Join The Pack

 
Three Bears Pack

Hero/Villians Pack

Nike Sb has a very cool concept that it has with the shoes which is to release shoes that are related to recent events ,people ,landmarks and more. They also have a pack that contains shoes in different sizes from high ,mid and low cut shoes. They make them with differenent characters for each shoe to relate to. The shoes are usualy sold seperatly but they all have a high value together. A well known pack is the 3 Bears pack. In the High Dunk it is  the Pappa Bear ,Mid is Momma Bear and Low is the Cub. The colors really stand out on the shoe and they are also covered in fun from the toe to the heel. Personally i think the mid is the best looking one. Another pack is the heros and villains pack. In the back they have the high venoms ,Mid Spidermans (which i own) and the Mid Batmans. This pack is also cool because when looking at the shoe it is very easy to spot out what character goes with what shoe. My last favourite pack is the Fallen Heros pack. They all have different styles and sizes but there is the Pee-wee hermans ,milli vanillis ,mc hammers and the  Vanilla Ice. This pack is probaly the one that is least interesting because all the shoes are plain and dont stand out as much. The bears pack would probaly be my favourite one.

Riot

Nike Sb New York Pigeons


Police In front Of Nike Store Release Day

February 2005 was the day that the Nike Sb New York Pigeons were released in One Nike boutique shop in New York City. The shoe was set out to be released for 1 month with 20 pairs every single day being released till they ran out. The first day that the shoe went to be sold over 1000 people had shown up in line to be among the first to by the shoes. Eventually the shoes were released and when people found out that only 20 people were able to purchase them a riot began. It got so crazy that police had to get called in and tear gas was used. Eventually when the smoke cleared up and people ran away they had found hundreds of weapons in ally ways and garbage cans. People were planning on robbing who ever go the shoe. So for the rest of the month when ever a customer purchased the shoe they were escorted home in a taxi cab with a cop car in front for the customers safety. The shoe now is worth $1200 and at the time that they were being sold they were worth $200-$300. There was also another shoe known as Nike Sb Paris and they are even more rare except they were only released in Paris the shoe is now worth $5000 or more and value is still going up. Nike sneakers heads are serious for their shoes.

Too Expensive

50,000 Nike
The worlds most expensive Nike costs about 50,000 dollars and only one person in the world owns them. Rapper  "Big-Boi" was given these shoes as a gift. He was given the shoe in 2007 by Solitaire kicks which is now a shoe company those puts jewelry onto your shoes. The Nike check mark is full of diamonds and around the check mark is plated with 11 karat gold surrounding the check. The stitching in the shoe also has diamond studs placed onto it. The shoe is one of a kind and it is part of the air force one series.  They are hoping on starting a new trend with people "Icing" out their shoes. Unfortunately this started in 2007 and it hasn't been popular. Its a pretty stupid idea because people get robbed for shoes they wear as it is. Adding diamonds and gold to it ,is just screaming come rob me. Personally i would never do that to a shoe because i would then never want to wear them anywhere. If someone steps on them it would turn into a problem so its probably a good thing that these haven't become so popular.

Back To The Future

The Shoe Its self and Concept
With a push of a button Marty Mcflys shoes would tie up in a second and he would be good to go. Personally that would be my dream and it looks like Nike will soon be making that dream come true. They have started working on that exact shoe and it will be able to lace its self up just like that. Rumors have said that by 2015 the shoe should be all ready to be sold. The shoe will have wires running through it that are connected to a switch. With a push of a button the shoe will then lace fully up and be tight as if you had done it yourself. Nike has already released shoes that are based on Back To The Future part 2 but they are only regular basketball shoes and do not lace up or anything. Many sneaker heads all around the world have been waiting for this to happen. It will change the way people put on their shoes forever! It even will cut down time on sitting there and having to lace up the shoe. But hopefully Nike doesn't rush this idea and takes their time on it. The shoe will probably be very expensive and very limited but I'm sure they will go flying off the shelves the second their released.

Here is a link to the shoe and how it laces up!

Is It Fair?

In New York a man named  Alan Newton was wrongfully convicted for 21 years. He lost 21 years of his life in prison and is now being released and being awarded 18.6 million dollars. DNA test shown that he was actually not guilty for the crime. The only problem is that the city now does not want to pay him the 18.6 million dollars. I do not think that it is fair at all. First of all they took 21 years of his life and he will never get it back again. The 18.6 million dollars still will not replace those years of his life. It should only be fair that he does get the money. Losing years in your life is a horrible thing and on top of that all the pshycolgical trauma he must be going through. Allot of people come out of prison a different person. The amount of time that he did must have changed him for sure. In my opinion the money should be given to him without a doubt.

