Good evening all, and happy Thursday! We've almost made it to the weekend. Very exciting!
I just had a random thought (what else is new?) today and needed to share it via blog. It probably won't be a long one...just an observation.
I've always had this theory about men. You can always tell what kind of a person a man is by the kind of shoes he wears, how often he wears them, and how worn down they are.
It's true. Show me a pair of shoes without me having met the guy or talked to him and I can tell you exactly what his personality is like.
Not trying to be judgmental or anything..which admittedly, I am. I wish I wasn't, but when it comes to shoes...I just have to be. Especially with guys. It's true, and if you've never noticed it before then you are WELCOME!
I just realized today that I needed to write about this because I saw this guy. He was super sexy, cute hair, nice eyes, tall, lean, wore a hoodie WITH a leather-jacket (not the weird kind, but the hot kind that only bassist's wear...don't even get me started on my love for bass players), nice jeans, and.........New Balance sneakers..eh.
I immediately was confused. Here was this extremely attactive individual wearing these shoes that only Steve Jobs and middle aged dad's can pull off.
ALRIGHT.
Here begins the analysis...I'll only use a few examples (for some reason my computer won't let me post pictures, which makes this problematic. I will allow you to use your imaginations/knowledge of men's shoes)
- New Balance Running shoes: smart, not necessarily a nerd, but pretty close, wears lighter washed jeans a lot, has a pretty boy hair cut, most likely wears glasses, funny
-Adidas David Beckham Rocoto/any indoor soccer shoes: aware of style, yet athletic, most likely on the thinner side, has probably played soccer at some point, has a buzz cut, likes to talk to compensate for his physical shortcomings, easy to please, not as good in bed
-Nike Basketball shoes: wears sweat pants a lot or jeans that hang too low, texts a lot, sleeps a lot, athletic--or at least thinks he is, good at flirting
-Vans slide on shoes: quirky, wears glasses because it's fashionable, not necessary, has funny jokes, doesn't talk much but when he does is comical, much knowledge of obscure television shows, music, and movies, loves comic books
-Vans skate shoes: may be stuck in the past, doesn't have many friends that are girls, likes to make fun of people
-Sperry boat shoes: always white, preppy-like, or at least is trying to be slightly, always smells good, OR could even be slightly anti-conformity (as weird as it sounds since, hey, they're Sperry's)
-Converse, classic low rise Chuck Taylors: much like the Vans slide on's, but can also be a bit tempermental/emotional, depending on how clean they are depends on how self-confident they are, the dirtier, the better the person, can also be great husband/boyfriend matieral, good at cooking, doesn't sweat the small stuff, is no stranger to beanie hats
-Converse, classic high rise Chuck Taylors: eh....artsy/likes to think he's alternative, once again definitely depends on the amount of wear and tear...otherwise hard to interpret
-Mocassins: most likely smokes a lot of weed or has before, enjoys comfort over style, good in bed, has lots of facial hair, tall
-Adidas daily athletic shoes: most likely your average guy, depending on color (white/black are most average), always responds to texts, laughs even when you're not funny, often spills beer among other things, likes only one type of music, great to bring home to mom and dad
-Leather-like boots for style: possibly gay, or metrosexual, older, into fashion, will take longer to get ready than you, rarely smiles, wears better sunglasses than you, good driver
-Leather-like boots for an actual duty: rugged, outdoorsy, likes country music, knows how to hunt, good kisser, strong, dependable, likes dogs, smells weird sometimes, sloppy drunk
-Western boots: may be off balance, a writer, talks slowly, licks his lips a lot, asks dumb questions, easy to talk to, though, really thick hair, most likely wears a leather jacket, even in the summer
-Crocs: eugh...just run
-Top slider oxfords: SEX...very much sex, british?, or over 40 (in that case...no sex, naughty girl)
-Men's Supra Stacks Skate shoes: cute, easy to talk to, average human, not the greatest looking, but has great features and an awesome personality, the guy you want to date but he's too much of a prude to ever go for it
-Etnies: most likely a douche
-Flip flops: most likely an even bigger douchebag, but if he's gay, he's awesome
-Average, everday Nike Air/Nike Dunk Low type shoes: marry him, good one, good in bed, can be quiet, but very caring and says funny things when you least expect it, lets you be neurotic, protective, smart, and hard-working
I'm sure I forgot many types of shoes and men for that matter, and for that I am sorry! And also, I know that most of the stuff above is far from true. What do I know? There could be the best guy in the world that wears Crocs or Flip flops?! But from my experiences, this is my list. Hopefully some of you girls agree.
The gist of it is....
You can tell a lot about a man by the type of shoes he wears. Am I right?
