You’re Never Too Old For Ice Cream
Unfortunately I’ve been hooked on the Monopoly game at McDonald’s lately. Which means, my diet is lacking in many ways.

So Much To Say, So Little Time, Or Something
I have a disease. Dis-ease, to the fullest extent. That dis-ease is mental. From poetry to politics, sports to sneakers, writing has always been the cure for that disease for as long as I can remember.

Making of the Crooked Tongues x New Balance 1500
I haven’t looked forward to a sneaker release like this in a very long time. Black and Orange New Balance 1500. The only thing that might be higher up on my dream list would be an Orange and Black Air Jordan 4. Other than that, I can’t think of anything. Favorite colorway on a top … Read more
