MANE....I REMEMBER 8TH GRADE YEAR...I WAS STILL LIVING IN MY LITTLE HOMETOWN CALLED INGLESIDE, TEXAS...I USE 2 LOVE 2 DRESS UP..I COULDN'T GO THE GAS STATION WITHOUT LOOKING FLY: )..
I WAS ALWAYS TRYING 2 BE AHEAD OF THE GAME WHEN IT CAME 2 ANYTHING SO U CAN BEST BELIEVE THAT I WANTED 2 HAVE DA *NEW NEW* ISH (I KNOW Y'ALL SEEN ATL)...SO ME AND MY HOMEBOI STUART HAMILTON (WHAT'S GOOD, HOMIE??) WOULD HIT UP DA MALL ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND (driving our parents crazy...lol) LOOKING 4 DA NEWEST GEAR...I COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ISSUE OF "EASTBAY" 2 COME IN DA MAIL...
BACK THEN WE HAD ALLOWANCE SO U KNOW WE HAD QUITE A WHILE 2 SAVE...B4 WE COULD REALLY COP SOMETHIN BIG....
I REMEMBER HEARING THAT JORDAN WAS COMIN' OUT WITH THE RED,BLACK, AND WHITE AIR JORDAN 1 "RETRO EDITION" WITH PATENT LEATHER....I WAS SO HYPE....I HAD 2 GET EM...!!!
SO I WAITED AND WAITED UNTIL THEY CAME OUT (ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER)
FINALLY ME AND STUART HIT UP DA MALL...SEEING HOW THERE'S ONLY THREE "ATHLETIC" STORES IN OUR MALL...CHAMPS, FOOT LOCKER, AND FOOTACTION...I WAS DUMBFOUNDED WHEN I DIDN'T SEE THE KICKS IN ANY OF THE STORES....LET ME CORRECT THAT...EVERY STORE HAD THE BABY BLUE JOINTS BUT NOT THE "RED, WHITE, AND BLACK"
SO I SETTLED FOR SOME 40$ CONVERSE.....LOL
(WHEN U DETERMINED 2 BUY SOMETHING,WAITED AND WAITED 4 IT AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT....U HAVE 2 COP SOMETHIN...LOL)
SO ANYWAYS I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED 4 QUITE A WHILE (WHAT? BACK THEN U KNOW ALL U CARED ABOUT WAS LOOKIN GOOD AND HOOPIN...OR SOMETHIN SIMILIAR..: ).....)
WELL I CHRISTMAS WAS COMIN SOON SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I'LL GET 4 CHRISTMAS....
SO I WAS KOO 4 AWHILE...
BUT THEN I THOUGHT "WAIT...AM I GETTING THEM??"
I COULDN'T STOP THINKIN ABOUT THE SHOES...(SAD, YES...I KNOW)
I INVITED ANOTHER FRIEND OVER 2 TAKE MY MIND OFF OF IT...LOL
WHEN HE CAME IN HE PASSED BY THE CROWDED CHRISTMAS TREE....
HE ASKED "WOW, IS YOUR GRANDMA RICH??"
I TOLD HIM HOW I WAS SORTA LIKE A LONELY CHILD AND EVERYTHING...(LIKE I SAID..SORTA)
SO I GOT SPOILED A LIL BIT...
THEN HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD PEEP THROUGH THE PRESENTS AND SEE WHAT I GOT....AND I'M TELLIN Y'ALL
LOOK I DIDN'T WANT 2 DO IT....: ) BUT I HAD 2 SEE IF I WAS GETTIN DESE KICKS...IT WAS SUMMER TIME SO I WAS OUTTA SCHOOL AND MY GRANDMA WOULDNT BE HOME FOR QUITE SOME TIME SO WE TOOK DA OPPORTUNITY 2 PEEP THROUGH DA GIFTS....ALL OF DEM!!!!
LOL
AND I THINK IT WAS THE LAST GIFT I WENT THROUGH THAT I NOTICED IT WAS DA SHAPE OF A SHOEBOX...SO I DIDN'T EVEN HESITATE 2 RIP THE WRAPPING RIGHT OFF....(LMAO AS I THINK OF THIS)
AS I OPENED DA BOX SLOWLY...IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD HOPED 4...
I TOOK THE KICKS OUT OF THE BOX AND TRIED THEM ON...AND WALKED AROUND IN EM...AND EVERYTHING....
I HAD TOTALLY 4GOT THAT I HAD 2 RE-WRAP EVERY GIFT BACK...(DAMN!!!!)
2 MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT...MY FRIEND LEFT ME HANGIN...SO I HAD 2 TRY 2 MAKE UP A GREAT LIE OR WRAP MY ASS OFF (NO PUN INTENDED...LOL)
I DECIDED 2 TRY A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH...
WHEN MY GRANDMA CAME HOME....SHE WAS SO MAD....
SHE KNEW I HAD WHAT I HAD DID...AS SOON AS SHE WALKED PAST THE TREE...LOL
I WASN'T GOIN DOWN THAT EASY THO....SHE ASKED ME SEVERAL TIMES...DID I GO THRU THE GIFTS....AND I HELD MY GROUND AND SAID NO.....LOL
BUT IT DIDNT DO ME ANY GOOD....AT ALL!!!!!
IT MADE THINGS WORSE....!!!!!
AND I GOT THE WORSE PUNISHMENT I'VE EVER GOT..!!!!!!!
LOSING MY GRANDMA'S TRUST.......
DAMN....ALL 4 SOME SHOES......!!!!!
IT WAS ALMOST WORTH IT THO....(SIKE!!!)
(I GAINED THE TRUST BACK BUT IT TOOK A WHILE...)
LOL....I WAS SO CRAZY BACK THEN....
DAMN...THE WAY I TOLD THIS STORY...Y'ALL PROLLY THINK ITS LIKE THE GREATEST KICKS EVER MADE AND SHIT....
WELL THEY ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST PAIR OF KICKS MADE IN MY OPINION!!!!!...(AND MY BRO STILL HAS EM TILL THIS DAY...(HAHA...I PASSED EM DOWN...GENERATION 2 GENERATION....LOL)
