SHOW IDEEZ

I received 2 more ID's this week. Thursday I received the black & purple team color pair & Friday I got the Antique pair. Some people dont understand the concept of NikeId. Thats why they don't get why people pay $300 for plain colorways. The whole point is make what you like because its for you.

After the success of last year’s sneaker documentary “Just for Kicks”, Sean “Ope” Williams, also known to the sneaker world as “Paper Chasr” was inspired. The 35 year old sneaker lover was inspired by what he saw and did not see in that ground breaking film. This caused him to begin laying down the plans for his own documentary titled “Know You Got Sole!” It’s a documentary that will touch on various topics within sneaker culture but addressed from a New York City perspective. “I was delighted by what I saw in Just for Kicks, but I got motivated to do my film by what I didn’t see in it as well”, says Paper Chasr. “I also don’t believe that things almost all people across the world partake in should be covered from a celebrity point of view”, he added. “Know You Got Sole!” will address such topics as the struggle for guys who wear size 13 and up to get fresh kicks, the views of female sneaker collectors, and an interesting discussion about how and why people lace their sneakers the way they do. These topics are among 3 or 4 others that will feature a well rounded opinion of sneaker culture from the mouths of the everyday New Yorkers who represent it with no apologies religiously.

Just like sneaker hype,many people were caught up in the IPHONE hype. Unless you live in some very small country, you should know that the IPHONE is Apple's first product in the cellular phone business. partnered with AT&T/Cingular, the IPHONE is basically a touchscreen ipod that can make calls. Of course like anything hyped, people camped outside the Apple stores to get the latest cool gadget. Not many people did research on the phone they just want it to say that they have it. Well I'm going to mention some of the cons of owning an IPHONE.

1. Non removeable battery. like an Ipod, the Iphone battery cannot be removed. If it dies while your outside, another battery cannot be put in. I actually have 2 batteries for my cellphone since I have a pocket pc, watch videos heavily, listening to music & stay on the net or instant messenger. Being able to have an extra battery is very helpful.

2. Cant send pictures to other cellphones. For $600, why cant I use the 2 megapixel camera to send a picture to my friends cellphone? The Iphone will only allow you to email pics so unless you know your friends cellphone email address, you wont be able to send that picture.

3. Cant cut, copy or paste text. Sorry guys who like to send the same myspace message to multiple females. You cant just copy & paste because the Iphone doesnt allow that. I thought this was a next generation phone. Hell i can copy, paste & upload to this blog from my 2 yr phone.

4. Cant record video. So here I have this pretty phone & i'm outside & something funny is happening or something worth recording to show to a friend later. Well I cant pull out the Iphone & record it. I guess it will have to be one of those moments where you had to have been there. For a phone that advertises YOUTUBE, it seems odd that I cant take a video & upload it to YOUTUBE. Oh well

5. Cant use music as ringtones. So all those songs stored on your 8gb Iphone & not one of them can be used as a ringtone. Thats old fashion. When someone elses Iphone goes off you have to check to see if its yours because chances are, someone has the same ringtone as you.

6. The Iphone doesnt use 3G capapabilities. The internet on the Iphone is the slowest out of all major cellphone carriers in the U.S. Sprint & Verizon are in the lead with very fast internet speed. T mobile's Sidekick 3 is even faster than the Iphone on the net. Try visiting your friends Myspace page that has a slide show on it, glittery background & other intense graphics. Your battery life will be draining fast while the page is loading slooooow. Think dial up compared to dsl. Oh and for everyone that says the Iphone has wi-fi...it does but of course you have to be in a hotspot.


7. No insurance on your phone. You better not break or lose your phone or there goes $600. How the hell are they not going to cover an Ipod/cellphone? Thats plain ol robbery. Well you can always get 3rd party insurance from someone else but dont you think your cellphone company should offer that?

8. No instant messenging. Even the sidekick can instant message & sprint & verizon pda's have 3rd party software that can be downloaded to have aim, yahoo, icq, msn etc on your phone.

9. No voice dialing. Thats why they show the pretty scrolling phonebook because they lack voice dialing. I can press a button on a blutooth headset & say Nike I.D & guess what the phone will start dialing. I like having choices, dont you?

