Fat Laces and Big Rope Chains
Yeah, I guess I'm in a "retro" mood....
I realized yesterday that I needed to get the kid some sneakers for his trip; couldn't send him out to Cali with his Payless Stinky Sneaks, so we did a quick run on 225th street. We were there; I had to make a stop in Target on the way home from Karate.
The Sun has a thing for futuristic sneakers, preferably black, but I refuse to pay more than $40 for sneakers cuz he's so hard on them. So we saw the new hardshell Adidas in black with sort of silverish graffiti on them, and they were cool, but we both liked the white ones. I liked them cuz they reminded me of BackInTheDay... so I was thrilled he liked them enough for me to buy them.
On the way home, I told him why I liked them, and today, since we're home, I went to YouTube to show him some old Run DMC video.
My kid is cool. He LOVED Run DMC, and sat at the computer for a good 20 minutes, watching "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" , "Run's House" and "Sucker MC's". His favorite, though was "King of Rock". I can't embed the video cuz Sony is stingy like that... but click on the links and go bring back memories....
I have to find him some fat laces.

we've been hitting YouTube for old 80s videos, the boys crack up at all the old Duran Duran vids
(they are kind of pretentious at that)
thanks for the flashback!