Until next time,

Girls Hating Girls
Hey folks! Hope that everyone is having a grand start to their week. I know that it's getting close, if not already, finals time for many of my college readers. And I wish you all great luck on that endevour. I know I will be studying and writing my little butt off all this week and next so this may be my last post for a while. However, I want to just continue to say thanks for reading and caring (well, maybe you don't really care but you really need something to help you procrastinate, in that case...you...are welcome). I'm officially at 600 views! Once I get to 1000 I may post a video of a dance scene of some sort, or maybe something equally ridiculous that people can make fun of me for.
Alright. To the topic, we go!
The topic for today has been done before, I know, and it's also the subject for the classic film: Mean Girls. It's called "Girls Hating Girls"...why do we do this? The answer is not truly clear for anyone. Women wonder why men think we're so crazy, here it is.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that all women hate each other until proven otherwise. Maybe this isn't all true, but I have enough evidence to make this claim.
For example.
While out with your girlfriends/guy friends in da club, or at Dave -n- Busters, whatever there happen to be a big group of girls that all seem to find a way to get invited. One of these girls inevitably is "talking to" or "hitting on" your "man".
Girl 1: Ugh, do you see that girl's heels? Can you say 'whore'?
Girl 2: Yeah totally.
Girl 1: I mean, who does she think she is?
Girl 2: Apparently, she thinks she's pretty hot.
Girl 1: Yeah, she's not at all. Ew! Her teeth are so fu**ed up and that nose...and come on, you can totally tell that she's going to be fat in five years.
Girl 2: And her bronzer is sick. It stops at her neck, I hate that.
Girl 1: Me too. She's such a bitch-whore.
(at this point the girl comes up)
Girl 3: Hey girls!
Both: (overly enthused) HEYYYY!
Girl 1: Cute heels!
Girl 3: Thanks! They were on sale at DSW. (smiles and walks away)
Girl 1: Trashy whore.
Girl 2: Oompa Loompa. Who wears peep toes in the winter?
^Come on girls, you know you've done it or at least know someone who has done it to some degree. We just HATE each other for NO reason. Maybe it's that whole 'animal instinct' thing where we feel intimidated by one another for being as pretty or prettier than us. Who knows.
All I know is that men do not have the same problem at all. If they don't like someone, they simply do not associate with them. Yet, here we sit, pretending to love each other and be all "she's my girl!" to her face then behind her back be like "was it just me, or is she totally gaining the lb's?"
We're really mean to each other.
Another example.
I have a pal, we'll call her Rita. Rita and I go to a party together and there are all these sorority girls there (not saying anything bad about sorority girls! many are very kind) and a few have on semi-short dresses/skirts/low cut shirts.
Rita turns to me, disgusted, talking about how slutty these girls are and how you can see their butt cheeks and all that. It's true. The skirts are short and ridiculous, yet deep inside I KNOW Rita is really regretting wearing those skinny jeans when she could be wearing her short, tight, black skirt. We both know this, but don't say it.
The next weekend Rita wears a skirt and is once agains satisfied with life. That night she talked crap about girls who were wearing tank tops, though...
When it comes to girls, you just can't win.
You have your group of friends and that is it. Everyone else is an awful human being that is either a 1- bitch 2- slut 3- whore 4- or any combo of the three (i.e. "Slore" "Bitch Whore" "Slutty Bitch" "Slutty Ho")
Girls, this is simply appalling behavior.
Why do we feel the need to do this to one another?
NOW I am not in any way implying that every girl is an angel, but everyone deserves respect, especially when you don't know them at all. Girls shouldn't hate each other until proven otherwise, it should be the other way around, am I correct?
Some girls have mastered that. Some girls don't care either way. Some girls just claim "I get along better with guys anyways, I'm a guy's girl!" (yeah, whatever.....like any of us buy that ish, all that really means is that you can't keep any good girl friends because you're a bitch, am I right? <<<--- see, that was mean). Any way you put it, some girls just don't give a crap about each other. Good for you.
If a girl is a beeyotch, then she is one. We don't need to go around saying it behind her back all the time. Because most likely, everyone already knows she is one.
Let's put this into perspective.
If you were out with your friends and you heard some average male "bro" type call a girl a slutty whore, would you laugh or be pissed? If you laugh, then you need to re-evaluate yourself because congratulations you just sent sexism back another 50 years. By calling each other these names, we are encouraging guys to do it too. To that I say... "AW HELL NAW!" (NeNe Leaks-Real Housewife of Atlanta). Guys like us when we are fighting with eachother, it gives them entertainment and keeps us from thinking of the true "enemy" which is them (That sounded bad..I'm not a man-hater, I swear).
Here is my challenge to all of you, and MYSELF especially included, next time you see a girl dressed in a provacative way or even just breathing wrong (as they so often do when they're slores < oops!) bite your damn tongue. Don't say a word, don't tweet about it, don't make an annoying facebook status about it, don't even freaking think it! Let it go. Breathe out. Breathe in. Very good. I'm so proud.
You're allowed to hate people. People are morons and so often do deserve to be disliked, but you should respect people, especially fellow women.
As Ginger Spice always said "Girl Powaa!"