Now Legal

A ads list on Craigslist Toronto that has "erotic"services
Canada has recently become allot more "allowing"on their new law adjustments. Prostitution is now legal for women or men to do. They are able to call the police for help if they have a customer that is being more force full. They are allowed to go ahead and stand on the side of the road and basically sell them self. In my opinion i think that it is truly very stupid for someone to do that. First of all the country has a huge problem with people not paying taxes . Mostly people who make good money  get taxed allot. Does that mean that prostitutes will now get taxed as well? From a recent T.V show i watch on the Internet called "What I once Was" it showed a girl who was once a prostitute and she used to charge $150 per half an hour. Men did pay and she would make tons of money from this. Basically the law is just letting them get away with all this money by just selling their body. They are not taxed or nothing. I find it very stupid that they are NOW going to contact Craigslist about their prostitution ads to be removed. Why didn't they take action when this was illegal to do? Now that its legal they want it removed. . This is actually very stupid and unfair for people who actually work hard every single day. While all they have to do is open their legs for one hour and make $300. Who knows how much could be made in a day. The law should not have been changed.


Here is the article where they want to take action

Change Of Veiws

Students let free after 3 hours of wait
Recently in our local community there was a incident with a boy in grade 10 bringing a fake gun to school. Now this school has had history in the past for many different stores that all revolve around crime. It was nothing new for police to have to come to that school. The only problem was ,was how many that actually came. They went all out and got the swat team ,negotiators ,and K9 unit and a good 15-20 police cars all lined up along the school . All the boy had on him was a pellet gun. But then again a weapon is a weapon and it was very wrong that he brought it with him. What i don't understand is why such a huge thing was started over this. On the news it said he was holding a student hostage and that there was a stabbing and all that. Nothing even close to that happened. The boy had his gun in the gym bag the whole time and had been spotted.  While i was watching it live the police finally revealed what had happened and that it was a pellet gun he was holding and that none of those events had even occurred. I don't understand why it took so long for the police to reply to the media to let us know whats going on. People had gotten worried for no reason. Many parents were probably shaken by the whole story that the news had given us which was a lie. Weird enough i was on my black berry going on twitter when i heard the incident. I even read something a friend of mine said which was about how he is in the portable that the police are surrounding and nothing is going on inside. Why did it take so long for the police to go in and get him. They had the school in lock down for 3 hours and were doing nothing. It just makes the Durham regional police squad look like a joke. The story of someone being murdered was never solved and justice was never served. But a student brings a pellet gun to school and doesn't even bring it out ,and the whole police academy comes to be the hero. What  A Joke!

Christan Bale

Actors who has played the famous character batman has changed almost every single time a new movie was made. It started out with Lewis Wilson in 1943 and then went to Robert Lowery in 1949  . From there it was Adam West who began in 1966 . From 1966 to 1989 Adam west was the main face of Batman till it got to Micheal Keaton who played the first two films and Val Kilmer took the spot in 1995 . George Cloony took the spot in 1997. Eventually in 2005 Batman made a comeback with the best actor to play as  Batman which was Christan Bale. Christan Bale took batman to a whole other level .He made the batman franchise to a more daring and dark series. His acting skills are amazing and Batman suits him the best rather than anyone else. Unfortunately Batman is a children's hero as well and allot of kids look up to batman. So when they see Christan Bale they see him as being the real Batman. Christan Bale took a turn in his career when he was arrested for abuse towards his mother and sister and then fought the director of photography while playing for Terminator Salvation.Children were exposed to seeing their Batman go bad. He went from the good guy behind the cape to a real bad guy in real life. Christan Bale needs to clean up his act if he is going to keep his spot as batman. All the other actors who played Batman were not really much in the headlines for bad that they had done. Christan Bale is a role model to many kids because more children are going to see the Batman movies than anyone else.

The Amazing Spiderman

The new Director and Actor Of SpiderMan
Back in 2002 fans were going insane lining up for the new Spiderman movie that was coming to theaters. No matter where you go you will never find someone who has not seen the first spiderman movie. It was also the best one out of the series of spiderman movies that came out. Some people say that the second movie was one of the best  but i personally don't think so. The director Sam Rami took the movie to personally and made the movie the way he read the comics back when he was a kid. That is probably why the 3rd one was such a mess. Luckily for all the real comic fans a new director has taken over the franchise and is totally rebooting the whole spiderman look. There will be a new Peter Parker and Mary Jane and everything. Also the story will start all the way from the start from when spiderman was a teenager. The new role of Peter Parker will be played by Andrew Parker who had also played Mark Zuckerburgs best friend in the Social Network. I hope this new director will make these movies alto better than Sam Rami did and make the movies allot more realistic and not CGI almost every single scene in the movie.

All American

Green Lantern

Another American Hero
 The other day i was on one of my favourite sites to go on to see about new movies coming out (JoBlo) in the near future. I was just looking at mainly comic book movies and then i realized something ,why are all comic book hero's almost all white American males. As children we grew up worshipping these hero's but they were all one race and from one country. Now I'm not a racist or anything but i kind of hit me in a weird sense because now that i think of it when i do see a comic hero who is colored i think that its not right. Its because Ive been so used to it. My background is Persian and the closest hero we probably had to relate to was prince of Persia (which i didn't even know about till i was like 12) or Aladdin and hes not even a action hero really. It made me think we really got so attached to our hero's being the same that any other race dose not seem right to be a hero. Recently they are trying to add in more colored characters to the comic book world. A good example is green lantern if you watch the newly made cartoons he is now African American. Even Nick Fury will be African American (Samuel.L.Jackson) in the new Avengers movie coming out soon.  But this was back when i was growing up luckily allot has changed in cartoons and hero's if you watch new children's TV shows its full of multicultural hero's from different countries around the world. Its better to see this kind of things happening it creates less racism in the world. I have heard the argument many times of comic hero's and how they should be white and i personally don't think that it should be true. These new shows and comics will make for a better world to even live in. Which in the end is what real hero's are there to do!

