else, just TIME.

It all depends on just how ''desperate'' you are for the cash, because if you can hold-on for until, say, August/Sept/Oct, then that's kool, i'll hit you up for the 450 via PayPal at that time in the future, but if you need the cash RIGHT NOW (and at the moment, I'm seriously out of a dime!) then you're gonna get people bidding for prices MUCH lower than even just 180/200 bucks which is pathetic given the rarity of these 1998 Desert Red's.

Are you ok to work with me on this please buddy?

Please let me know, thanks.

any questions?? ask away!!

:o)
- nike-air-max-95_in_london

Dear reegsta,

Yo Regan 'sup, thanks for your message a couple of days ago asking me to advise you on the payment situation for these 95's - sorry that it's taken me slightly longer than normal to respond back, ut I've been kinda busy and this is the one of the only chances today to actually just sit down for a sec to update you on what's goin' on...

To cut a long story short (I can FULLY explain my financial and personal circumstances in a seperate e-mail after this one if you REALLY want me to....?) I'm abit strapped for cash at the moment (what with the credit crunch and recession etc etc, it's hitting us very hard over here in London), so very politely ask you for a substantial payment time extension to come up with the money for these Desert Red's.

I mean, you know, when I say ''substantial'' i DO mean exactly that... kinda like, about a month or two.

Yeah,I know that might sound kinda crazy to you, but as s gesture of goodwill and as a kinda-like, you know, ''token of my appreciation''

- nike-air-max-95_in_london


Wow. This is probably the longest drawn out eBay message I've seen. I might feel sorry for your HS English teacher. Anyway he sounds legit and I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt, considering he has AIR-MAX-95 in his username and appreciates the rarity of the shoes he's bought. And if he's throwing on another c-note on there, then consider them reserved.

Dear reegsta,

hey there friend

i love those shoes.how much you want for them to buy them right now?i give you 126$

- blakkheim25


Lol the funny thing is the current bid was at $125. and he's offering a dollar more. wow hold the presses. and mentioning we're friends won't get you a discount!

Dear reegsta,

Yo! Whats up man... I purchased some kicks from you in the past. You have some sweet listings but a little close to the first for me. Do you plan to relist if they dont sell? Sorry to see a savvy collector out the game... I feel alone in my shoe game, all the old school is getting out.

- dauniqueone

Dear reegsta,

Hey Home skillet! I thought these sold? I was going to bid when I mailed you but did not want you waiting for a week to get paid! I am watching some items now I dont know what to do.

- dauniqueone


Oh man I think I'd prefer friend moreso than "home skillet". Now I'ma a frying pan…yay. See, these dudes keep searching for advice. I think this dude just needs a hug.

Dear reegsta,

Hey, why are so many of your shoes in 10.5 and where
do you ship from I would like to buy two pairs.

- neazy2


Oh Neazy I don't know…maybe because that's the size I wear?! That's like asking why does Polo only sell Polo clothes.

Dear reegsta,

Yah thanks that'll workout. shoot me your email address. Again Im sorry moneys a little tight right now.

- djes11_916


This dude bid $240 for some kicks but backed out. You should've never bid on them if you don't have the loot! It worked out though, since I actually sold them higher the 2nd time around.

Dear reegsta,

Please cal me about your set of Pings. I have a few questions but I am ver interestd in buying them. I am a very honest and outgoing person and look forward to your call thank you. Ross Blankenship

- rossb03569f1

I'm glad your outgoing Ross. But this isn't a match.com auction, it's an eBay one! And he low-balled me, so I eventually sold it to the highest bidder.

Dear reegsta,

Hello there Regan and hope all is well.

I already sent my payment. Kindly double box the shoes when you ship it out usps express mail. May I also request that it be declared as GIFT and valued at only $30 so I won't have to deal with exorbitant custom duties and taxes. I actually know the customs people in my city and since my uncle works as a customs police, they told me to have it declared that way so they won't have to charge me the taxes but only the minimum $20 tax.

