this is a drawing of a dead tree. i didn't do it, i just found it on the internet. i really like pictures of dead trees - i have a couple hanging around, and they always catch my eye. i don't think i'm the only one, because during my search for "dead tree," i found at least five websites that are dedicated to dead trees. also, nike has an image of a dead tree that you can use to customize a shoe, so it's probably more popular than i ever knew.
i designed these shoes today.
check out the custom crest. yes! it also says my name, and my favorite number, 27. well, maybe that's my favorite number. i'm also considering 18 and 22. 18 is a multiple of a bunch of things and 22 was a really good age for me, probably mostly because of the stooges song 1969. i am not considering 13, even though that is my birthday and if i remember correctly also a really good age for me, because that is a pretty typical favorite number to have because it is unlucky and people like to defy tradition by directly opposing it, which i think is one of the most typical and boring things to do. but i think i will pick 27 because i'd like to have a number on there that's an age i haven't been yet and i'd like to have something to look forward to. i haven't been this excited about a pair of shoes in a long time. when i have enough money, i'm going to buy them. man, i hope they don't suck. that's one thing about the internet; you get really excited about something and imagine yourself having it and how it's going to solve a lot of problems for you, and then you get it and it kind of sucks, but returning it involves sending something in the mail and every time you go to the post office your blind high school english teacher, who has actually had a pretty big influence on your life, is there and you have an awkward conversation with her because what are you going to tell her? that she inspired you? she is a pretty practical person and she would just laugh that off and make you look small. so, you keep it, but never, ever wear or use it because you're ashamed.
this is a dog dressed as a unicorn. i'm going to say it's the funniest thing i've seen all day, probably because the dog looks so unhappy to be dressed up as something magical. also, i think it's pretty funny when people dress up their pets and take pictures or just take regular pictures of their pets and put them on the internet. it's not something i really do, but i think it can provide terrific examples of how much weird stuff is on the internet. maybe i'll start taking pictures of other peoples' pets and putting them on the internet. this came up as a result under a search for "unicorn."
i don't care that the shoes' colors are patriotic, because you know what? i am a patriot. it's lame that patriotism is connected to supporting the bush administration and the war in iraq because america is a pretty great country in a lot of ways. the library system, voting, being a girl and walking down the street wearing regular clothes, saying whatever you want either in the street or on the internet (i have a feeling it's pretty hard to regulate diaries, not that they would be allowed to if they found a way). in texas, they drink coke for breakfast and nobody bats an eye. sure, our president is kind of a jerk on an international level and a lot of people in this country are way into nascar and we pollute more than anyone else, but there are a lot of good people here who don't support that and i for one really appreciate a lot of things about being an american.
this is a statue called "hands of victory," which Saddam had built to commemorate his victory over Iran. at the base of the statues are 5,000 Iranian helmets taken as trophies from the battlefield. this came up as a result in a search for "crossed swords."
