Shoes

So I bought 2 pairs of shoes today. Thus making it 3 times the amount of shoes I would normally have at a time. This is what someone had to say about one of the pairs of shoes I bought:

"Walking with Reagan in Royal Oak - I knew I could expect comfort as well as quality when I purchased any Clark shoe. However, as a 76 year old walker, I am extremely pleased to take my morning walk enjoying the comfort of my Reagan shoes by Clark. Congratulations to the employees who make Clark shoes. They will get a remembrance in my prayers as I walk!!"

I think I made the right decision.

Same as it ever was?

i know the last thing you need is another bullshit rant from me about politics but i really need to blurt something out. this is so fucking awful. millions and millions will suffer because of the consequences of this election. our country will be put back 25 years because of the new supreme court appointees. we have no choice but to wait for these idiots to die before we even have a chance to initiate an attempt at change not to mention the steady downfall of the UN and the freezing of civil rights. oh, and those terrorists. you know, the real ones. its not just the election of the president. the balance of power in the senate and house are still in the grasp of the republicans. this is a firm showing of where the intentions of the country truly lay. the fuckers even made it personal with daschle. its not just a case of the ignorant voting for dubya. the new england mentality of educational superiority as an excuse is wearing thin. if we cannot comprehend that we must share our humanity with people from all aspects of life and beliefs we are doomed to what is happening to the middle east. albeit a prettier version of it. if this isn't a late snooze alarm call for the dawn of the new age of civilization i don't know what is. we must put these ignorant, self indulgent, and ultimately amoral beliefs out for good. religion cannot rule our country. yes, we did ultimately get rid of slavery and soften various social injustices but we did it with blood. we can't afford to do that in this day and age. it seems easier to move to europe where people are some 20 years ahead of us culturally instead of staying in a nation that i have little respect --and thus allegiance too. a good friend of mine asked what i did to help kerry out. other than vote, you probably know my answer. i will definitely donate money in the next election and do my best to get that douche bag mitt romney out of office. i will also offer to pay for giving obama steroids in order for him to take on arnold. besides that, i am out of ideas. i am very overwhelmed right now.


i would gladly trade the Red Sox victory for this one.

--cause, they'll win next year anyways.