Thanks a lot and looking forward to getting the tracking number. Have a nice day

- saviourfriendjesus


A guy with this username couldn't have been a fraud. He was based in the PI and I felt bad [for like 2 seconds] for selling a $300 pair of kicks over there. But how come every Filipino is connected to someone official? Like a mayor or in this case a post master.

Dear reegsta,

gibt es denn schuh auch in gr. 43,5 ?

- sweet_tlik_choclate


Ummmm yeah. I still don't know what that means.

Another Peep into my eBay Inbox

Man, and I thought I was particular with my threads! Check this one out:

Dear reegsta,

Hi there, sorry for the delay. I've just sent you my payment for the brand new Pac Man Tee via Paypal. I know you have quite a few of these tees, could you please pick the one with the PERFECT quality (no craftmanship defects, good quality print, and graphic is centered, not off the the side, etc.)? PLEASE!! My sincere apology for my pickyness. I really like this tee and want to have the PERFECT one. Thank you very very much for your kindness and sorry for the troubles. Much appreciated!!!

- 501boy


This is in reference to those Pacman shirts that I've been selling. Okay let me get this straight, homie is asking for the perfect mass-produced shirt that was made in China by some pre-teens. Does he want Manny's autograph too? Is he gonna take a measuring tape out and calculate how centered the logo is? Is he gonna test the pigmentation of the various colors? Does he not realize that it's just a screen-printed tee that probably cost $3 to make? If that? Shouldn't he just be happy the sleeves are the same length and the words are spelled correctly? It's not like he bought an Armani piece and is getting an Alfani item instead. But I'll appease him, and give him the shirt that has the gold star next to the "inspected by" sticker hahaha.

Go Pacman!

Here is another curious email I received:

Dear reegsta,

what's up? a friend of mine is doing a blog on bo's and he wanted a couple of pics and pple to talk about their love for his kicks. you came to mind when he asked me if I knew any other bo jackson fans. if your down you can contact him at sneakraddict@gmail.com

- bknowbles


I was like "how do you know I'ma Bo fan?" when I am, but I don't really express it. He came back with:

Dear reegsta,

yeah i always watch different sellers items that ive saved and i see you have alot of heat specially bo's. great vintage by the way so if your interested hit him up at sneakraddicts@gmail.com his name is jaya. thanks

- bknowbles


Apparently what I sell impacts what people's perceptions are of me! Whew good thing I didn't get caught up selling used girl's panties or something, otherwise the Catch a Predator dude would've been on my tail! But anyway I should just forward my Ploomy passion piece about kicks and call it a day. I dunno though, each new time I read that I wish I wrote it differently. Oh well.

**Shakes Head**

Puts my people to shame. *shakes dome*
Puts my city to shame. *shakes brain*
Puts my passion to shame. *shakes noggin*

Damn why can't people line up be all civilized? And what's even funny is that these chicks are fighting for kicks they don't even fit. Dumb broads. I wish I could put on a pair of the shoes they're waiting in line for and give these people involved a swift roundhouse Ryu-style kick [figuratively speaking of course].



For the record, I've never ever ever lined-up overnight [or hella early in the morning] for any kicks. Shoot, the longest line I waited was when I got some Tiffany Dunks, but there were like 11 people in front of me [the store received 12 total pairs], and I waited like 15 minutes total mwahaha.

I had a revelation once. I was actually in line around 7a for the first DMP release. I looked around and said that I was too old for this, and proceeded to go home. I smacked myself and said "reeg - you're waiting in line for kicks you ALREADY have better versions of." Then reeg said "you're right" and proceeded to go back to bed haha.

Another CoaSH edition, volume VI

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't bought a pair of Jordans since 2006. Decemeber 2006, but still 2006. So that is almost 2 full years. Essentially every Jordan I wanted was part of a pack, and I refused to purchase a 2-pack of shoes when I had no desire for the second pair. The only article of clothing that should be bought in packs are undergarments! Plus these packs retail for $310 so that is just rediculous. I don't know where these kids can afford to wait in line and drop over 3 bills on a pack of kicks. Wait. I did that before [albeit once] but that was in a healthy economy lol.

