So, let me start by saying,
"WHAT THE HELL IS UP, PEEPS!!!!"
I know, I know! I haven't been around in quite a few days... weeks....
Well months.
But who's counting. Okay, you few sitting at your computers with your hands up... I see you. You can just put them down, okay? Thanks.
ANYWAY. My bloggy muse (you know who you are) said that my new year's resolution should be to blog more. And I, who don't really believe in New month's resolutions (because that's the average time a resolution lasts for me in the past... one month), obliged, because after all, that's a pretty decent goal.
But, in an effort to not sprain a finger with my random OVER achievement mode, I went back to what I was doing- promising myself that I would write later... because why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Isn't that the saying... oh, it's not??? I digress...
And then, as it always happens in my life.. IT happened.
That's right folks. These would be the two shoes that caused me to run back to my blog and say,
"FOR THE LOVE OF FRIGGIN HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!! TAKE SEA BISCUIT OFF YOUR FEET!!!!!! "
You see, my post "The Curious Case of Ugly Shoes" happens to be one of my most popular posts.Why? Because people, internationally, have banned together to join in protest against the fashion industry's persistent demand that we wear fugliness AND pay a premium price for it.
But then it dawned on me. That while people are leaving their houses in droves to protest corporate greed, sleeping in tents, threatening not to take baths... freezing in the cold...
There are also poor people sleeping outside of malls, waiting in long lines in the freezing cold with their children...who are catching "ammonia"... to get a pair of Jordan's.
Ammonia... it's going around and quite rampant this time of year... Cleaning windows without warning.
But have you seen the shoes they were waiting in line for?
Yes, sneakers. With patent leather. Because wearing a tux while working out is the new hotness.
But it's not just this that made me blog. It's overall stupidity. And the people who wear it as a badge of honor like some doorknocker earrings with their name slapped in the middle...
But sometimes, stupidity just sneaks up on you like a ninja. As a subscriber to ideeli, I like to think that I'm going to get an AWESOME deal on something I wouldn't otherwise buy. And today, I saw it! A Hermes Blue Jean Celeste Bag. And clutch my lucky pearls, it was going for the low price of $12,599.99; a discounted savings from the original $15,000 it would normally cost.
And I said to myself, "Self, this is nothing that a little title pawn can't take care of!!!!! Who needs a house when you can have Hermes?!?!?! Responsibilities BE DAMNED!!!!"
But... wait... did they have the nerve to say in the fine print that this is a "Pre-Owned" Hermes??? As in used Hermes?!?!? With someone's old balled up receipts and dried up cookie crumbs floating around at the bottom?!?!??! FOR $13K? So, you mean to tell me that this bag, worn by some Paris Hilton type before she decided that blue didn't match her dog's toe nails isn't worthy of half price??? Really???
Not that I would buy it at half price anyway...
But I won't blame them. No, I will blame me. Yeah, me.
Because I wasn't blogging.... and by blogging, I could have continued to bring attention to the rampant stupidity that has taken a hold of this great nation and brainwashed us into believing that if you pay more it will be pretty.
See?
Stuuuuupidity. Right about there.
I'd like to thank my supporting cast for bringing me out of my blogging funk:

I'd like to thank my supporting cast for bringing me out of my blogging funk:
- Taj Washington and the picture of Kelis and Chrissy Lampkin
- Hermes for the Blue Jean Celeste Bag and Ideeli for being such a good office mate to bring it to me at 8 AM on sale when I almost lost it over my overpriced Starbucks
- Nike and Micheal Jordan for his tap dancing penguin Concords
- and Christian Louboutin for his Puck boots. The inspiration for it all...
