Ok, so maybe putting a day count isn't such a good idea if you won't post everyday. Things get messy.
Right, back to reality. Today has been long, but well worth it. For today I purchased my first ever pair of chinos and an extraordinarily comfy pair of shoes. Ordinarily I wouldn't probably ever have need of a pair of chinos, I only really bought a pair because society decrees that I need to wear them, and what society decrees must go in this case, for disobedience would probably result in copious amounts of alcohol being forced upon me.
I am blessed/cursed with an affliction that means that even slightly tight fitting trousers tend to make me look like a cowboy. Admittedly, I couldn't stop a pig in a run with my feet together, but wearing slim trousers only accentuates my bowed legs. So much to my surprise and delight, I happened to find a pair that weren't so slim and don't make it look like I have rickets. Which is outstanding! What makes these chinos so much better, is that I think I can actually see myself wearing them, and rest assured, I am the person on earth least likely to be thought of as a chino guy.
Moving on. I like shoes. Not to the same degree as women. I mean, I don't obsessively, compulsively hoard and drool over shoes. Me, I like nothing better than the satisfaction of putting on a great pair of shoes. The feeling of a good pair of shoes is next to orgasmic! Today's shoes are of the orgasmic range. They are leather, and feel pretty dang good on my feet. I don't care if I look stupid, or 'it's not my style.' Nothing is going to stop me from wearing these beauties.
While I'm on this point, anyone who says, they aren't a shoe person is clearly a liar, or they wouldn't be wearing a pair. Ask any child in a deprived country, and they will all say how much they would give for a decent pair of shoes. If you are truly not a shoe person, then don't wear them, and show the world how much a not shoe person you are. Go on. I dare you.
On that note, I shall retire.
Joe out.
