Know your “swag.”

Swag. We’ve all heard of it. People wearing snapbacks and Air Jordan retro’s and what not. But here’s the thing. Rarely will you find one who understands what the brands stand for.

Cheesecake Note: As far as The Big Cheese and I are concerned, swag is the free goodies we get at conventions. It is widely known as that and we shall stick to it.

Everyone knows that Air Jordans were the shoes popularized by The Air Man himself, and they are sold for hundreds to even thousands of dollars. Hats, whether fitted or adjustable, are made by several brands, like New Era and Starter. These brands took root in sports. New Era for baseball caps, Jordans for basketball sneakers… But what about those other brands? Can’t leave them dry, can you? They have backgrounds, too! Some in skateboarding, some in music, some in art. Know your swag.

Bourne again?

I am going to watch the premiere of Bourne Legacy tonight.  Quite excited as I’ve been waiting for this to be released. Disappointed that it’s not Matt Damon but it does open it up for an uber Bourne movie in the future with Matt and Jeremy. Our review to come this weekend.

Pikes Peak Climb Dance

Pikes Peak hill climb will be happening soon, and to celebrate this joyous event, I give you the Climb Dance.  A classic footage of masterful car control.

Motivation!

No big deal, I’ll just jump down this huge gap to motivate a total stranger.
Yes, that is what this crazy Latino man did for a random skateboarder, filming for a video part.
The guy was THAT crazy, that he broke his ankle for a stranger. Next time you’re afraid to do something big, remember this guy. REMEMBER HIM.
Watch the video, okay?
Cheesecake note: Do not try this at home, by the way.

What really happens after you trade in your stuff at Game Stop

I doubt anyone has ever really wondered what happens to the stuff you either trade in or sell at Game Stop for about 1/3 of the price you originally paid for. (or +30% if you are a rewards member, excluding hardware)

BUT in case your that one person that did wonder, well wonder no more.  Kotaku has posted such information, so now, maybe YOU can sleep a little more soundly at night.

Really? Another blog?

Yeah, I did this before, and kept it up for about a month, but I was too scared of maintaining it on my own personal site.  Why do it again?  What’s different this time?  Well, I am employing my cousin as a co-editor to help with the content this time, and also, I am doing it through WordPress instead of my own domain/site, hence making maintenance a tad easier.  We will try to inform everyone of useless info, pointless pics, and perhaps, something useful and maybe even educational.  We can’t make promises though.  And seeing as it’s Friday……

 

Welcome!

I’m Pat, co-editor of justwroteablog, and I want to welcome you personally! I hope that you readers enjoy our posts as they come rolling in. Be sure to follow us and check back in regularly, and we’ll do our best to provide you with delicious, delectable, and delightful posts. You better be all right with alliteration. Anyway… (see what I did there?)
WELCOME!
