Brian Levay: January 2006 Archives

My son and I went shoe shopping today.

Daddy selected the Air Jordan Retro #14. The memories these things bring back. They are so smooth...I certainly like them:

Now Justin likes to do everything that Daddy does, but like with everything else he likes to be a little different, which leads us to the Air Jordan Preschool Retro #14. These things are sweet, check them out:

While we were at the store they had this wicked poster of a new Nike Air shoe:



Nike is keeping the lid on these shoes until their official unveiling on the 21st of January. Every Nike Air shoe to this point has had a small piece of foam right in the middle of the sole to support the arch of the foot. This is the first Nike Air shoe to have nothing but Air on the bottom. No more foam. They claim it is revolutionary. I'm not sure I believe them but I think I'm going to find out for myself!

The Redskins were eliminated from the playoffs today and it shouldn't be a time to be sad and to pout. They overachieved this year and it was a miracle they were even in the playoffs. Looking to next year they are a few positions away from having a power house of a team. A new QB to replace the geriatric Brunell. A new WR to complement Moss. And a couple big linemen on both sides of the ball. Lookout Miam, here we come!

When you have little children you just never know what is going to come out of their mouths. While watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night with our 6 year old, he said "Mommy, I really want to go away so when we are gone somebody can fix up our house." What do you say to that?

Well you do what any good parent would do. You try to explain the concept of the show. How they pick disadvantaged families and that the odds of that happening to us are pretty low. Problem solved...right? Try again.

"Mommy, I wish our house would explode so they can rebuild it." Back to square one.

Updated, I have to fix typos.

This will be a recurring feature where I share with you some of the The Feeds I Read.

1. Tim Bray's blog is the very first blog I followed. He is my idol when it comes to blogs. You can tell he enjoys sharing his thoughts with the world, he is very smart, he puts a tremendous amount of time, energy, and passion in to his writing, and his only strike is that he works for a company that many think won't be around 2 years from now.
2. A coworkers blog, Dave, doesn't post that often but he usually finds things that I've never heard of. He sleeps in Google bedding, in Google jammies, and with a Google teddy bear. Other than that, he is just your average loser.
3. Another coworkers blog, Charlie, doesn't post that often either, but when he does he is usually ranting about something. The bad part is whenever he rants he is usually right. Like Dave, he too is a loser.

In all seriousness though, Dave and Charlie are two of the brightest people I know. They make me smarter every day.

In Beyonce and Slim Thug's latest single called Check On It, she says this:

Dip it, pop it, twork it, stop it, check on me tonight

Twork? If you ever run across a word like this and you have no idea what it means, than the Urban Dictionary is for you. It is one of the few places you can go to find out the meaning of the word gobbler, or the 9 different definitions of the word hay, or the place where all of us live: meatspace.

But I digress. Here is the entry for twork:

1. twork

2. twork

I don't know about you, but I try twork it all the time. When is the last time you used the word hoochie moma in a sentence?
