Poor (but cute) dog!

Went to Shore Runner with J to assess his running style and get him some new running shoes, yet I ended up buying these.. for me :)
NB903

While I am happy about my new purchase, I have to admit it was a bit of a humbling visit because I found out that the person who worked there can do a mile in a little over 4 minutes. He can also do a 10 k (6 mile) in about 31 minutes -- that's twice as fast as MY 6 mile!!!

In my defense, it took him 9 years to get to that point.... I have time :)

Air Max Wright - $50

Air Mogan (Sample) - $30

Also picked up some running shorts, and a sleeveless hoodie from Puma. Overall, it was a nice workout and I'm glad the rain was at it's worst before (and after) we were there.

Bad news -- Taylor still cries around me. Maybe I should cut my hair.

Checked out the new Jersey Shore Premium outlets in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. WOW, that line of cars was terrible! But oh it was worth it:

pino's pizza -- interesting style.. they had the sauce on TOP of the cheese... and it was so perfectly round and sweet!

Thanks J for ordering the UFC Cotoure/Lesnar fight.

For all those who don't already know, Thes One is the MAN!! check him out on that DVD by DJ Dusk called Root Down Soundclash, which has battles between Thes/Will.i.am, Oh No/Exile and Madlib/Cut Chemist!!

It's a shame the clerk was a jerk, else I might have purchased these. Seems a bit egregious to be buying activity specific sneakers though, eh? (Running doesn't count!)

Had some drinks with AT and almost got away with a wrongful act -- though the bill was roughly $45, the check said only $12. The $10 tip wasn't enough to sway the tender for a quick review of my online account revealed that it had been correctly charged after the fact (sans tip). Oh well. I felt bad for doing it anyway.

Discovered Hypnotic Brass Ensemble today and oh what a treat they are! I heard a few measures in passing them on Times Sq. and ended up buying all three albums.

Did I mention Last.fm is my new best friend?

Hurricane Pro Tour

Gamma Asterisk Tour

Gamma Professional

16 Gauge

The higher the gauge, the smaller the wire, which adds to spin, control, and power but sacrifices durability.

advice: string the pure storm at medium tension (54) with the pure storm and try out the asterisk or professional for the aero pro drive also at medium tension (57-58), both with 17 gauge.

A while back, a friend recommended a reggae mix called Monk-One presents Rockers Showcase. Needless to say, I played it out very quickly. This afternoon track 40 ( Ordinary Version - Impact All-stars) was selected at random on my iTouch and wow! yummy indeed.

Finally, I decided to check out what their website was all about and that was easily the best decision I've made all month. Check them out at

www.nyctrust.com (names you can trust.com)

Though I may be prematurely recommending it, I was able to score gems like:

some further development in the winter jacket hunt..

Option #01: Men's Rubicon Rider Jacket

They didn't have that Artisan's Gold in-store. Diggin it. Sleeves were a little baggy, though. Eh, still too early to decide..

UPDATE: I officially have stricken this from my list. I tried it on again, and sleeves are WAY too baggy ..

Maybe I should look into Patagonia, North Face and the like...
