My Current Choice for President

Not to go into much detail as to why but to say that Ron Paul for right now has my vote.
It is unlikely that he will win based on the current polls however, It "appears" more so than the other candidates that he could definitely change America. It is highly unlikely that I will change my vote based on the fact that the only candidates that are supposedly the main contenders are Clinton and Obama. Choosing what seems to be everyone's choice might not be in the country's best interest in the long run.

Business Ventures Continued

This is just a follow up on my previous blog that was written November 28, 2007. I am giving you and will continue to give viewers information on my business affairs even after the the launch. My future ventures will permit bloggers and or non bloggers to shop from my electronic stores as well as other stores that are not my own but I am promoting for mainly monetary reasons of course. Listed merchandise will include items such as clothes, baseball cards, books, magazines, digital and subscription based products. Until my own personal items are sold, the inventory will currently be 95-99% brand new. Through my electronic stores, you will be able to name your price on selected items in order to level off the playing field by allowing viewers bargaining power. The only sources of payments that will be accepted will be paypal, moneybookers, googlecheckout and authorize.net. I do this to prevent fraud and suspicion from identity theft from debit cards. So please if you are interested in buying, then register if you don't have an account with any of the payment services listed.

FEBRUARY
? - OL'School Low

? - Nu'Retro 1 Low
9 - Classic '87
16 - Melo M4 - White/Black
23 - Air Jordan XX3


Dec. 15 - Air Jordan 12.5. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Pic4 : Pic5 : This shoe turned out looking great. It's a combination of design elements from the Air Jordan 12 and 13. Six colors of the Air Jordan 12.5 are scheduled to come out in stores on Dec. 15. Retail price will be $125.

Limited Air Jordan XX3 coming out in January? There is a rumor that a very limited AJ XX3 in (White/Univ. Blue/Grey) will be releasing in early January. The official launch date of the XX3 is Feb. 23, but this shoe coming out in January is going to be very limited. Supposedly, only the top 23 Nike/Jordan stores in the USA will have the shoe for sale. And because of the limited availability they are bumping the retail price up to $230.

Sneak Peek: AJ XX3. Pic1 : Pic2 : The picture of the shoe is a black & white photo, but at least you get to see what the Air Jordan XX3 will look like, even if its without the colors. The release date is Feb. 23. What a coincidence.

UPDATED: Jordan 14.5 Sketches. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Pic4 : Pic5 : The release of this shoe is still about a year away. Probably Fall of 2008. The shoe is a combination of the Air Jordan 14 and 15, hence 14.5. These sketches are from an official Japanese catalog. Thanks to "neimaj" and "gio2323" for sharing the pics.

Women's Jordan 12 Fusion. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : (White/Pink) : We don't know if it's a bad picture, but the toe area actually looks red instead of pink. The stripe on the heel is definitely pink, but we don't know if the front area is going to be changed to pink or kept red. Release date for this color still unknown.

Jordan 12 Fusion. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Pic4 : Pic5 : Pic6 : Pic7 : (Black/Red/Green Bean) : To celebrate the 23rd year of Air Jordans they are going to release several limited "Jordan Air Force 1's" in 2008. The shape of the shoe looks like an Air Force 1 Mid and it even has the velcro ankle strap. But the colors and other design cues will be taken from past Air Jordan shoes. The first one to come out will be on Jan. 5.

Jordan 5 Fusion. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Pic4 :: It will be a Jordan Brand release scheduled to come out in the Summer of 2008. It is a combination of design elements from the Nike Air Force 1 Mid and the Air Jordan 5. Thanks to "BKRW" for the pics.

Retro 15 Laser. Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : RD = Dec. 22. This Retro 15 shoe features a laser pattern design. If you look closely you'll see that the laser pattern contains pictures of the bottoms of old Air Jordan shoes. Thanks to "wanjiaming35" for the pics.


Jordan 13/10 Countdown Package. Get your riot gear ready! On Jan. 19 the Jordan Brand plans to release a 2-pair package of the Retro XIII (13) and Retro X (10). Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Thanks to "Air Randy" for sharing the pics.


Jordan 14/9 Countdown Package. In March of '08 the Jordan Brand plans to release a 2-pair package of the Retro XIV (14) and Retro IX (9). No word yet on what color the Retro 9 will be, but the Retro 14 will look very similar (but not identical) to the ones MJ wore when he took his last shot as a Chicago Bull.....the infamous shot against Utah to win the Championship. The major difference is that the shoe will have WHITE stitching along the sides. Take a look for yourself: Pic1 : Pic2 : Thanks to "Air Randy" for sharing the pics.