10. Horrible plans. heres a look at the Iphones lowest plan.


They're robbing you without a gun.

O.k. I know a lot of people are excited about the Transformers movie. I myself was happy that the studio decided to make a live action film about one of my favorite childhood cartoons. I was especially happy they put tons of money into the film and hired George Lucas ILM (Industrial Lights & Magic) company for the special effects. With all that said, let me jump into the problems.


1st problem- Humans!!! This movie had way too many scenes where humans were the main characters & not the Transformers. The movie is called Transformers. I hoped that when humans were on the screen they were either running for their life (Godzilla) or being murdered by giant robots (War Of The Worlds). This was not the case at all. Not only did the humans play the most important role in this movie since a human saves the day but they had humans on screen with lines that were pointless.

2nd- Too much comedy!!! I heard more people laughing than clapping during this film. Every 15 min theres a comedy scene. Why??? I saw the animated movie in the theater & that movie had a much more serious tone then this movie. This movie was filled with dumb humor that took up scenes where there could have been transformers fighting instead. Anthony anderson being the funny computer hacker adding humor to an interrogation scene. Shia Labeouf's parents adding humor throughout the movie, even during the ending credits. John tutoro being the comical special agent with a wife beater on with a dumbass symbol for laughs....They even added comedy to bumblebee as soon as he steps into the movie. he decides to play Love songs according to what on Shia Leboufs mind while around Megan Fox. A little girl asking a giant robot if its the tooth fairy??? Give me a break.

3rd- (Spoiler Alert) The only black Autobot dies! Jazz gets ripped in half by megatron. WTF, 1st horror movies, now we cant even live as robots?

4th- Robotic Gremlin. There was a little Decepticon running around on screen making sounds & cursing. This was the robotic version of Stripe from the Gremlins movies. This robot was sneaking around a military airport in plain site, hiding behind walking people. This character was the jar jar binks/ewoks (Starwars annoying characters) of the movie.

5th- Why switch the names of the robots? Why is Devastator a tank? just name it something else. Fans of the original series dont understand why they changed the names.

6th- Why is it that these advanced alien robots with superior firepower cant seem to kill 5 soldiers out in the open on a city street? When the movie started, 1 decepticon destroys a whole military base but when the end of the movie comes, they lose all accuracy with bullets. They cant lock on & kill Tyrese & the other worthless soldiers.

7th- There's giant robots running around & there is panic in the streets. All the Autobots are standing around the main characters house & not 1 neighbor or anyone else see this! not too mention the fact that one of them falls & shakes the ground but nobody comes outside to see whats going on? I know its pg 13 movie but why put dumb scenes in the movie? this movie is for kids & adults but only if the adults dont pay attention to anything except the special effects.


If you never saw the original movie then this is a family fun movie. The special effects are great, its cool that they kept the transformation sounds from the cartoon & the original voice actor for Optimus Prime. This movie doesnt have many robot vs robot fight scenes. There's 1 short fight with Bumblebee (yellow camaro) & Baracade (police car) that is interrupted by a human struggling with a robotic gremlin. This took away from seeing the whole fight. It has another short fight with Optimus & some decepticon. That was cool because Optimus pulled no punches and killed his enemy. Then theres the last battle with all the Transformers except Baracade (M.I.A) & jazz who gets killed too quickly.

Show is finally out of the hospital. For all of those that didn't know i had to get surgery awhile ago on my jaw. It started acting up (got infected) july 6th after I saw that awful Transformers movie. I was in the hospital for 8 days but finally "The Show Has Comeback To Brooklyn!!!". Happy to be out, I did what anyone else would have done. I visited my friends Geene & Hasan at their sneaker boutique WEALTHY HO$TAGE for a taping of Rap City. Where host Q45, the Rap city crew along with sneaker connoisseurs, City, Kwado & myself showed love.

After that I had to go the homies Vashtie & Oscar Wildes monthly 1992 party. Those parties are on point. Some of the best music was made during that time as far as rap & club music. Its good to go back in the days once a month especially with horrible stuff being produced currently. Now lets all hope that nothing happens to my jaw & I stay away from hospitals for a long time.
