To Darrin Hudson: SIGNS OF THE OLYMPICS.

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

SIGNS OF THE OLYMPICS.

The fast approaching Beijing Olympics is playing out like the coming of the apocalypse! The Times just release some interesting facts: 33,000 exterminators have been sent to battle a locust infestation in northern China in hopes of heading off a migration to Beijing during the Games. What else can go wrong for Chinese Olympic officials? There was the uprising in Tibet. The earthquake. Beijing's choking air pollution. The massive algal bloom that threatens the Olympic sailing competition in Qingdao. So why not a plague of locusts? Mongolian herdsmen will assist the army of exterminators by sending their chickens into the thick of it. One herdswoman explained that her 50-odd chickens could eat more than 100 locusts a day. Let the games begin!
日に日に迫っている北京オリンピックの前にアポカリプスの到来のような事ばかり。The Timesはちょっと面白い情報を掲示ました：中国北部のイナゴの異常発生がオリンピック期間中に北京に移動する前に駆除をするため、33,000人の害虫駆除業者を送り込みました。中国のオリンピック委員会が頭を抱える出来事はこれからもどれだけ起きるのでしょうか？チベットでの暴動。地震。窒息するほどの大気汚染。セーリング競技にも影響が出でてしまうチンタオでの藻の異常発生。今度は厄介な大量のイナゴはいかが？モンゴルの牧者たちが害虫駆除業者を手伝うため、飼っている鶏を放つそうです。ある牧婦は自分の飼っている50羽の鶏は一日に100匹以上のイナゴを食べられると主張しています。これにて大会の開幕を宣言します！
