There's something disturbing about the footwear of st. olaf students. Its not just the occasional misguided fashion victim, but droves upon droves of disgusting shoes walking on the feet of completely oblivious people who, as far as i can tell, think they are really cool. And its not just one type of shoe i.e. dressy, casual, athletic but every and all. Of course, i have been known to indulge in the rare oddity when it comes to shoe shopping, but never have i knowingly been so completely careless and backwards as to buy a pair of clearly outdated shoes more than 3 years after they have become outdated: SKECHERS is my main example. And not just the "cool chic ashlee-simpson-marketed" skechers of today, but the ugly metalic reflector infested space-gym shoe of 2002. I admit that i did own these for a short period of time but wore them maybe 3 times before quickly passing them on after learning my mistake. Its just a little sad and weird to see such a high concentration of ugly shoes in a relatively small student body. There are the rare few who understand the greatness of the Old Navy flipflop over the TEVA ultra grip mountain hiking sandal, and i appreciate these few and i wish they would also speak up about the epidemic of ugly footwear so i know im not alone in feeling this way.
i also had an MRI today and they are really loud and annoying and long and i don't ever want one again.
