HS Senior.

Was mad as hell cuz I transferred from an inner city HS to a fancy predominately white prep school. Looking back, it wasn't so bad. I was just heated thatI didn't get the opportunity to graduate with folks I grew up with.

[da future nike rep]

Yep, that was my 1st official year in starting my sneaker collection. I always loved kicks however i was infatuated when i saw individuals actually keepingtheir shoeboxes. For some reason that was extremely interesting to me because i never knew that people did that! I was in junior high school, upset because imissed out on the blk/grey/red air jordan iv retros that dropped in may so therefore i was getting myself ready for the air jordan iv retro inwhite/cement-grey june release date.

I remember that year Nas video "Nas Is Like" had came on rap city and to this day i still think that is one of premos best beats ever!! Nas rippedit btw so that made it even better!
I had fun, that was a pretty cool year...

[ooiron manoo]

Damn, 10 years,

I don't even know where time went.

1999 was the end of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year of high school.

I got my first legit job,

, flippin' burgers at Carls Jr.

USC beat UCLA,

, ending the streak.

All I cared about in '99 was making sure the "hooptie" ran, and hanging out with my friends. Football was priority #1, and senior year was

. Worked just to scrape up enough cash to pay for all the senior year"stuff" and scoop up some nice kicks (Garnett III's, White/Carolina XIV Lows, White/Black/Red V's, Black/Red IV's

). Going overboard with the PDA with my hs girlfriend

....

.

Damn, 10 years just flew, like that.

1999.

Wow son...I was about to turn 15, living in Baltimore. Sophomore year of high school. Randallstow High...the school was built for 2000 students but like 8000kids went there. I used to walk 2 miles to school and show up late everyday cause catching a ride on the cheese bus was +*#$!$+ impossible, cats sitting fourto a seat, standing up in the aisle and **@%. I remember the cool kids would skip lunch and go to the library to look up lyrics on www.ohhla.com. Everyone waspissed at how wack Jay-Z's Vol. 3 album was. My Uncle Ray would always come through and tell me stories about the Marines and growing up...dude ishilarious.

My Grandma, Aunt and Trina stayed like 5 minutes down the road in Carriage Hill. I think Scary Movie came out that year...we all went to see it and my Aunt wasbugging at how wild it was. Videogame wise, me and my brother would play this Official Playstation Magazine demo disc that had Tony Hawk Pro Skater on it...itwas only a 2 minute demo but we played that **@% for hours everyday. I was still playing Metal Gear Solid and Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Dreamcast was about todrop...everyone was bugging at how powerful it was going to be. Clothing wise, I was still a broke high school kid so I had a pair of Air Max 97's my Unclecopped for me in Jersey winter break '98. Had some Buttas (Wheat Timbs), and a pair of black on black 1's. That was like the uniform back then.

Juvenile had just dropped I think...all the Wu Tang 5% cats were slowly converting to other forms of rap. That Columbine **@% happend and all the copy catswent crazy. We had a bomb threat like ever class period...we would get out mad early and just wander around. One day we got out early and some kid found thisgirls body behind the school that had been missing for a few weeks. Chick used to sit in front of me in my Algebra 1 class. I remember like 20 year old +%+*!*being in my freshman and sophomore classes.....they were funny as HELL, always clowning on people. I used to cut my own hair but sucked so I would just gobald....cats used to call me Charlie Brown cause of how big my head is, or Can't Do Right cause I STAYED in trouble lol. I used to hustle candy in schoolall day....Jolly Ranchers, Snickers, Dum-Dums...it got so bad that my Spanish teacher had to ask me to stop cause it was disrupting our hallway. We went to aSpanish Club for a field trip one time. Ignorant #*# kids stole mad bottles from the bar and was getting faded on the bus back to school.

I remember a lot of people dying, like you would go to school one day and people would just be missing the next. My Algebra teacher was Ananda Lewis fromMTV's roomate in college...used to always talk about her...think she was gay. I remember seeing the Jordan XIV's for the first time...joint looked likea spaceship.


Man...I kinda miss those days. Getting old ftl.