Let me pre-preface this again by saying back in 2004 [or maybe 2005], I entered my sister in the first ever Sole Collector shoe exhibition, held at NTSF. She won an award for Rarest Jordan, which was a pair of original Carmine Air Jordan VIs. I made a mental note to myself that if I get the chance to cop I would.

Fast forward to 2008, and of course the Carmines are being retroed. However they are part of a pack, and no one wants the XVII's that they are paired with. So its a semi-easy pass. With kicks you win some, you lose some, and I was just gonna chalk the L. Last week eBay forwards me a coupon for 40% a single purchase [10% instant and 30% rebate] and I see a seller with just the Carmines, B-grades though. He got a few pairs, but for some reason he has different prices ranging from $200-$250, luckily with my 10.5s on the low-end. And free shipping. So I thought about it for roughly .003 milli-seconds before hitting the buy-it-now button.

So I received them this weekend and did my usually inspection...they're listed as B-grades but they're more like B+grades. Manolo's Mano-no's I can't tell. [they're definitely authentic though.] $120 is not a steal but it's definitely a deal, and most definitely better than the $310+tax on release day. So woo-hoo, another pair of kicks!

So you didn't think I would sell 50 pairs without getting one back would you? Sneakerheads don't retire, we just slow down.

The Prince has his [Shoe] Palace

How come no one told me a Nike Store was opening in my hood? Everytime I go to that mall, I'm like this place would be comprehensive if it only had a athletic footwear store. I even entertained the thought of opening a shop there. Shoot if they can sell hella cupcakes there then I can push kicks, no Lupe's Kick Push.

They're gonna have a concept section where you can create your own IDs. I think its time for a Prince of the Ville exclusive.

Well I'm just glad its just not a Nike Women's Store like the one they have in Paly. Its straight walking distance from the crib FTW! Howeve, E-ville's 8.75% tax rate is FTL.

If any RC'ers want to do a Sunday run and get a free gift and a chance to win a stack [aka $1000] worth of gear, holler back! OMG and there is also going to be a Running Man competition, word to Arnold. What other elements can you ask for?

Nike Store - Bay Street 411

To All My One or Zero Legged People

Yo for real, if I was like Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, then I would be all over these. Man prosthetics have come a long way...I think of the one in Deuce Bigelow. But those would be Chuck Taylors and these are like the latest Jordans. Halloween is right around the corner, so I call dibs on the Prosthetic Man!





I wonder if you could NikeID then with built in turbo boosters and colors. So when you say "I'm black from the waist down" then it would be really true! My vert and overall speed would benefit tremendously too. Hmmm...

I Should've Never Stopped Buying Kicks

When I turned 25 or something, I told myself I should put my skrilla to better use than just buying kicks. I wanted to get my grown man on, so I tried to be better with my fundage and use my money to build up my assets so I can one day own a place and live off interest. [<--- ultimate dream there!]

So when I turned 27 I got my place, which is probably is about 8% less now than what I paid for it haha. I'm not tripping too hard because I plan to have it for a minute, and if I ever rent it out I think the market price for rent can equal a mortgage payment. But haven't really factored in the HOA fees though. Hmmm...well that won't happen for awhile anyway.

So I increased my 401K contributions and maxed out my ROTH IRA since I became a client of Ed's, but I think all those gains these past 4 years were washed away, and I must be in the red YTD. I'm just too scared to check, even though this money won't be touched for like 30 years anyway.

And I tried to pick a few ETFs and other investment vehicles, and i actually checked that portfolio recently in case I needed some of those funds, but it was down 30% overall so I didn't want to take the L.

But what I do know are kicks, and I swear my shoefolio probably increased by 200% conservatively over the same time frame. A bunch of my auctions ended the other day and I'm like damn, I should've just invested in Nikes! Man and these are the ones I don't even like that much. Of course I thought otherwise because that sounds dumb.

