I don't know for real. Part of me still feels like GAF is too uppity for a Sneakerhead thread.

Shit, I don't think so. We have a thread dedicated to just cans.

Where you're from- Houston
Where you live- Houston
Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy- I don't really know, never thought about asking
Do you know your roots- Hmm, well, majority of my favorite was raised in Brooklyn and they've just kind of spread out the entire country. That's how I was born in the South. I don't really know much about my great grandparents other than the fact that in every picture I've seen they look really light skin yet everyone I've seen in my family is dark skin or med(?). Kind of odd, but I've never thought about asking, just assumed maybe cameras were that bad back then.
Your Age- 21
Favorite musical genre- Rap
Your profession/major/career interest- just living lol, working at a car auction atm.
Your religious affiliation- None, but I have a pretty religious family on my mother's side or at least I'd say so. One of my great uncle is like some pastor who tends to go around United States to different churches often.



I always said I was going to try to post in this thread more, so yeah. What's up


Eh, lol but be real, do you really think at some point GAF will stop being too uppity? I don't think so at all, so might as well go for it. Besides, I think the thread could have some regular members. I'd definitely be down

Another thing I'd add is maintenance for your sneakers including tips on keeping them clean, sprays, etc.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Is there anything you can get for laces that lose the plastic bit at the end that you use to tie them together? I've always wondered that. Used some struggle shit like duck tape before on my favorite shoes since I couldn't think of anything else.
Dreams-Visions said:
That's a good question. I guess when I moved out of the dorms and realized eating fast-food every day wasn't going to work is when I started learning how to cook. I started with basic stuff in a wok and recipie books. I had already known a certain number of dishes from just growing up, but wanted to expand the selection. Once you learn what spices do what, and how to put them together, you can actually start getting creative.

Yeah it helps to have an inspiration, I need to press my father for some of his recipes as he makes some really good entrees. I'll be moving with my girlfriend soon into our first place together and so I'll probably have a lot more opportunity (and motivation) to start learning.

Poison will always keep a party going or jump-start a lame one. Always. I wonder when they were making the song, did they have a feeling they were making a timeless classic?

edit: and with that, I can get my 5 hours of sleep in peace. thanks, devo.
