  I was looking thru my 'My Favorite Things' section.  To see what I have already done. I didn't see what I thought I was going to see. It's pretty funny how I got to this. To seeing I never blogged about it.  I was looking for Ugly Betty on Netflix (it's not) after being mad, I went to another one. I just knew it was on Netflix. I swear I seen it. 'Blue Chips'. I type into the search bar, getting happy to see the movie pop up. Only to be sad to see it not appear. They say they have it on DVD, ain't nobody got time for that.

   " You cannot make friends with the rock stars. That's what's important. If you're a rock journalist - first, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet girls, they'll try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs... I know. It sounds great. But they are not your friends. These are people who want you to write sanctimonious stories about the genius of the rock stars, and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it."- Lester Bangs ‪#‎AlmostFamous‬.

Back when I was a journalist, I held this scene in my highest regards. It's the realest thing ever. Even as a retired journalist I still do. A musician (I use that loosely) reminded me this week of why I retried (interviewing people is like pulling teeth.). I was also reminded of how much pull I still have. Good lord, talk about shutting somebody down. S/o to XXL,Vogue, NYLON,Karen Civil, Complex, etc.‪#‎WeAintNothingToFuckWith‬ ‪#‎journaliststicktogether‬

The high-top shoe sports a tonal “Laker-esque” purple look, constructed from recycled polyester yarn, stitched in a manner that resembles snakeskin scales in accordance with Kobe’s “Black Mamba” alter ego. Nike’s Flyknit upper sits atop a white midsole and a green tinted, translucent bottom sole. Stay tuned for further news regarding the model’s release date and price tag in the coming days.

I don't know about you. I like to listen to music when I'm getting ready to leave the house. Doesn't matter where I'm going. It can be to the store to the park or simply to the trash can. Okay, maybe not the trash can part. That would be odd. I did have a period where I would walk around the house to the trash can (on the side of the house) with the music blasting. I had my reasons.

 For the latest episode of ESPN’s wildly popular series 30 for 30, the sports conglomerate examines the life of John Paul “Sonny” Vaccaro, one of the most polarizing and influential figures in basketball recruiting and sports culture. Vaccaro, a former employee of Nike, adidas and Reebok, is known to many as a man who epitomizes everything wrong with college basketball, but to his players, from Jordan to LeBron, he is a mentor and father figure. From sports to fashion, there’s no telling where we would be if it wasn’t for Vaccaro’s unique vision.

“Sole Man” will make its prime-time television debut on Thursday, April 16, at 9pm EST. (the above clip is just a preview)
