Here is a collection
of Nike SB wallpaper I have saved over the years from various websites. These wallpapers are nice because they have
the top of the sneaker box motif. As a
bonus I’ve also included an elephant print wallpaper.

‘47 Twins Toronto Blue Jays Retro Hat
I’ve been trying to
upload a regular post about hats for a while now but have been delayed all
summer thanks to trips and activities.
But today I finally had a few hours to organize my hats, take pictures,
and even make a video. This blog post is
about my Blue Jays 47 Brand hat, and it’s funny because I actually took these
pictures in the beginning of summer and I’m finally writing about it now in the
end of summer. It seems appropriate though
because the Jays are the boys of summer, and I spent this summer watching the
team.
What’s also funny is
that I have a large 47 Brand collection, and this is the second time I’m
mentioning a hat from them. I guess it’s
because I’ve been collecting way too many New Era fitteds over the last couple
of years. However the truth is I love 47
Brand and there’s not a week that goes by that I don’t wear a Franchise hat.
This Blue Jays hat is
particularly important to me because it’s a retro version of my hometown
team. It represents the logo version I
grew up watching and all the achievements the team had while using it. The Franchise model is a hundred percent
cotton, while the bill or brim uses plastic.
These two features not only make the hat comfortable, but also durable. Unfortunately, this version of the hat has
now been updated and no longer exists which makes me very thankful that the
durability of 47 Brand hats will mean this hat will last me for years.

Nintendo Wii U Legend of Zelda Deluxe Bundle
Okay I pulled the
trigger today and finally bought a Wii U.
This decision was not without previous reflection. The truth is I was avoiding the Wii U because
of its lack of games, but more specifically adult themed games. I just felt like I would be missing so many
games exclusive to Sony or Xbox One by buying a Wii U. But then as time went on, I noticed Nintendo
was staying the same, while the other consoles were changing. The other consoles were focusing on online
play (something I don’t do), DLC (something I hate), social media (something
that is useless to me), and focusing on games I suck at (shooters). And it
was then that I decided I wanted to support the company that made games that
were fun to play with, inspiring and colorful, and that were easy to play. I also bought the Zelda bundle because the
Wii U is now cheaper, and I had some gift cards. At the end of the day, I’m happy with this
decision.

Peaches
About
2 years ago, I had to remove my long-time peach tree from my backyard. It had been there for years, but
unfortunately I had to remove it because it had a nasty disease (leaf curl). After I removed it I decided to buy another
peach tree and hope for the best. Unfortunately
this new tree never produced any fruit last year. So today, finally after almost 3 years
without any peaches I am now enjoying the fruits of my labour. This new tree has given me buckets full of
peaches that are juicy and sweet. While
I do enjoying peaches as a snack, my favorite way to consume them is as
smoothies. The recipe is very easy, all you need is a mixer (I use the magic bullet):
1.
Ripe peaches (peel the skin, cut the peach in pieces, and freeze them in bags)
2.
Orange Juice
3.
Yogurt
4.
Sugar or honey
Fill the mixing cup or bowl full of frozen
peaches, and then add to taste some orange juice, yogurt and sugar. The end result is something so delicious it
will make you look forward to the end of summer every year.
