Christmas Song Classics: Chanukah Song

, , ,

Okay, okay, not strictly Christmas, and I’m not too familiar with other religious Holiday traditions, but I do enjoy Adam Sandler’s Chanukah Song (Parts 1, 2, and 3). So you won’t be mistaking Adam’s rhyming skills with that of Emimem, but educating listeners about Chanukah he does. And if you had to rhyme “Chanukah,” I bet “playing the harmonica” and the “Seattle Supersonicas” sound pretty darn good.

Take it away Adam…

Christmas Song Classics: Last Christmas

, ,

Seriously, I don’t know what this song about other than the hook, “last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away.” What else is there to know? George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in their prime.

For a more upbeat tempo of this classic, I like the Jimmy Eat World version.

It’s Time.

, ,

It’s time, time to bring out an annual Christmas tradition. Long time fans know what I’m talking about. It’s time for the infamous Christmas Gift Prank.

Go ahead, give it a play (or two), show your coworkers and your friends. Laugh, be merry. Mimic the sayings and doings of the video. Do that left handed throw of disgust. Scream out, “Upgrade!” Try to contain that genuine frown of disappointment. Go ahead and try. Then laugh, laugh freely as most of us in the video. Be merry.

Kicks Love at First Sight

, , ,

Though I am a kicks fanatic, I must admit that there have only been a few pairs that were truly love at first sight. The iconic Air Jordan XI was definitely not love at first sight.  That black patent leather confused me for a long time, and even though I have owned several Air Max 95, I slept on those for years due to all those “layers.”

So what was kicks love at first sight? It was these Air Max Uptempo 95, especially the teal colorway.

When I saw these at Footlocker Phase 2 Pearlridge aka Downtown back in the day, I absolutely had to get them. No hesitation, no ruminating, just pure wanton craving. The image doesn’t do justice to the teal accents, but the black and white colors really set off the teal. For my feet, these weren’t the best balling shoes. All the air cushioning obliterated court feel, but it didn’t matter. They looked great. In fact, even with the imperfect fit, I owned two more colorways over the years, an all black version and a black and white version without accent color. As additional colorways have been produced over the years, I usually stop, pickup the Uptempo, and admire the design.
