Travellin' Shoes
May 8th 2010 01:23
A dingy old shoe collection is like baby boomer parents - you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em.
There was a time when I would take a huge chunk of my CD collection with me whenever travelling, which is quite stupid and embarrassing when I think about it. What I would prefer these days is to take my shoes, all my shoes, with me.
One pair for the long walks, another for lounging, something schmick for going out, tennis shoes just for the fact that they fit so easily in the luggage and look so damn good, skateboard shoes if the event arises...
I remember being at a big house party (note to self: what happens when you keep all your high school friends) in the inner west and being complimented on my shoes by an interesting person. Wearing my fluoro blue shoes, a little one looked up at me, then pointed to my feet and said "Cool shoes."
It was flattering to the point that I wondered if they were her first words, and nice to know the kids dig it. You know, a brother like myself, eternally with it etc.
Anyways I'm taking those brown tennis shoes and jumping the equator for a while, the rest of the collection will have to lay dormant until I get back.
Till then,
Opto