Worst Actor

Worst Actor Ever
 Social Network was a pretty good movie that just came out into theaters. It allowed you to see how face book came about into this number one social network today. The movie itself was not bad in my opinion ,through the whole movie there was one thing i hated the most and that thing was Jesse Eisenberg. In the movie he represented the Creator of face book Mark Zuckerberg and i think that he did a horrible job. Not only did he talk to fast but he was just to much. I honestly did not understand half the things he was saying. It was like he was racing himself in some sort of way to see how fast he could talk. The whole movie i tried to pay close attention to it and eventually it just got annoying. The people who i went to see the movie with said they hated Jesse as well. 3 of the people i went with ended up falling asleep during the movie because it was just such horrible acting. It made me hate facebook even more than i do (because its the main reason my grades aren't at their highest). When i got home i was like wow they honestly should not of picked this guy to play him. The rest of the cast like Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfeild did a great job. I hated that guy so much that i made a call to my aunt in Los Angeles (who was actually the production assistant for the movie don't believe me here's the link http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1618121/) and just told her how much i hated him as an actor. I truly hope i don't end up seeing that guy in any other blockbuster movies because i think he really sucks and i wouldn't want another movie to go to waste!

I Just Dont Get It

 I understand that Johnny Depp is a very talented actor but personally i don't think he is that much of a good actor. His movies don't really wow me that much because i don't get him. I'm very confused by him and who he really is. He is one of those people who you can not ever tell his personality. Actors like Will Farrell and Jim Carrey's personality easily stand out ,you can tell in real life that they are actually funny people. Johnny Depp has many different personalities , you wouldn't be able to say if hes funny ,outgoing , cheerful or any of that. In his movies he plays many different characters with different personalities. Movies like Edwards Sciccorhands ,in that movie he is more of a serious role . Or as captain Jack Sparrow where he  is more of a humorous person.Even in Willy Wonka he was really suspicious. I just don't understand whats going on with him. Even in his interviews he comes off very weird. I would like to see him in a normal day and see how his life really is like.

What Ever Happend To?

Jim Carrey In one of his best movies ever Dumb and Dumber (1994)
 When i was younger my favourite actor used to be Jim Carrey. I used to watch every single movie that he was ever in . Even if the movie was garbage i would watch it from the beginning to the end and think it was the greatest movie ever made. His career was at its best from 1994-2000 , those were the times when all his movies were huge block busters. I still remember the first movie i ever seen with him staring in it that made me think he was the greatest actor ever to live. That movie was Dumb and Dumber, i have seen that movie so many times that it would be impossible to count . I was young when i used to watch it so i wouldn't understand it at those times. But now when i recently watched it i thought to myself "wow what really happened to this guy?"  I went up and looked up a few movies he was in recently and in my opinion they were all crap movies. Before he was releasing huge block busters that were mainly comedy ,but in recent times he has played more mature roles like "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind". A movie like that changed my idea of him totally he went from funny to just weird. In 2009 he released a new movie called "I love You Philip Morris" i thought that would of been funny so i eventually found it and watched in on a family trip to Pennsylvania. I got through 45 minutes of the movie and i had to turn it off. I found it so disturbing to see my favourite star from when i was a child backshotting another man. Not saying there is a problem with Gays but i never would of thought he would of been in a movie so explicit. It looks like his career is slowly dieing , the old Jim will never be back all i have left is to watch the old movies from when he was an actual FUNNY actor.

Here is a link to his twitter
All he tweets about is being Boring What actually happened to this guy

#1 actor of all time

 

Will Ferrel
 Without any question i would say that Will Ferrell is easily one of the funniest actors of all time. He has been in so many movies that have all been huge block busters. His style of comedy feels so real when you are watching it you cant help but laugh.  I would say its his sarcasm and his facial expressions and the way he over acts everything is what makes him so great. My all time favourite movie with him staring in it would definitely have to be  Talladega Nights : The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby . I Have seen that movie a number of times and i literally cry almost every time i see it. The way he acts is not like any other ,everything is just more funny when its done by him. After he got his fame through SNL he had done a few cameos in certain movies. One of his funniest was Mustafa in Austin Powers International Man Of Mystery , i remember when i first seen that movie and it got me from there . His small role was so funny ,i even remember me and my cousin used to always act out that exact scene in the movie and never get tired of it. In order my favourite movies with him staring in them would be Talladega Nights ,Step Brothers , Elf , The Other Guys and the movie that really jump started his career A Night At The Roxburry. In my opinion i would say that there is no other actor that is as funny and as talented as  Will Ferrel he is truly one of a kind.
