Apparently I'm related to the Hunch Back or something. I purchased some new shoes last weekend. I've only worn them three times, and the right toe is already worn out and down to the leather. NOT HAPPY about this. Are all expensive shoes, actually just created cheap like everything else in the world these days? I will be pitching a MAJOR FIT about this later at DSW where I purchased them. I mean COME ON!
Anyways, I started getting a complex about dragging my foot around. I checked a bunch of other dress shoes last night at home, and sure enough, the right toe is wearing down a lot more than the rest of the shoe. What is my deal? Am I dragging my foot around because it's too heavy? I'm finding myself over compensating today and feeling like I'm walking with exaggerated steps. Who can I blame for this? Can I blame my parents for not teaching me how to walk correctly? NO, can't do that. Can I blame my Ortho & Sports Medicine doc from my knee surgery earlier this year that my "alignment" is off? No, the problem with shoe wearing stems back much, MUCH longer than my January 2008 knee surgery. Can I blame the random stranger on the bus for stepping on my shoe and causing it to tear? No, that is not the problem, but it should be. The problem is ME! Sigh.
Maybe this trip to France in a few weeks will verify that the Hunch Back of Notre Dame, really is in fact part of my familial line. This is really the only explanation that I've got to my shoes wearing out. But, I think I'll blame the conspiracy of retailers all across the world for not making anything of substance these days!

I think it's because the length of your shoe exceeds the length of your foot. Those hammers are shorter than you think!
I sure am glad you "don't do drama" as you once proclaimed to someone looking for an actor to fill a community theater role.
Maybe you'll feel at home when we visit Notre Dame...like you have finally found your place in the world.
It's OK Quasimodo. I'm sure part of the problem is that you buy those stylin kicks that a exagerattedly long. That's the price you pay for fashion. So scuff on brother or go out and cop a pair of...ugh..wingtips.Those punks are all but indestructable.
I would rather look "fab," and where the long shoes, versus all the other boring crap that seems to be in the stores these days.
