Since this week I'm posting about unbelievable things i thought i would share this. One of my favourite artist of all time Kid Cudi was caught leaving a Halloween party drunk out of his mind. It was so bad it got to a point where he was all over the floor and not moving. His body guard had to pick him up and throw his body into the car and drive off. Even though he is a celeb and its kinda expected it still shouldn't of been like that. I consider him one of my favourite artists and seeing him like that was really weird. I didn't think he would of gotten to a point where he cannot even walk. But then he is one of those artists who abuses drugs so harshly. Watching videos like this makes me want to never do any drugs or get drunk. It just looks embarrassing on his part. Also his new album "Man On The Moon :Part Two" is releasing soon. If anything he should not be setting that image out there for himself. We seen him do drugs in his music videos ,but never seen him so wasted like that before.

Overnight Celeb

Antoine Dodson
One song made millions of dollars over a real story. I still to this day cannot believe that Antoine Dodson has become so famous. The truth is there is nothing funny about a woman being raped (which is what the offender was trying to do) but a couple of teens took what he had said on the news and turned it into a song. Everything fell into place perfectly and he became a over night star. The video has more than 25 million views and has been viewed world wide.He now has a manager, a talent scout, photographer and lawyer all for a song. His song went onto Billboards top 100 and itunes went to first spot. Luckily for him and his family he was able to help all his family leave the projects and be put into a more safer home for them all to live. He has told the media that the intruder has still not been found and that he is still working on finding him.  They have been searching all over and still have the hopes of finding him. As for Dodson and his family he has used social networking to its full potential creating websites to donate to his family and get their life going. It goes to show how much power the Internet really has.

Do we really help?

Hati
Where does it all go? We are always paying towards kids in poverty ,giving them our clothes and what not. But the thing is we never see what happens after. I feel as if when ever i donate something it never reaches a child or family. If you look at Hati ,after the disaster  they were given more money than they had from before the disaster. But the country is still in a horrible state. I feel as if the money and items don't ever go to the people in need. When i was younger i used to always give my old clothes to the salvation army. I sometimes would even throw in my toys i wouldn't play with. I then realized a few years ago that all the items i donated go into a store and are resold . So i stooped that right away. I want to help others in need and give them what they cannot regularly have ,not have it go into a store and be sold again. My question is we actually help others in need or is there some theft going on with these companies who claim to be giving it all back to the needy?

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!
