About Me

I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

The shoe showcase

Do you know which word I hate? SNEAKERS! why can't you just say shoes? Freakin sneakers, What a retarded word. The pronunciation of the word is so annoying.

Anyways, they used to have cool shoes back in the day, remember "The Pump"

God, that was a cool shoe! I remember when I was 20 I happened to find a pair of these bad boys in a Marshalls store. I was ready to buy them until I checked the size : 11! one size too small! I tried them on anyway and they didnt even close to fit! Not without crushing my toes into the front which I seriously considered doing until I snapped back into reality and reminded myself that not only would that hurt, but it was impossible!

Second on my list:LA Gear!

Now unfortunately I couldn't find a pic of the LA gears with the multi colored Laces, but you get the picture, lol. LA Gear shoes were the shtuff back in the day! anybody who was anybody had LA Gears! Now when LA Lights came into the picture, they blew the game away, lol. Eventually LA Gear fell out of style and out of the market as well.

Last: British Knights!

Another brand that magically dissapeared after the early 90's. These used to be very popular and they even gave them away all the time on double dare! lol. Great shoes, great times!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane!
