I know what you mean, man! I don't give a shit about name brand shoes anymore, so I decided to go cheap before and buy sneakers at Wal-Mart. I made that mistake 3 times before realizing that they're a waste of money for the amount of wear and tear I put on my shoes. A good pair of sneakers will last me close to 2 years before falling apart. Wal-Mart sneakers never made it past the 6 month mark on my feet.

Those sneaks are damn comfy, too! Can't wait to test them out on my next walking expidition.

^ SAme here man

I now buy them at sporting good stores on end of season liquidation sales for dirt cheap

Yeah i hated to pay 70 bucks for my DC shoes....

but they have lasted me for over 2 years now, and honestly, will probably make it through at least one more winter before they get retired.

so sometimes it is worth it to pay more for higher quality product.

last night i wore my new shoes for the first time. bought them almost a month ago, but they are summer shoes and i didnt wanna ruin them by walking around in the snow.
we had a thaw tho, so there is pretty much no snow left, for now.

they are fuzzy red plaid converse all stars. originally $40 but i got them for $15 on sale!

i'm always wearing heavy duty shoes that does not look too good.
i like to have the possiblity to walk everywhere.. or i feel slowed by my things - and that's definitly not a good thing in my mind.


i will wear nice shoes for special occasion.. but only for those.

what happened with your job gore?

I quit. It was a long time coming, but the straw completely annihilated the camels back and I said, "Fuck this place, I quit" and walked out. I could write a book describing the horrible working conditions, insane expectations by management, the way they managed through fear and intimidation, and just a complete lack of respect for their employees. A person can only be pushed so far before snapping...and I finally reached my breaking point.

It was stupid of me to leave without having another job to fall back on. Not something I have ever done in the past. Nor, will I ever do it again.

Yah Keith, how's the job hunt going, any good news ?

I've been out of work for 3 weeks this Thursday and I haven't had so much as a single phone call or job interview. However, this might change very soon. My cousin sent me a message on Facebook today saying the insurance company he works for is going to be hiring in a few weeks and I should apply. So I went to their site and applied a few minutes ago. It's an inbound call center...which I always said I'd never work another call center again. This place seems different, so far. And, a job is a job, right? They start you off at $11.66 per hour and you get a raise after 3 months. Plus, there are yearly bonuses of up to $6,000.00, and if you make your quota in sales, you earn commissions. My cousin said hitting your target for sales is easy...and I've had success with sales in the past.

The insurance company is Admiral Insurance. He told me that we only take calls from the UK. Scotland, Wales, England, etc. And 90% of the calls coming in are customers who applied for insurance online and want to process their order on the phone.

Oh, and another awesome thing about that place is you get full medical and dental benefits from DAY ONE of starting the job! My teeth will certainly thank me for that!!

So I have a new love interest! Her and I have only been talking for less than 2 weeks, and cue that corny line, it feels like we've known each other much longer.

We have already met in the flesh, and spent 5 hours together doing simple things. Enjoying a nice hot tea together while we talked and she showed me the new, sexy shoes she just bought. We ended up back at her place where she drank 2 beer and I drank...uhhh...7. While enjoying our beer, we watched the first 2 episodes of season 1 of True Blood. She's a big fan of the show, and I hadn't seen it before. I'm liking what I see in the show, and in her, so far!

After feeding me a lovely dinner of pasta with a red, meaty sauce and cheesy garlic bread, we cuddled like two love birds on the couch together. I knew I had to kiss this woman! I looked at her and smiled and said, "You know, you have the cutest little nose I think I have ever seen!" and I leaned in and gave her a nose a little kiss on the tip. When I pulled back, her eyes and body language screamed, "Kiss me!" So we mutually leaned in together for one hell of a long kiss, after kiss, after kiss...with the residual pull-backs, giggles, and goofy smiles.

That was last Sunday. We had no plans to meet up again until this weekend coming. Yet, after chatting with her again and again, she asked me if I would like to come and spend the night at her place on Wednesday. You bet I would!!

But honestly, I am going to do my BEST to be a gentleman and not have sex just yet. I know, I know, I hear you guys laughing. How can two sexually active adults share the same bed and NOT have sex?

I don't know the answer to that question either. If I figure it out, I'll let you all know!
