Adidas Samba Millenium: February 2016 – April 2021

“Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes” … or kicked or danced!

In 2013, I was wearing Adidas Gazelle shoes. They were too hot but they looked alright.

I wanted a new pair.

Then one night in the Rivlin(?) square in Jerusalem in early 2016,  I chatted with a religious fellow, Yaakov(?), wearing Adidas Samba. This friendly, agile chap liked his shoes, and so did I.

He appeared to be playing footbag too!

Soon after I bought a pair from Ebay. Interestingly, while he wore Samba, I chose Samba Millennium instead.

At that time I started to teach myself the Melbourne Shuffle. I wasn’t very good, but I felt obliged to do so given I was from Melbourne and Party Rock Anthem had been big for a while at that point.

Designed for indoor soccer, the shoes were too heavy for easy dancing. The leather stayed in good shape because I regularly used Sno-Seal on them, even enabling me to use them successfully at Mount Buller in May 2020.

The shoes held together really well until April 2021 when I retired them to the trash because ultimately the soles gave out.

At least I outlived them and they didn’t outlive me!

Kaytranada – I DONT (2020)

Clean Kill / KleenKill

(last updated: 8 December 2021)

After the bullet has left the barrel, you only have one worry left: getting away with it!

Once the trigger has been pulled, the aftermath can last a lifetime… or more… so call an expert!

Bumping off the fella is the easy part! Fully stitching him up is the hard bit!

* an imaginative, fictional and speculative story that may be relevant to the real world.

Sinical Bastard: The ends justify the means.. you know that!
Gunman: What’s he done again?
SB: Nothing really (brushes down suit).. well not yet anyway!
Gunman: Why am I here then? Remind me.
SB: Because if he lives, I’ll die.
Gunman: From who? (looks up) I don’t get it.
SB: It’s not what he’s done, it’s what I, ahem we, have already done to him… and he doesn’t know yet!
Gunman: That’s the past. And you know the future too?
SB: The future is in the past. [raises eyebrow.. he’s running a con job and thinks he is omniscient. He puts his wisdom into dark outcomes.]
Gunman: So kill or be killed, I should get the two of them then? (looks through finder) Wait, he is holding a parabolic microphone! Just joshin’!
SB: (unamused) Just pin it to win it.
Gunman: So the only blowback will be from my gun?
SB: Yep. I’m in the business of Blowback Management of Future Ghosts…
Gunman: …or angels. Maybe you should die!?
SB: Give me that gun for a minute!
Gunman: Give me that watch for a lifetime! [points at SB’s high-priced Swiss watch]
SB: Deal!
[trigger pulled]
SB: It’s okay, he had barely any friends anyway. All his communications were cut.
Gunman: And any remaining friends?
SB: They’ll get the full-story about this guy in the media. Crisis actors, CGI – everything.
Gunman: Hush money, threats, gangstalking — all that works too.
SB: I know, I know. But it’s not really clean then.
