Wednesday Rant

Ok some thing have been bothering me lately... maybe if I vent via the interweb it'll help...

• Trainers at my gym who are NOT in shape... WTF is that?
• Crackheads at my Starbucks; of all the places to take a pee
• Crotch rockets... you don't need to rev to 11,000 at stop signs to keep them running
• Dropped iPhone calls ever since V4 came out (I'm still iPhone OG)
• Kanye West not on twitter, now Kanye West on twitter reminding me how boring my life is
• Humidity
• Pot holes + Stiff Ass Suspension
• Ill-fitting oxfords
• United State Postal Service and how they will go out of business because they treat customer service like I'm burdening them with my business
• I'm sure there is more, but I'm starting to drink more...

4 Types of Bloggers:

Vans + $1.99 leather laces = much cooler

No, I'm not the first to do this, and I won't be the last... but I think it looks really good.

*Editors Note- used one pair of 72" laces and cut each one in half and the fit perfect in each shoe, 2 for the price of 1.
