WHO: DAN
WHAT: ALIFE X ADIDAS (AZX PACK "R" FOR RIVINGTON CLUB)
WHEN: END OF OCTOBER
WHERE: ALIFE NYC TO WELLINGTON NZ
WHY: WHY ASK...ITS A MUST

Aquiring sneakers has always been much of a talent for a few people...buying them full price is another thing...maybe because Im dutch which means it aint much, but either way im a sucker for ALIFE...(www.alifenyc.com) the footwear and apparel is ballin out of control and my collection boasts some 15 odd pairs of collabs with REEBOK pump, with WU TANG and just straight dopeness...so when they released the azx online it was a must...i owed it to myself and it dropping around my birthday was a must for my girlfriend to cop it for me...what a coincidence you may say, however this is the first pair of alife collabs she has ever bought for me...now the story begins...

As i type this I still do not have them...

first i thought this was a mishap and they would send it...but its been 3 months...whats going on? sweet fuck all is the slum dog millionare answer....ZIP, ZILCH, NADA!

So myt girlfriend calls them....with replies of "yeah no worries well send it"....still no reply or shoes...so i jump in

RING RING (the sound of phones when ringing new york?)

ALIFE: (long pause)...who the fuck is this?
Dan: Dan from New Zealand
ALIFE: First off who the fuck is Dan, and where the fuck is New Zealand?
Dan: Ummm...by australia..? anyways bro i just want to know where my shoes are weve been emailing some dude called drucker but no reply i just want my kicks man

Dan: Mean bro thanks for this aye, so i'll just repeat your email address back to you to clarify ...
ALIFE:....BEEP BEEP (hung up on me)

1 MONTH LATER, 4 WEEKS, 31 DAYS, A SHIT LOAD OF HOURS

ALIFE: yo you that nigga that called me like a month ago from New Zealand right?!
Dan: YES THATS ME!!!
ALIFE: then why the fuck you callin homie?

Dan: (thinking .... ah fuck now ive emailed everyone from the alife team!) Thanks Chris your a life saver mate (was gonna get sentimental)
ALIFE: Be easy sonALIFE:....
BEEP BEEP (hung up on me)

So i emailed Manny they sending me a half size smaller than what i bought...moral of the story is talk slow, think fast and what ever you do talk black and sound important, it seems to work better than sounding like a snobbby white dude

I thank you ALIFE!!

PAUL WALL VS MARK (WESTLIFE)

First and foremost...im sitting in AK and sam and wes start cracking up saying that Im the dude from westlife aka mark..i googled it before you say anything....then i get a call from sams better half saying that Im now Paul wall (if i was a rapper....havent you heard my last 20 mixtapes...pacific beatz featuring split fiddy!! lolz)

but yeah payback will be a bitch as soon as i find some good match ups!!! ahahah....oooooooh revenge is sweet

NEW: SMASHPROOF FT. GIN WIGMORE - BROTHER

ooooooh...ive been a sucker for this track eversince the snippet got released on line on the MTC blog...im always down for some greasy chicken, a copy of the notebook, writing poetry about illustrious romantic dinosaurs and more than anything when hiphop heavys drop their guard and spit "the realness" ... I personally have never sat down with Sid...ive met him on few occasions usually through Sam, and I will nervously wave, however more so admire his ease and full swing effort on live performances...aside the media's take on things I rate him as the man! I remember Felila, Campo and me going up to Auckland for the half marathon and sitting waiting in the lounge and Sid and Mr. Sicc was there...a kind of felt it was my duty as a avid fan of good music that doesnt boast a gangster background and hangs with brown and white people that like hiphop but dont tarnish its names by giving passerby's the "uber-evil-hiphop glare" that "sid, .... mate...you rock bro, your sounds ballin"

p.s who was first Duffy or Gin Wigmore...its kind of like Gin was thinkin..."ooh duffy sounds dope, NZ wont catch on to fast ill just do my thing here...and itll be a case of the egg or the chicken..."

Thats right gin and Im t Pain
