Uptown please.

Today is the first day I begin work for the new year. The bluest of all Monday. My partner left. My superior as usual, would push all the job to me. The same usual wicked plan, he left e-mails of what to do before I even got my ass back to work -- which he could have done when I was not around. It's like pre-meditated murder.


For those who were enjoying the cruise during the school holidays and festive season, today would be hell for drivers. This morning before there was even sunrise, traffic congestions were everywhere. I wonder how it would be for people who move out after the sunrise.


Monday blues were never the same again.


Last night, however, we bought an interesting documentary. A year old documentary which was about sneakers. The sneaker craze. Adidas to New Balance. From retro spec to custom cross breed. From the days of Roc Steady Crew and Cold Crush Brothers to the Pharell. From the almighty All White Uptown (Uptown were NYC slang for Air Force One) to the exclusive 150 pairs of NYC Pigeon Dunks.


Some of you might have known how crazy Tiffany Dunks was first on sale. People line up before the store was even open. NYC Pigeon Dunks set the peak. People line up 4 days and slept in front of the Reed Space, and NYPD has to guard and clear the riot before the grill was even pulled up on the store. Hijackers and thugs were waiting at every corner with baseball bats, machete and knife just to rob the exclusive 150 persons.


And some lucky bastards like Damon Dash from Rocafella Records, who have a Nike room and an Adidas room with hundred pair of sneakers. Some of it were never worn before. For some of you who might know this, Damon Dash has quite a disgusting habit. He only wear things once.


Many rap artist were interviewed. The best duo was Grandmaster Caz and JDL from Cold Crush Brothers. One of the pioneers who drop rhyme while Roc Steady Crew dance to their beat. They are funny. Period. Those two motherfuckers are entertaining.


I could say it would be a must DVD collection for all sneakers collector. Not that I am one.


Though I am still trying to get an affordable White with Black swoosh Air Force One, where I saw a second hand still costing RM600.


The fuck?
