DJ AM x NIKE

DJ AM aka Adam Goldstein had a crazy sneaker collection, boasting more than 800 pairs - that's more pairs of shoes/heels/flats/sneakers than I've owned in my lifetime!

Before his tragic death in August, the celebrity DJ announced, via his Twitter profile (@DJ_AM), that he was working on a collaboration with Nike for his own version of the Dunk Hightops.

"This is one of the most amazing moments," AM tweeted earlier this year. "I just HELD the sample of MY OWN NIKE DUNK. I never dreamed this would happen. Wow, THANK YOU G0D."

As you should all know by now DJ AM was found dead earlier this year, on August 28th, in his NYC apartment from what many have claimed a drug overdose.

As you may or may not know, DJ AM was working closely with Nike on a new pair of Dunks for the East/West Rivalry Pack.

Well, photos of the limited kicks hit the internet recently, building anticipation for their release.

The DJ AM and Nike collaboration has produced this black and red Dunk, but it's unfortunate that the late DJ isn’t around to see the product that bears his name make it to production.

No word yet if - or when - these kicks will be hitting our Australian shores.

Reflect

For those of you whom read my thoughts (a lot), you should really pay attention to the lyrics noted at the end of each post.

Because those words often reflect my life more than what I write about.

Funny that.

Night,

I'm Not Interested

Last night I celebrated my twenty-third birthday and despite all the constant teasing and questioning, a wave of relief went through me,
when seeing who showed up to dinner and not seeing him.

I'm glad that last night he did not show up
the boy from Saturday

The constant questioning will not get my friends anywhere
to say "I'm not interested" does not get taken lightly around here

And now there's someone else who's come back into my life
Five years on
Someone whom I haven't seen
I dont know who he is...
Anymore

What if i bring him back into my life
But something happens?

Good or bad,
I think it is a big risk

It seems as though he is chasing me,
Five years on
As compared to me,
chasing him
Five years back...

But the more i think about it
The less i want it to happen

Because of this, my friend says I'm a strange cookie.
What do you think?

In a contemplative mood,

Twenty-Three

In three days, on Thursday(17th December), I will be turning twenty-three and a celebration of dinner with my closest friends is really the only thing I want.

A night where we can relax, chill out,talk (about Saturday night I'm sure) and laugh til we cry.

When a girlfriend was organising my present, she asked if there was anything in particular I wanted and I responded by telling her "nothing.. Just for everyone to show up!"

That's all I would ever want for each birthday I tend on celebrating in the years to come.

No tiffany necklaces
No DJ heroes.

There's no need for the materialistic things

Sure they're pretty but looks fade and they'll no longer be thought of it as shiny and pretty.

If I learnt anything after the weekend trip away in Coffs Harbour, it's that these are the people that I am meant to share and experience life with and I don't want to lose them or ever risk losing them ever again...

In deep thought,

Beneath Those Clouds..

last night turned out to be pretty crazy
celebrating the night away
of a girl turning twenty-three
a girl whose night lived up to the hype
and everyone's expectations...
thank goodness!

she consumed a lot of drinks,
did some dancing,
got a shout out from the dj/mc
received a birthday kiss...

but when she woke up this morning
through the cloudiness of her mind
and alcohol still in her system,
beneath those clouds
she found herself thinking about someone
who wasn't there last night
but she sure as hell wishes he was.
