I have the power
Dada-tada! (Dosh-dosh-dosh!) Dada-tada!
Ahem, sorry about that...
Anyway, if you've been watching Heroes, legally or otherwise, you will know that it's about people with superpowers. Like X-men without the spandex. Or without Gambit. I like Gambit...
Well, I'm very special too. I've a special power: I've been making you (and your kids) wear those Converse canvas sneakers. Yes indeed and it's all my fault.
For many years, when everyone was into Nike and Adidas, I wore those sneakers and they were dirt cheap. Now everyone's thinking: Hey hey hey, that really looks super-duper cool! Then they started wearing them and when my cousins started wearing them too, it is just not cool anymore in my book.
With great power comes great responsibility... Uh-huh, tell me about it. Now those Converses cost a bomb and the "artistic-looking" ones just scream poser. It's just bloody ridiculous. It's sad to see my once favourite shoes on the feet of an idiot with spiky hair, dog tags and Jolin Tsai in his ears. Sigh...
I shall now wear boots. Let's see if the world is ran by Goths in the future. That would be sweet.

those things were a staple back in the mid-80s for me. try wearing them in 2 feet of snow and slush... they had a superpower to miraculously avert frostbite.

I had a pair of red high tops for the longest time. Actually, I had a SUCCESSION of pairs of such shoes because I wore them to death and kept having to buy new ones.
I hate when stuff I love becomes popular. I'll still wear 'em in red, though...they look so kicky!
hey thanks for popping by~ yea i finished the o.c. in like.. 3 weeks after i started from season 1. now i need a new show :\
converse shoes! hmm it's the brand with the all star thingy right? i didn't really like it back then cause all the idiot beng-ish kids in my sch would wear them. kinda ruined the image of the brand for me :x

Haha... I must have been wearing one of my good ol' Anti-Mind Control thingies then cos I never wore Converse sneakers... :P Gee thanks, now I have to dust it off again... don't like boots either... =)
Thanks you dropping by guys! Been a little busy as always!
prego: We don't have snow in Singapore... When my government decides to invest in weather-changing machine, I'll let you know!
carmi: Red ones remind me of Sonic. You must be blue to be able to pull that off.
s3an: OC season 1 is the best. Why? Coz Anna rocks! And yeah, Aussie by blood, mate. Well, half of it...
minicloud: Welcome, uh, member #2 to the Goths Will Inherit The Earth By Wearing Boots club! We should've a badge or something!
phill: Some people are immune to special powers. Like how you can't kill Magneto with Wolverine's grumpiness...

s3an: Summer seemed to have an unholy increase of the IQ juice over the seasons...
