I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE IT BACK FOR '09!!!!!!

A traditional compliment to the Casio G-Shock line, the Databank served up a wealth of different functions including calculator and information storage. Enjoying a contemporary update, the watch is seen here in some more modern colorways with other details including a checkboard style keypad. Available in four colorways and releasing this week at stores including Leaders 1354 and Shoe Gallery. With a new solid North American distribution in place, look for a new series of exciting projects on the way.

SHOULD i TAKE IT BACK?!?!?

Following up on their announcement earlier this year, Los Angeles-based indie retailer Sportie LA has teamed up with L.A. Gear to bring back the popular ’90’s footwear label. Utilizing a collection of original models, the kicks were revamped with a new selection of materials and color choices while still retaining a nostalgic fashion quality. Their 2008 fall/winter lineup is now available exclusively through the Sportie LA online store as well as in their flagship locations.

iGOTTA HAVE THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoying a bit of spotlight under Puma’s 60th anniversary, the Unlimited Hi features a nice well-rounded shape despite its high-top profile. The two colorways seen here revolve around the predominate use of base colors white and black with strong highlight colors thrown into the mix. Available now at select Puma dealers.

MY NEW TOY!

On Monday, December 8th- I decided to go to Pentagon City. Usually, when I go to that particular mall I would head straight first to Nordstrom, to check out the latest kicks and jeans; however, that night, I felt like I needed to make a major purchase. I decided to go to the Apple store to look at the MacBooks. At first, I was skeptical about buying it; but I've been wanting it since the MacBook Air was released earlier this year. I know your probably asking yourself, "Why are were you skeptical?" Here's my answer: I have both a DELL desktop (that's connected to my 40' Plasma TV) and a Inspiron laptop (which I recently upgraded the RAM, since most of the programs were running a bit slow, and still is). Compulsive huh?! Let's just say that, what Gilbert wants, Gilbert gets! 

While I was inside the Apple store, I had to choose between the latest generation of MacBooks and the AIR. Yes, there's a quite a difference between the two. Why the MacBook AIR huh? Well, let me just say that I like the way it looks. Sad isn't it? So after a convo between the Mac employee and I, he recommended getting the regular MacBook oppose to the AIR. I agreed. 

At this point, I was just blah and wasn't really excited about it as the employee gets both my laptop and printer. Oh yeah, they had a promo that you get a 100$ rebate towards a purchase of any new MacBooks and Printer. I decided to get the HP wireless printer with a price tag of $129.95, not bad for a 30$ printer right?! My Mac was 1299$, well- 1211$ with my Government discount. 

Finally, the transaction was complete with my rebate check on its way. I walked out of the Apple store that night with a 1400$+ purchase. Which wasn't bad at all considering it was worth it! Now that I have my iPhone, iPod Touch and now my new MacBook... I am proud to say that I'm proud to be a MAC user!

WELCOME!
