Leopard..!!

A rainy Sunday... Dan visits Nike Town and Purchases a nice pair of WMNs Trainers..!!



Spiz'ikes MoFos..!! Too many pairs of Spiz'ikes but i love them sooo much..

"Those are such DAN Colours" (Emma Vi)

Anyways I wanted to take the time and explain Leopard in Dim's MiND..!!



Apple Leopard Link

Don't you hate it when people say New & Improved, The Best One Out Yet, or in this case.. The Most Impressive OS X to date..

Well of course it is the most impressive it is the bloody latest version, if it wasn't the best or most impressive people wouldn't even bother getting it. People need to think about how they word these things.

Well my opinion of the operating system, it's quicker, sexier and much easy to navigate.. (No Apples Aren't Hard To Use)

People need to use an apple and see how inferior Windows is compared to it...

The new added features are soo helpful, simple stuff like Stacks gives u faster and easier navigation. Time machine not really used it but helps a lot if you always download shit and delete stuff by accident.

Overall it's worth investing in if u have a mac... And it is worth investing in a MAC just for this.!!

Peace Check Back Later..!! Probs get some photo's of the ID Studio for u @ Nike..!!

Can't be arsed to do a funny/entertaining blog... I'll try to hit u guys up next one ^^

Aspire To Inspire..?!?

Well usually I write a Title to the blog then I write the blog around that title...

But this one blog took me a while to give it a title..

I had a few in mind...

Art of Seduction..
Timeless..
Wasteman...

A few more so I decided to use one of my Dan Quotes... "Aspire To Inspire"..

I forgot when I came up with it, but I live by that phrase...

Well it's going to be another educational post. I'm going to educate you all in what us economists call Opportunity Cost... (If you do Economics you'll know this comes up a lot)

Being a student, there is an opportunity cost. I could be out making money and flossing like the 7th letter of the alphabet. Being a student isn't a waste of time it's investing in my future. Thats what entrepreneurs know how to do best, INVEST..!!

"Entrepreneurs are the celebrities of the business world, but they're also at the grass roots of economic growth. These individuals drive industry and commerce forwards." Times Online :- Entrepreneur

With that quote it makes sense to my whole life haha. Some of you may see me as a role model, or some sort of celebrity.. (I Wish!!)

Well you want to know why I was going to call this blog Timeless... Well, in conjunction with my last post I wanted to once again talk about trainers & streetwear..

I've realised that streetwear is one of the only parts of fashion which is timeless. People seek older models, dead stock, last seasons clothing. Why ? Because they like the fact you can't purchase it any more... Look around you when your out or sitting down enjoying a Starbucks whilst reading this ^^.. Everyone is more or less dressed the same.. (Girls esp..) H & M, Topshop, Primark, River Island, etc... All of their stuff are more or less the same..

Sneakers are even worse.. All them guys wearing Filas, mate step up your game look around you... Not all of the trainers I have are hard to find just look around more than your local JD store..!!

I'm going to tell you guys a funny story, or even an event that happened which I was watching.. Yesterday was Old Man Aaron's 22nd HAHAHA ... Happy B-day Man..!!

We went to a club, and I watched a guy try to chirpse a girl, who was dancing with her Fat friend. This guy walked up to them and slipped between then started dancing with the skinny one. In this case we going to call her Girl 1 and Fat girl, Girl 2. So he was dancing with girl 1 and she sat down so he decided to sit down, girl 2 felt awkward and went toilet. He offered to buy Girl 1 a drink, she was like No thanx I don't drink, when girl 2 came back he offered to buy her a drink she rejected as well. So he decided to ask Girl 1 to dance again, but she refused to get up and then he sat down to talk to her. As soon as he sat down she got up and started dancing with girl 2. The guy gets up and started getting close to girl 1. She was backing away and stuff then she sat down and the guy tried to pull her etc and she was pushing his face away..

You can learn a lesson from this Story... TAKE THE HINT AND LEAVE..!! Bloody Hell this guy got shot down more times than bloody fiddy..

Well, i'm probably boring you'll already... I'm going to drop this as a conclusion for this post..!!

The Schmoozer..

No one who spends more than a minute in your presence could fail to spot your ambition.

And that's about 60 seconds before they fall under your spell completely. You're a born extrovert, with social skills that most can only watch and envy. You're also a natural go-getter, who likes to make the most out of life – whether that's at home or at work. Your optimism and desire to achieve, influence and impress will always take you far.

That was a result from an online quiz @ Enterpreneur Quiz

Student Life...!!!

/Rantmode on..!!

Well It's been a year since I started Uni... It's has it's downs... getting some up's now ^^...

Was on my stupid 6 hour break (Thanx Emma) and thought I would educate others of how much time Dan actually wastes haha...

I'm only in Uni Monday, Wednesday & Thursday... Everyday I have Dirty 3 hour gaps and what do I do in these gaps...

CHECK HYPEBEAST & Highsnobiety..!! HAHAHA...

3 hours wasted nearly every other day waiting around for a Damn Lecture which I fall asleep in...

Wasteman doesn't even describe it...

Well during my 6 hour gap I was reading a forum about trainers (Yeah and WHAT?!)
Topic: What I Did As A Student?

Many post's were about being a bum and just being a DAN.. Getting High and etc..
Then it got technical how people couldn't afford trainers because they were students..!!

THATS NO FUCKING EXCUSE..!! Trainers = Life (Yes they are AARON lol) (Ryan u know)
Don't Go Out Drinking once in a while and there you go... A new pair of trainers... They aren't that expensive and if u get the limited run and keep it in Deadstock (DS) condition you can probably sell them for a bit more than u got them for...

