GANT - Homerun Jacket

Thanks to WHARF for letting me pre-order this amazing jacket... The fit is spot on, although you must size up at least one size (this is a large for reference).

Just dig the architecture... not much else going on here... basically a three walled structure with a fully glass front and back... you can literally see through the entire structure to the other side of the street.  All the inventory is located inside the slim walls that open up...

Random Thought...

last night at the gym I was listening to the Drake album, (this has nothing to do with Drake, FYI) and about three songs in I stopped and immediately thought of the Kanye songs that have been released from the new album and been featured in Runaway.

The thought that popped into my head was that while I enjoy(ed) Drake this summer and still, Kanye's music is equivalent to a movie soundtrack in my mind.  The production, the beats, the depth is INSANE compared to anyone/thing else... no question about it.  I mean every song featured in Runaway film was a soundtrack to the scene.  The build, strings, drums, soul samples, everything is not new to Ye, but yet he always finds a way to tell a story with his music sans lyrics.  You could take the instrumentals from every song and drop them into a great movie and evoke emotion...

Play Drake - "Miss Me" then,
Play Kanye - "Devil in a New Dress"

let me know which one tells a story...Random but needed to be said.

Black Rims?

this photo is making me contemplate some matte black rims for the S4... thoughts?  Too played out...? "I'm old enough to know the right car, but grown enough not to put rims on it..."

These are some shots I took for an upcoming project of theirs.  If you like to cook, like to eat, or just like to look at great looking food on your computer screen, check out ThePauperedChef.com.
