i am a total shoe whore.

is it right for a male to have more pairs of shoes than any female he knows? don't go saying that you think you have more than me because i assure you that you are sorely mistaken. they require not only their own room, but they spill over. i have some in the attic that i regularly have to bring down and return. ok, sure, i skateboard like almost every day, and that tears them up and creates the need for a regular rotation of skate shoes, but this is obscene. this week alone i have gotten five pairs. sure, being sponsored makes them either free or really cheap, but still. tell me how many pairs you have and we'll see how you measure up. i'll go count only the ones that are still in my room (not even counting the ones in the closet. we're talking just on the shoe rack and the floor) and see if this really is a sickness, as if i needed confirmation.

does this bespeak the already painfully obvious truth that i am despicably uncool?

uhm, i think that's a big fat fucking yes.
