Things I like about shoes

My last few blog entries, in my opinion, have been pretty solid. I've covered timely issues, created games, talked about things that are on the back burner of society but important to me. It's been a good week.

But now what? Much like President-Elect Barack Obama (tee hee! it won't get old saying that I don't think) must now face the reality of his first presidential term and come down from the high of his big win...I too must think about what to do with my blog now. I reached a high point...but it wasn't the peak...it was simply a plateau. There are better things to come. Don't worry. Stay on board!

That being said, today I am blogging about shoes! OH YES! SHOES!

Things I like about shoes:

1) Seperate my foot from poop. This might sound confusing...I mean do I live in a pile of poop? Or do I just poop on the ground and walk around in it? Am I often in an environment where poop abounds? No, not really...though there was that one time. Well, I don't want to talk about it. No I don't. But I do live in New York City...and well...anything goes here. Poop happens and so it's nice to know that if I should happen upon some feces my foot won't be covered in it, just the shoes that I'm wearing (baruch hashem) will.



2) Complete an outfit. You know, I've always said that shoes make an outfit...and can you really disagree with me? +
?

NO.

CUTE!!!

3) Can tell you a lot about a person. I definitely think you can make some surface judgments of people based on the shoes they're wearing. Heck, even Forrest Gump thinks that shoes are an important indicator of a person (no seriously, I watched it last Thursday and he said that. HE DID. !). Personally, I like that my shoes...um...make people think things about me and give people clues about where I've been. If I'm taking the subway at 6:30, wearing khakis a sweater and flats people can guess that I'm coming from work or am a working-type of girl.

Or, if I'm wearing jeans, a bra and high heels people can guess that I'm on my way to a crazy sex party.


Obviously I don't talk to people and tell them myself what I'm doing or what I like or who I am...so my shoes should do that for me.

4) Cute! Aren't shoes just adorable. Well, not all peoples' shoes are cute but mine definitely are. They're like little baby chicks or kids with lisps...I just want to pinch their little cheeks! Well, not the cheeks of the ducks because they'd probably bite me with their bills and I don't even think ducks have cheeks.




5) Help you walk. I don't know if this is really true, but Jamie pointed it out to me and I like to give shout outs in here. I guess shoes do help you walk, in a way. I mean, I hope that all of you out there can walk without shoes...since that's a basic body function and all. But I guess shoes help you walk on broken glass without getting injured and help you walk on pavement when it's really cold outside...or help you step into puddles without getting your feet wet or help you walk through snow without losing toes to frostbite. In a way, shoes DO help you walk and since I haven't saved up enough money to a) buy a private jet or b) have someone carry me around, that's useful to me.

6) Help with posture. If you get the right pair of shoes I think they can improve your posture. That's a good thing, right?
