A REAL man has great shoes!

I am a shoe person. Not only do I choose to have fly kicks, as on-the-reg as possible, I also love to look at other people's shoes. See it? Shoe... Person! I look at peoples shoes all the time. It's a wonderful judge of character, actually.

When my roomie and I were talking about a guy at the gym, I was like, "The guy with back high-top Jordans?", and she was like, "I have no idea, weirdo, I have never looked at his shoes."

Guys should always have fresh shoes. There's not much variety in "jeans and a shirt", and you can only have so many polo's and graphic tees. The only way to truly differentiate yourself is to have kick ass shoes. All the time. Sneakers are of utmost importance, the ultimate deal breaker for me.... I don't even have to go there.... but there are some other key ingredients to a REAL man's shoe collection.

1.You need some boots. Some big, manly, tough boots. Boots that you can take outside and do some real sexy man stuff in. Cowboy or not, getchyou sum boots!

2.Dress shoes are also a big deal, hafta be clean, current, and match your belt, PLEASE! Don't be afraid to drop some real cheese here.

3.Outdoor shoes. The kind of shoes you can wear hiking/biking/Green-belting/living your life on the edge shoes.

4.Every man should have some sandals. Some don't like them, and wouldn't wear a flip-flop to save their life. What's up with that. Maybe it's just a Lubbock Cowboy thing, but seriously, get some sandals. I'm not gonna watch you wear your old 2004 Air Max's at the lake, you look retarded.

5.The 2nd sexiest kind of shoe, under fresh sneakers, is a a casual shoe. For some, it's a Sperry, but please don't buy anymore Sperry's people. There are many other sexy cashzz (abbreve for casual, Mom) kicks.

6.Finally, you have a little shoe collection going. Now, reward yourself and get some of these.

I just had a four hour black-out blogging sesh. I hate when I do that! The awkward position I have been in the entire time has caused 3 of my limbs to be completely numb, and I did nothing productive at all once I got home from my day. sick. I think I have a problem.

Summer of the Single Ladies

Call me tacky, and vain, but I don't care. YES, I counted how many people told me Happy Birthday on my facebook wall. So what? You know you have thought about it. Honestly, it was incredibly humbling. I found myself growing more and more thankful as the e-mails came in. I have been thinking about it for days, and want to devote all of my time to returning such great friendship like I received on my Birthday. I couldn't be any happier in life right now, and all of it is due to the wonderful friends that surround me. Being away from my family and life-long friends is hard, but I can't say enough how thankful I am to have such ballerific friends here in Austin! This is the "Summer of the Single Ladies" and we're not gonna mess around.

True Life: My little Sissy just told me that she and her ex-bf were now "friends with bens"....

I'm totally stealing that.

Over-Sharer

Right at the peak of a 3-person mustache party, I had one of the greatest heart-2-hearts ever. We played a game of questions... NOT "The Guessing Game" (that's a totally different story) and the question was, "What is one thing you would change about yourself?" If you're imagining a sappy scene where you get somewhat emotional, and actually feel closer to your, also very intoxicated, friends.... you're right on the money. I think there was even a candle involved.

Anyways, enough about love, and onto hardcore character-flaw questions. I've thought about it, and obviously.... my problem is over-sharing. You reading this is pure proof of that. Do you really give a shit about a mustache party? Or a sweet little kitty? What about my mad cooking skills, and ridiculously useless facts? No, surely not. Luckily, I have my Mom and 13 followers.

(And yes, that last sentence was, in fact, a reverse-psychology marketing ploy. JC, there's GOT to be more than 13 of you little assholes! Still dreamin' of a book with my name on it.)
