Nike and Kobe, Perfect Together

     Nike has been really stepping up their commercial game with a bunch of new commercials that are creative and entertaining.  Following the release of their new soccer commercials, they featured a new Kobe commercial that showcases his career highlights as he is on his quest for his fifth title.  (Check the Barkley cameo holding up a zero, which is how many titles he has, ha.)
     Along with the new commercial, Nike has also released a new color way of Kobe's signature Nike sneaker, the Kobe Zoom V.  It's called the Big Stage Editon and the all white, gold, and clear sneaks pay tribute to the finals and Kobe's career highlights with laser etching on the white upper.  These are some of the cleanest looking sneaks I've seen in a while and is a must get.  Not to mention, one of the most comfortable kicks out there.  The gold accents reminds everyone that there is a very nice piece of hardware on the line as the two previous NBA champs do battle in this year's final.  Ties right into the golden Finals logo and uniform patches.  The Nike Kobe commercial and pictures of the sneaks can both be found here.

Get That Crap Out of the Fridge

     I'm the first one to say mayo makes it better and who can argue against spreadable fat?  Thought so, but we all know that's a one way ticket to heart attack city.  When trying to be healthier and help your body out, dieting, exercising, you want to try and find shortcuts around anything.  If at least, simple tips to try and make it easier to eat healthier.  This article from WebMD gives a great run down of what foods to keep out of your fridge.  Of course, a lot of these items are our favorites, but everything in moderation usually works.....unless you're on this top ten list, ha!

OG Stars Wars Trilogy told in 2 Minutes........using Lego's

     Doesn't get much better than Star Wars and Lego's.  The partnership has been a long-standing one with tons of Lego Star Wars toys made, video games, and various other joint ventures.  I've seen pictures of giant Star Wars dioarama's that were created by loyal fans (and slick Lego architects - how they do that?).
This takes it to that next level with a summary of the Original Trilogy all in around 2 minutes.  You'll have to watch it a few times to hear the commentary of the characters, but it's worth listening to Darth tell Luke that he's his father....in not so many words.
