Thank You Chargers!

Patriots 21 vs Nate Keading 12

Yes we lost. yes im not going to the superbowl. but yes i will live on for the years to come.

im not mad about yesterdays game. whod ever thought wed get this far, especially against the potential NFL’s great team ever. im happy for everyone on this team. they played with their hearts out. i cant wait til next year and the years after that.

i found these on signonsandiego.com:

Philip Rivers’ anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee is “totally gone” and he will have reconstructive surgery soon.

“I’m PR, dag nabbit! I aint got no ACL but I play all 60 minutes!! That LT, he’s a wuss! I’m PR! I don’t care about ACLs, MCLs, LCLs, or whatever they call dem dum things! ” said by a Chargers fan

“The Lord says run the race . . . the Lord doesn’t always say you will win,” longtime chaplain Shawn Mitchell said in a telephone interview after the game.

dont give up on the chargers. imagine next year. everyone will remember how far we went this year and fear us. imagine what the raiders are still thinking.

time to move on…

BE LOUD BE PROUD

CHARGERS WEEK day #6!!!

work was horrible today. with the knowledge of having a chance of getting superbowl tickets, ive been on the edge all afternoon. its like butterflies but not because of a girl, but because of a football game. i feel like puking and got really close once so i had to go for a walk around the block. this game means everything to me.

just imagine…

  • the chargers win
  • the biggest upset in NFL history
  • chargers voted “best team ever”! beating defending champs and undefeated team
  • ALL those analysts will be pounding their heads on their desk on monday.
  • boston fans will go crazy and jump off the cliff without a charger fan pushing them (in regards to that one chargers joke)
  • the raiders will still suck
  • ME AND KIMTAN WILL BE PICKING UP OUR SUPERBOWL TICKETS WITH OUR NAME ON IT

to those who have joined me in wearing their jerseys/apparel all week, big props. it takes a lot to be a dedicated charger fan. be loud and be proud. lets hope this time tomorrow i can put a smiley face on.

so on this second to last day of this weeks CHARGER WEEK, ive added a few more extra pics.

You wont believe what has just happened. because i cant. me and kimtan got picked in the random superbowl drawing. if they WIN, we can go and buy our superbowl tickets with our names on them next week for $700 a pop.

im already going crazy and now im like super duper going crazy. and the anticipation keeps building.

Apple MacBook Air

Are you kidding me! they came out with this morning and they are now taking pre-orders and shipping out in two weeks. the ultimate mobile laptop ever. it even fits in a freaken envelope. time to save some money. i think it might be time to retire my 17″ powerbook. or maybe not, a 13.3″ screen might not do it for me. but we’ll see.




Adidas & Circa Fall 08 Sneaks

My job titles at Willys Workshop are interactive designer and buyer. as a buyer, we pick out apparel, footwear, and etc, to order months and months in advance. it hard to tell what will be hot in 6 months but we do our best. we had a meeting with the adidas rep and circa footwear rep today to check out the Fall 08 (back to school) shoes. so lets begin…

these are the adidas skate sambas! remember sambas back in the day!? everyone rocked a pair of the black and white model. well, i didnt, i was branded and born with nikes on my feet. not kidding.

img_8386.JPG

skate vulc collabo with the artist of bueno skateboards and some volcom apparel.

img_8387.JPG

the lineup of the non-skate adidas…

img_8388.JPG

super dope and clean gazelles. this is part of the green natural environmental friendly collection. as you can see, corked insole. nice colorway!

img_8389.JPG

speaking of colorways, this set of runners have some color!

img_8391.JPG

somehow these runners are linked to the NBA? i dunno, has nothing to do with the NBA. it has the logo on the heel.

img_8393.JPG

this model is called the Ciero. super clean, especially those brown mids.

img_8394.JPG

Now off to Circa footwear!

trying to predict the future for a designer must be hard. i guess someone is still thinking -25 years ago. different but dont think these would work at the workshop…

img_8397.JPGimg_8396.JPG

now these mids are dope. especially the teal pair. full suede paneling with a vulcanized sole.  both of these will be at either shop when summer comes around.

img_8398.JPG

have you seen a duck tape shoe? well here it is…

img_8404.JPG

dont be dumbfounded by the shoes shown here, circa has some clean shoes coming out in the fall that we have ordered. youre going to have to wait til then.

tomorrow, we have Skyler from Fallen coming in. so maybe i can snap some more sneak peak shots. im outta here.

Piece out!
