Only the best for those dogs.

good shit, Luda. If I had bread like that, I'd definitely do that kind of stuff. I try to do random things for random people when I can and the opportunity arises...obviously on a much smaller scale, though. That little money wasn't shit to him, but it made her day...shit, her month. Good for him. Good for her.

9. "Every few months I buy a pair of shoes for someone random" In response to Reply # 7
Usually it's a kid whose mom is obviously stressed about the purchase or telling them they have to choose between X and Y or can't afford Y because it costs more than X when Y is what they really want. Only once it was sort of a kickback, I was at a Ross over on the west side and was chatting with a college-aged kid about shoes. At the time they had a lot of un-used NBA player samples making the rounds for about $25 and I bought as many as I could. He found a pair I missed--it was made for KG--that was worth about $250. I thanked him and then we were in line together, I was a few spots ahead of him. I told him not to wait in line and throw his Js on my tab. But overall I look for kids or people who need shoes for work and are sweating it out. It's a nice feeling, especially when people are appreciative.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I mentioned in that last Sneakerhead post I made that I had pretty much gotten rid of everything that wasn't an actual basketball shoe. All my low joints were gone, with the exception of multiple pairs of Kobe 11 Elites. There is a kid who attends my homeboy's church. Good kid, by all accounts. Works, gets decent grades. My potna said he has a couple pairs of Js, but they look kinda rough. I know what it feels like to be in high school and not have nice kicks. I hit him off with about 10 pairs of Air Max 90's, Asic Gel Lyte, various models of New Balance. It doesn't take much to really make someone happy.

I do Lyft on the weekends, and I picked up a woman who just lost her security job. She was telling me her whole life story and she nearly cried when she got out the car. I told her I'll see what I can do.
I talked to the security guard at my job and he called the agency and mentioned her name. Long story short she texted me God Bless You this morning because she'll have a new security gig starting Monday night.
Damn shame there's so many selfish ass bastards in the world
