I think I might have a problem. I have way too many pairs of sneakers and I'm currently hell bent on getting as many pairs of Asics Onitsuka Tigers as I can. That doesn't necessarily make sense because I have to maintain a strict budget because of bills and responsibilities. However, I don't completely understand why my obsessive nature kicks in (no pun intended) when it does and it's only with sneakers. It might be due to the fact that I am a 31 year old man going on 15. I like to consider myself a relatively mature individual but I have the mentality of a teenager at times (most times). I have over 40 pairs of sneakers and only 3 pairs of shoes. I see them and I realize how much of a kid I really am. Better yet, they are examples of the mentality that I try to maintain. (At least that's how I try to
rationalize my obsession). I think that all the sneakers that I have are reminders to preserve a youthful exuberance, which includes an active life and having a bright outlook on all the things that I will soon come across. Like a child with his whole life ahead of him, it is important to keep positive expectations for the future. 
These particular sneakers are simple yet full of vibrant colors and they are a reflection of what I want in life. I greatly enjoy the simple things like spending time with family, learning and experiencing new things, and strengthening my relationship with GOD. Taking part in these simple blessings will always allow me to have a bright and hopeful outlook on life with nothing but gratitude. You know what? I thought my obsession with sneakers was a problem, looking at it now, I'm seeing it more as a possible solution. Who am I kidding? I'm just trying to justify my sneaker addiction.
Hi Dennis, I found this post funny, since it seems like there are a lot of women who just love shoes, and buy them like they are currency. I am not much of a shoe person. But I love one pair they are reebok princess tennis shoes. I will have to see if I can find a picture. I also love levi's 501 button up fly jeans. I will not wear anything else. My other favorite things when it comes to clothes is t-shirts. I love t-shirts with dog stuff on the front. Or dog sayings. Right now I am just trying to visualize you as the Imelda Marcos (sp), of our composition 2 class! :) see you in class or on here!
ReplyDeleteOh I also meant to come and say, my dogs or my fuzzy kids are also really spoiled, I let them get away with absolute murder! :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone has their vices. I'm not into shoes like you but I have a brother who is.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is anything wrong with a little obsession. You could be addicted to something much worse...LOL. My son is obsessed with K-swiss sneakers. I lost count after 40. My daughter is obsessed with UGG boots and purses. They are only 8 and 9. Needless to say, THEY ARE SPOILED ROTTEN....LOL. I say enjoy your youth and your obsession...LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. I am going to shop for some right now!!! Oh...crud. I forgot I am super financially challenged. Dannnnggg! These are ROCKin'!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Dennis! It just goes to show that not only are women into shoes but men also! By the way those shoes rock!!
ReplyDeleteI have gone to extreme legnths to get the latest from the greatest and I was already well into my 20's but now in my 30's with 2 kids that doesn't make sense to me (especially economically) but there's nothing like a fresh pair of kicks. It's the newness of it that make you feel brand new ( it's crazy how that works) I mean, you could have on an expensive Armani suit but if you shoes are dull and busted up it's not gonna look right. So the shoes make the outfit and in many cases the man
