Garish Shoes

I was talking to some friends from home when I was ridiculed for playing baseball in hiking boots. I believe the words of Shane Colin were "Way to represent, Aaron," given in a sarcastic tone. When discussing this comment, I mentioned my somewhat flamboyant 13 pound football boots (British slang for you) turned baseball cleats and was obliged by my readers to post a photo. So, here they are. If my amateur baseball career continues back in the States, I just might have to invest in a real pair of shoes. Needless to say, the combination of garish soccer cleats, cheap Umbro windpants, free from getting a credit card Twins shirt and/or random soccer jersey, and cheapest you can buy baseball glove is pretty inspiring. Anyways, Shane, if you come across this, I'm not taking no crap from you. If I recall, you have a certain predispostion towards eating the garnish lettuce that comes with steak. Way to represent, way to represent. People may have noticed the new photo element on the right hand side of this page. I'm going to post an intense photo for an unspecified amount of time, when I will then switch photos. I didn't want the pressures of "photo of the week" or "pic of the day" hanging over me. I actually have a somewhat substantial assignment for my university classes. I began work today on my American History essay. I'm going to explore the factors that led Andrew Jackson to the widespread expulsion of American Indians west of the Mississippi in the 1830's. So I checked out some books, took some notes, etc, etc, etc. It's sort of strange to actually have to do something for class. Crap, I almost forgot. Happy National CPhT Day for everyone back in the USA! It's a day where all of us should appreciate the hard work that CPhT's like myself put in every day. Or in my case, in the summer and on occasional weekends. I need to go do some stuff. Later.
