Pizza, all grown up...




I recently had a thought, what would life be without pizza? It seems as if since my childhood pizza has brought together my friends and family in the best of moments. From my 5th birthday party at Pizza Hut, to my childhood basketball championship party, or Domino’s pizza being delivered on Thursdays just in time for the family Cosby ritual, pizza has always been that pie in the sky to ease and cure my hunger.
In its simplicity, pizza naturally forms a circle of engagement that can spark and ignite conversation. After a night out at one of DC's hottest pizza bistro, Matchbox, I have realized that my favorite childhood meal has evolved into a sophisticated dinner for couples and friends. As "Foodies", my wife and I have frequented many of the DC metro's hip new pizzerias around town. Three of my favorites are Piola, Ellas Wood Fire Pizza, and Matchbox mentioned above.
Each has its own unique style and wit. The settings of these pizzerias are laced with fun and sophistication. If there was a zodiac sign to describe these locations I would say Gemini. One side appeals to the family atmosphere, allowing each family member to extend their personal options to their own personal pizza. Enables them to place their stamp of character in the midst of family to contribute to the overall identity. The other face is a bold nightlife, filled with lush wine offerings, eclectic alcohol mixers and a clash of cultures for those who have the desire to mingle and enjoy lounge style atmospheres. Therefore if you are in the mood for pizza, refuse the urge to get it delivered, instead deliver yourself to one of these locations, and experience the newest modern grown up experience, pizza!

Shoe Game...
During the Thanksgiving Holiday, I traveled to visit "the Beautiful People" of Martinsville, VA. We had a blast with our friends and family enjoying the festivities surrounded by giving thanks to those things that God has blessed us with. With every Thanksgiving there is eating, drinking, partying, and above all else SHOPPING. I find it amazing that people brave madness, chaos, and rudeness to get the latest tech toy at the "lowest" price available. One word for that, BRAVE!!
I on the other hand was not so brave to venture out on Black Friday as I ventured to the retail jungle on Saturday, and waded through the aftermath of the Friday shopping explosion. We began our expedition at the Four Seasons Town Center in Greensboro, NC. Immediately I knew what this trip was meant to be, an upward buildup of my SHOE GAME... While meandering through the mall, I found the coolest shoe store of the SOUTH, JARMAN. The fresh black suede PUMAs you see in photo above came from this store. Rarely, do you find stores where the people are cool, and are able to suggest the right SHOE GAME to fit your unique style. So if you are in the G'BORO, check it out..
A person's shoe game in my opinion is a direct link to a person's character. We often sacrifice comfort, for style. Then we see those shoe disasters in which style is totally compromised for comfort. Whatever the case may be, shoes are just that shoes. It is a shame that in our culture kids are being harassed for the shoes that are not wearing, and robbed or even killed for the shoes they are wearing. No matter what the shoe remember to commit to being beautiful, both inside and out.
If you have recently up'd your SHOE GAME, or anything in your fashion wardrobe post a pic, or hit me up on my Facebook with the details.
