Farewell 2009

As the year draws to an end, i cant help be reflect on the last year of my life. And i most say its been a good year. I started the year with a small circle of friends now i am ending it with a bigger circle but minus one person. i have been truly blessed in 2009. I start my final year of Uni, Finished. Got a very good degree, I graduated completing the circle of my family. I got my drivers licence, I started Freelance worker, the plans for a business were set into motion. I created this blog. I have been truly blessed. Amongst all my blessings. I lost one of my dearest friends *RIP Anneta*.

This year i saw a lot of my favourite artist: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Mos Def, Q-Tip. It was a good year, got closer with my family and my friends. I joined Twitter this year and met some interesting and incredible people in there own way. This year i also lost contact with a lot of people, i used to think were friends. I met a special lady, lost her to circumstances out of my control. Met another Lady and we will see what the new year brings.

All i can say about this year is that God was with me through out. so i give credit were credit is due. Without Him i wont have achieved any of the things i did. So to God, I thank you for every breath i took this year and the ones i will continue to take.

As a new year dawns, i am not really a fan of new years resolutions because they mostly get broken so i have set myself tasks that need to be accomplished with my focus and dedication i will see them through. I also will blog alot more, i have been lazy but i will kick that habit. Hopefully some interesting topics, new trends, designs and others.

I will draw this post to and end by saying this, Praise God and thank him for all he has done. alot of people started this year and not everyone is ending it. Be thankful in everything you do. your life could be a whole lot worse. Well till 2010. I wish you and your families a Happy and Properous New Year.

Watch Who You Associate With

The theme of this post is another one of those topics that always seem to be around me, I tweeted about it a little while back but I felt it needed a quick blog post, "Association breeds similarity" this is a popular saying I hear this regularly in songs & read it in books. This statement also comes with biblical references, check out Proverbs 13:20. As humans no matter your mind set we are influenced by elements in our environment especially who we associate with.

The choices we make when it comes to association can potentially determine where we end up or how we become. Hanging around negative associates brings a negative aura around you. Picture this, if your main associates are scare mongers, they will instill fear into you whenever you have an idea and it could possibly make you miss out on a good opportunity. Avoid spending time with negative associates the effect they have on you is a lot more damaging than you think. I can attest that hanging around with negative associates turns your actions into negative ones.

Choosing the right kind of associates is crucial to your development."A man only learns in two ways, one by reading, and the other by association with smarter people" as the quote states by hanging around with intelligent people or driven people, their intelligence or drive rubs off on you which is a good thing well unless you are not interested in bettering yourself. A change in associates changes the way you view things and it inspires you to better yourself and your understanding.

In Conclusion, getting rid of associates is never an easy thing but if they are not bringing value to your life what is the point, you are better off with people that will inspire to greatness

5 Favourite Sneaker Brands at the Moment

Ok Looking at the post i have published, i realized i havent acually talked about one of my biggest passions "Sneakers", considering the name of the blog and my twitter page (@GeekySneaks). Majority of the people that know me, know i dnt play when it comes to my shoe game. I am going to run through my 5 favourite brands at the moment.

Brand 1 - Nike:

I had to start of the list with Nike. I have love them since the air '95 (Cool Gray/Neon Yellow - My first ones) to the TN's but love for Nike deepened when i got my first ever AF1's all white with a the white and gray sole. After those well lets say i went on a very long AF1 phase. Still love them -



Brand 2 - Supras:

i got into this brand last year and it was love at first sight, the SkyTops, Vaiders and TK Society. love them all. They have some of the nicest colourways i have seen. the new 09 holiday collection looks sooo sick -


Brand 3 - Adidas:

I actually dont own a pair, dont think i ever have but i am loving their new approach, i am feeling the Jeremy Scott ones, they are nuts. i am huge fan of the collabo they did with Def Jam esp the Young Jeezy ones -



Brand 4 - Fila

They practically brought themselves back from the dead. Their F-13 and F-14 line are sick, the variety they have is nuts. My personal favourite is the Fila Italia High tops. Very nice collection -



Brand 5 - Osiris

I recently found out about theses. i love the whole skateboard feel and look (although i cant skate to save my life). they have odd mixtures of colours but they work -



So those are my 5 favourite brands at the moment.

Till next time
