Much props to you Zenith. I knew you were going to make it. I know you feel you got a lot of gaps to fill but you will fill them. As for me, I'll be getting in the shoe design biz real soon too.

Zen,
you've come a long way in a shot time man. I remember when you first stated off on niketalk..it seems like so long ago but it really wasn't. I could see you had that passion for shoes then but now it's more than obvious. I'm truly happy for you. I wish you the best and I'm sure this only the beginning.
Can't wait to see what you've been doing.
I love stories like that.
Easy.

Zenith, you made it, my friend! Glad to finally hear all the details, and looking forward to watching your future unfold. All of us admire your skills, but I admire as much as anything the way you keep your heart and mind on the Lord, and so often allow people to see that part of you. Continue to make your glory His, and His will be yours!

Zenith~ Congratulations on never having to work a DAY AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! (kind of...lol) This is awesome. I love to see passion come to fruition.

usanet21, what's your email? // Michael, yes, T-Mac was a genuinely nice guy -- laid back, and seemed to be very kind to everyone around him. He was very willing to talk and answer any questions we asked. I didn't ask many questions, but my son did. While we were T-Mac go a call on his cell phone from one of his staff back home. The person was letting him know that his new rims had come in for his Escalade. My son was evesdropping and blurted out, "Tight! Are they spinners?" T-Mac laughed and said, "No, I'll just let that be Latrell's thing."