Aite anyways..

/Rantmode off

off to clean my trainers to keep them in DS condition... Don't Hate Because I Don't Waste Money on Drinks and I look Fresh..!! HAHAHA..!!

Peace up..!!

Nothing But The Truth...!!

Man How Unlucky am I ?

Went Nike Town Early Morning today... Well Early Afternoon... Around 12...
They Dropped The "UNLUCKY"'s.. (Google that shit if u don't know what it is... Unlucky Dunk SB)Around 12:30... SOLD OUT By 1.!!!

Picked up some Maneki Neko Dunk Highs...

Here is a Little info about it..
The Maneki Neko ( literally "Beckoning Cat"; also known as Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money cat or Fortune Cat) is a common Japanese sculpture, often made of porcelain or ceramic, which is believed to give good luck to the owner. The sculpture depicts a cat beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed in stores, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. A raised right paw supposedly attracts money, while a raised left paw attracts customer



Pretty special for a Chinese or Japanese person... Other Westerns don't understand lol...

Nothing But The Truth... Man i'm such a waste... getting into all these trainers... But it's given me an insight to myself and the reason why I buy trainers...

I think it's to get me into that Happy spirit that I am always in, when I see my kicks I get an instant smile on my face...

Ahmed can back me up on this... every time I look at my trainers I get some good luck..!! Like when We never had enough money for Lunch.. I look at my trainers and i find £10...

Stay Fresh It Pays..!! HAHAHA...
Live Life The Dan Way...

Peace up Uni Tomoro man... Gay Can't Visit Nike Town Grrr..!!!

Isit Coz I'm Dan...!?!?

Well some of you probably remember me saying...

"It's Coz I'm Dan..!" It was a wicked excuse for everything... It caught onto a few people... and I love referring to myself in 3rd person.

2 Weeks ago.. I went to my mates B-day Party in Kingston/Richmond I dunno far countryside stuff..!! lol (Safe for invite Bro..)

Well I met a few of his friends and one of them (forgot his name), reminded me...

"It's Coz He's Dan.." And I met the guy no more than 1 hour...

I'm going to lay down this line again...

"Aspire To Inspire"... Thats what being Dan means lol... Yeah i'm full of myself etc etc...

As one of my role model says... "But with my ego, I can stand there in a speedo and be looked at like a fucking Hero.."

As I was drafting this post, I was thinking about what to wear tomoro..!! And my mother told me off for walking around the house in trainers and laughed at me...

Why isit wrong when a guy thinks about what he wants to wear the next day.??

Maybe it's a Dan thing but i'm sure some of you guys decide the day before...!!!

But my outfit was slacking a little... I'm going to take a pic... (No Co-ordination @ all)... (Don't Correct My Tense's and stuff... I Drafted this)

What The Dunks.!!!

As you all know by now I kinda class myself as a 'Sneakerhead'

Some of you may say, meh Dan "Your just a wannabe your a f**king Hypebeast"...

Anyways I don't give a crap hahaha... Today I Went Down To Nike Town (NT) for the release of What The Dunks (WTD)

As you All Know it rained in the morning etc... Felt like Crap...

So you ask Why There Are No Pics if I q-ed up... Well I Never Got A Pair...

HAHAHA Laugh all u like... But it's the experience man ... Now i can call myself a sneaker head I waited for like 3 hours before they started handing out wrist bands...

95 Pairs/Wristbands were given out.... Me = 105 in the Q... PISSED No ?

Not at all Dan Looks up and says I could just get another pair to keep me happy... I didn't want them SB's <--- I HATE THEM..!! I just wanted it for the collection...

Not as pissed as some of the other heads who slept there last nite and just had to cut...




Courtesy of everyonesenemy Ebay Link

These are what i was Q-ing for... Look At the Price Shows u how much Hype they have..!! Shows you why it wasn't easy for me to get my hands on a pair...

20 Different pairs of SB's into one shoe... I Didn't like the design but the concept behind it... If you understand Dan, you'll know I don't buy something for their name... But more of the design and the concept behind it ...

Peace Out... Going Sleep Now...

Entrepreneurist..!!

It's Been A long Time..!!

But Yesterday I had my First Lecture in Entrepreneurship & Small Businesses. One of the most interesting thing's i've sat through in my life...

It Defined my Whole world for me ... Here are a few traits of Entrepreneur's :

* A desire to achieve: The push to conquer problems, and give birth to a successful venture.
* Hard work: It is often suggested that many entrepreneurs are workaholics.
* Desire to work for themselves: Entrepreneurs like to work for themselves rather than working for an organization or any other individual. They may work for someone to gain the knowledge of the product or service that they may want to produce.
* Nurturing quality: Willing to take charge of, and watch over a venture until it can stand alone.
* Acceptance of responsibility: Are morally, legally, and mentally accountable for their ventures. Some entrepreneurs may be driven more by altruism than by self-interest.
* Reward orientation: Desire to achieve, work hard, and take responsibility, but also with a commensurate desire to be rewarded handsomely for their efforts; rewards can be in forms other than money, such as recognition and respect.
* Optimism: Live by the philosophy that this is the best of times, and that anything is possible.
* Orientation to excellence: Often desire to achieve something outstanding that they can be proud of.
* Organization: Are good at bringing together the components (including people) of a venture.
* Profit orientation: Want to make a profit; but the profit serves primarily as a meter to gauge their success and achievement.

And as Schumpeter says "Entrepreneurs are Hero Figures"...

Once I heard this, I thought of myself, My role models... Everyone and everything around me. People i've influenced.. People who influence me..
