Neglect Much?

Well. As it turns out I am a terrible blog owner. I'm too busy with twitter hashtags to post anything amusing that takes up more that 150 characters i guess. Also, Twitter is easier to sneak at work. Besides, who the hell is even looking at this thing?

Drawing Blind Wednesday

Blind drawing is exactly what it sounds like. Close your eyes + draw a picture = Instant Funny. It's basic math really...

I thought I'd kick off blind drawing wednesday with a portrait of my blind boyfriend.

Hi Honey, Luuuuuuuuuv Yooooooooou.

Definately a resemblance.

Dear Rocko,

It's very likely nobody will ever read this, but I want the whole wide world to know what an amazing dog you were. You loved everyone unconditionally, you never judged, and you stole unattended food every chance you got. You are my best friend, and I love you more than anything in the world.

It was hard to watch you get sick, and I couldn't stand the idea of letting you go. You were such a trooper, and you were the one comforting me through this whole thing. I hope i was able to return the favor, even just a little. I love you so much Poodie.

You really were the best dog ever.

Love Forever,
Me

Irrational Fear Friday! Aye eye,eye

In an effort to motivate myself into writing in this thing on a regular basis I've come up with an awesome weekly installment where I will tell you about my irrational fears!

This Week: My Eyeballs Might Fall Out.

Yup. I'm really afraid of that. Just the thought of my eyes falling out or losing an eye makes me all woozy and I go out of my way to make sure it doesn't happen, and I make sure to avoid anything on tv involving eyes.

I don't go into questionable airlocks on spaceships

Shutup that does too look like space.

I don't play with sharp sticks. As a matter of fact I wont let any sticks near my face ever. Mascara wands being the exception. I'm still overly cautious when I use them though.

And don't point your finger in my face. I'll break it. Not because I'm angry, but so I won't lose an eye.

Don't pretend like you all don't think about this. I use my eyes a lot. Every day as a matter of fact and I would turn into a pile of self-pitty should they ever fall out of my face.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go pad all eye-level corners in my house with foam.

Dear Feet,

I recently got a pair of Vibram 5 Finger Performa shoes. Aside from a few really small issues, they are quite possibly the best gym shoe ever. They are like iso"toe"ners (GET IT?!) for your feet!

The leather is super soft, and once you get them on it's almost like wearing nothing at all. This is awesome for me because I hate wearing shoes of almost any sort. Sure I'll bust out a cute pair of heels every once in a while, but I prefer flip flops or bare feet (or penguin slippers in the winter).

I'm all about comfort, and breaking in a pair of sneakers at the gym this past couple of weeks has been pure torture. In that respect the performa gained an epic win over sneakers. I could feel my toes :)  There is virtually no massive breaking in to do. No toe cramps. No blisters. No tripping over massive sneakers for my massive feet.

Now, since a review can't be all positive, here are the issues I've had with them, although incredibly minor:

1. My feet are huge. If I was a man this would mean a very large penis, but I'm not a man so all it means is difficulty finding shoes that fit right (thank GOD it doesn't mean a massive vagina :D ). I got the largest size performa and it all fit's very well on the left foot, except for the pinky toe. I'm hoping the leather stretches a bit to help with this. The same on the right foot except it's the pinky toe and it's neighbor. In the future I would likey get a pair of Mocs. They are the men's performa and come in bigger sizes.

4 Out of 5 Toes Recommend the Performa

2. The price. They were $110 dollars (I put them on my credit card). I love them, but for that price I wish I could wear them more places, which brings me to my last point...

3. They are inside only shoes. :(  Part of what makes them so comfortable makes them unsuitable for outside wear. I mean, you could probably wear them to the grocery store, but you better hope there arent any sharp rocks in the parking lot. Luckily, Vibram makes other models of the 5 finger that are more suited to the outside world. They are not as cute however.

So overall I give the performa a big thumbs up. They kick the pants off of sneakers at the gym, and if I treat them right I think they'll be a great investment.

And I would and will definately get a second pair. :)