I mean I feel bad selling a pair of kicks for $175 that I bought for $39.99 from the Outlet. Haha sike. I just debate if I should leave that sale tag on there so the buyer feels worse mwauhahahaha.

But for real, if I only spent like $5K in kicks specifically to sell back in 2003 and 2004, before I turned 25, my car could've been paid for in full!

Well I know that property/retirement stuff is still more beneficial for the long-term, but kicks wouldn't be a bad short-term investment nowadays. I mean people are always gonna have feet.

I Gotta Hold On, Hold On To My Receipt

It's kinda hard sayin this sh!t to ya face
So I do it over snares and bass
Music take me away


That is probably my fav song off the Carter II, but this isn't really about Wayne. Yall know I'm purging my kicks, and I had a pair of Air Force Is that I bought at Niketown like over 2 years ago. They didn't appreciate like some others so I said screw it, let me just return them. So luckily I'm pretty organized when it comes to my receipts, and I was able to locate it haha.

During lunch I just returned a pair of kicks that I didn't want anymore, and I just thought it was pretty cool that I can wait so long to return them for for value hehehe.

Lesson learned: invest $5 in a receipt organizer since it'll totally help you when you don't expect it.

A Few thoughts Roaming in my Dome on a Friday Afternoon

- How come every time I see Mike Phelps there is either a Lil Wayne reference or Lil Wayne himself? Do you think they’re becoming BFFs? And for that SNL commercial Wayne had to be standing on like the NYC Yellow Pages or something, because I think I’m even taller than dude. Hmmm I wonder if Phelps handlers would’ve preferred him listening to the Jonas Brothers or something.

- Where did all these new age white chicks with the badonkadonks [sp?] come from? Not at Kim K's level, but then again no one really is. Walking around downtown on a nice day has its benefits, although today isn't one of them.

- Are floods back in or something? How come when I see dudes walk, I can see their socks? I mean when I get my pants tailored, I always request a slight break, but it seems like some dudes rock some extra long capris.

- So I'm playing golf tomorrow with my brother and his friends, who are single digit handicappers. Wait my brother isn't, since I'm alpha Tacorda golfer, but he'll get me once in awhile. So there's a chance I'ma get the copper medal in that foursome!

- I'm rocking a long sleeve polo shirt today instead of my usual button-up [or button-down] garb. Apparently its acceptable per HR, but I still try to only wear in on Fridays.

- Why are pea-coats for dudes only in either Black or Navy? And they look similar from afar? If I ever could find a short Brown one, I'd be all over it.

- How come I feel mad gross and lazy when its been 6 days since I've done anything physical activity? Before I used to feel like this after 6 weeks hahaha. Maybe I'll hit the gym tonight.

- How come it took me 3 days to put sheets on my bed? Okay granted the first night I just fell asleep on my sofa, but the next couple I just laid on my blanket and wrapped myself up like a lumpia. I got sheets on now ladies!

- 1 pair down, 49 more to go! Don't ask for any hooks unless you can get me a Navi system or a laptop or if I like you hahaha. So this is what I've been doing the past couple nights as these are the kicks I don't care about or have doubles of. Actually I had to pull a few back since I couldn't part with them. I mean I'm tryna pillage people initially so we'll see what the marketplace dictates. But at least I don't have Flight Club prices.

- Man its addictive selling stuff, so I can't blame those drug dealers lol. Naw jp, but simplifying your life starts in the closet. I wonder if my used Jordan shirts with yellow pits stains can fetch anything too. Its a free-for-all, but not really free.

- Hmmm I wonder if my dad would get upset if I sell my old golf set, since I don't think I would ever use it again. And Pings hold value [well, except Nick's] so I could get up to $400 for that set. I'll ask him, but he'll probably ask for the money since he gave them to me like 10 years ago haha.

- Aight 5K!

Finally I get a shoe named after me! Haha just playin', but my brother passed this along to me. Ummm not that funny but kinda silly. I'm just glad its Lacoste and not Reebok or something whew!
