Shoe Silliness...

This is NOT going to be a girly post... At least, I'm trying to make it not be :P ...

I really love the new sneakers I got for Christmas... but I'm so scared of ruining them / making them dirty / scratching them... which, unfortunately, I've already done a lot of :( .


Well - they don't look too bad in the picture... but I can just feel "newness" disappearing...

Oh... and my first boots in NC...


I very much prefer wearing shoes like these -  
Bother - can't tell they're worn out...

Oh yeah... rocking the duct tape 8)
hehe... :)

I wear the duck-tape ones anywhere, out in the yard, rather active basketball games (I always get a face injury :-P )... and the second pair, I hide the more worn-out areas under my jeans *cheesy grin* ...


And here is the overview... :)


Old shoes are more comfortable and worry-free (it's ok if they are in less-than-pristine condition).

The same goes for clothes...

Yeah... I'm weird...

    There is a sadness involved with watching new clothes and shoes become worn and old. In a way, getting used, slightly-worn clothes is easier because someone else has gone through all that anguish for you :-)

    Gotta love those duct-tape shoes . . . Stephen used to have several pairs of those, but even duct-tape eventually failed. My current everyday pair could probably use some duct-tape as well :lol:

    One of my younger brothers has sworn off basketball because he gets an injury every time too. I guess some people just have a predisposition to that kind of stuff!

    Wow - Mac, you win for longest comment! :lol:

    Oh yes, hand-me-down clothes are pretty awesome as well. B)

    LOL - in fact, I was wondering if you had any tips on duct-taping methodology ;-) . I can tell the way I've duct-taped my shoes isn't going to last long :-P .

    And I thought it was just me! :rollatself: But, predisposition? I'm not so sure about that :-/ ... at least, I hope it isn't. O.O I like playing basketball too much.

    Haha, I kind of surprised myself! Who knew I could wax eloquent on shoes for so long :O

    Two things about duct tape: don't tape it too tightly (or else you won't be able to get your foot in there), and don't tape it too near the end of the shoe (or the tape will slide off). Other than that, just use a lot and don't be afraid to re-apply ;-)

    LOL - "wax eloquent" is right ;-) .

    I don't think I taped too tightly, since the shoes are a little big. But I might have gone to near the end since it slipped a little at first. Definitely need to re-apply :-P . Thanks! :-)

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
