It’s not a good year for shoes.
The Bled - My AssasinJustin is at his sister’s Confirmation right now and I feel bad that I didn’t go. I told his grandparents over a week ago that I’d be there but then he had figured I would never want to go to a church so he told his mom something like “Why would she want to go? I don’t even want to go, but it’s my sister.” 
The thing is, even though I’m agnostic, I have no problem being in churches. It’s not like my skin burns if I touch holy water or something. Not going to Cassie’s Communion because I’m Agnostic would be the equivalent of not going to someone’s bar mitzvah because you’re not Jewish. Lame!
Anyway, I had something I wanted to bring up. Please stop buying Crocs! They are the ugliest thing you could possibly wear on your feet, even uglier than those hairy Ugg boots people loved a few years ago. I don’t understand the fascination. They are clogs molded out of a block of rubber! They could be used as a flotation device! They look as attractive as those Fisher Price roller skates you snap on over your shoes when you’re a kid. It doesn’t matter if “they’re comfortable” - get a pair of fucking Birkenstock’s or something! Hell, I’d go barefoot before wearing these. Unless you’re wearing scrubs in a hospital, there’s no reason to be seen in these horrendous shoes. I can only imagine when you run in them, it probably smells like someone did a burnout with their car.
Another no-no: Jellies! Seriously, what is with the plastic footwear? I wore these in 1989 as a 4 year old. I loved my Jelly Shoes. I’d wear them everywhere; to the corner store, riding my bike, to the public pool, to school, etc. After wearing them for 10 minutes they would leave deep welts in your feet. You sometimes got blisters - and if you spent any good amount of time in the sun, you’d have a waffle tan on your feet. Why would you do this to yourself?
THANK YOU! I’m so glad someone agrees with me on the issue of Crocs. I’ve been saying since they became a “fashion trend” (if you can even call it that) that they are ugly as shit and should all be burned. Everyone’s response? “But they’re so COMFORTABLE!!” So are Vans. Sit down.
Also, I wanted to thank you for you comment. You pretty much forced me to come back to my blog. So *hugs*! And I

You and I definitely have the exact same taste in shoes. I hate Uggs, I hate Crocs, and I hate the idea of people over the age of 10 wearing Jellies. Sheesh.
As for going to the church, I know what you mean. I’m agnostic, too, but I wouldn’t refuse to go to an event just because it’s taking place in a church.
- Christina
Man, jellies, I remember those. I LOVED my jellies too. I often rocked the waffle tan. I’m surprised they still make those actually. Very 80’s. haha.
And the clogs, ugh, they’re hideous. I would never be caught dead in them. I too, would rather go barefoot. In a heartbeat.
- Ashley
Hey! I agree Crocs are the ugliest things I’ve seen too. People who wear them seriously need a wake-up call. Lol.
Anyway, umm… Nice site. Love the layout.
- Nasriah
I guess for me, comfort takes a major backseat to style/looks. I’ve had surgery on both feet, if the shoes are nice to look at, but hurt my feet, forget it. If they’re ugly (which I like the Crocs myself) but comfy, I’m there. LOL Then again, I don’t understand why it is people feel the need to be looking at one another’s feet.
- Char
Haha, I’ve always thought those types of shoes are ugly. Um… a comfirmation sounds so boring. :(
Anyway, I love the layout!
- David
I’m not dead.
- Cass
*Nervous shuffle*
Erm… yeah… my jellies aren’t my treasured possession! That’s ridiculous!
I’m agnostic too and I so agree with you. I’ve been to bat mitzvah before and to an easter sermon at my local church, so yeah (Y)

JELLIES! Oh god, I remember those. Agreed with Christina though, no one over the age of 10 should be wearing them.
- Arwen
Crocs are the ugliest shit on earth. I cannot for the life of me understand anyone who wears them! Once, my aunt was trying to get my mom to start wearing them, so she sent us a pair.
Needless to say, my mom promptly returned them.
I just think jellies are foot-unflattering. Nuff said.

hey ash! loving the layout here. coming here makes me want to update my website. i have been busy and majorally slacking.
i use to go to church. not anymore i just don’t beileve in sitting there and going anymore.
i have noo clue why anyone would want to wear those shoes..those are really ugly.
- Sheila
finally someone agrees with me. uggs, crocs, and jellies imply what they are: ugly, crocodile-like, and hellie-no jellies. eww.
i mean, it’s bad enough that i see every other person in new jersey wearing uggs in the summer and crocs in the winter….it’s sad. and then they wear jellies because they’re soooo cute and they leave them on when they go get their fake tans….
still…it’s hilarious to see their reactions at the pool/beach when they turn away as they change to normal-looking flip flops.
- Jenny
Haha, I’m agnostic as well but yeah, stepping in a church is fine… bless him.
However, if you really did want to go you could have protested…
I agree with the shoes, the “rubber clogs” are so in now as well, ugh theyre horrible. >.

ohhh, ashley: Tell Justing, “Hi. O_o”
Include the weird face haha

CROCS KILL ME. AND WHEN DID JELLYS COME BACK?? I saw 8000 pairs at the mall yesterday. Gross. Crocs are even sold at Dollar Stores…god, ew. I’m glad I’m not the only one disgusted.
- Jessica
Probably, Crocs is being bought by many because it is so comfortable. I’m buying one actually but the one that has a flip-flop style and not teh one that looks like bricks.
Footwear is really a fad right now. There’s havaianas and now, crocs. Oh god, spare me.
- Enzo
Crocs are definitely the ugliest things around.I wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair. Not even if my life depended on it.
- Angela
Ahahahaha! So that’s what those things are called - Jellies! Have never seen them before and was wondering what kind of shoes they were when I saw them in a mall yesterday. Waffle tan - ahahahahaha!
