My Adidas

I've owned my current shoes for only about 3 months. You've never seen a thinner sole. They're super beat up. Granted, they were a low quality shoe to begin with. But with as much as I'm on my feet, it just doesn't work. My feet ache so bad at the end of the day. Last week I had a shard of glass poking through the sole of my shoe, ripping a hole in my sock and cutting my foot.

I've ordered new Adidas shoes. I did research and read all the reviews. They're supposed to be the best running shoes in existence. I can't WAIT to finally get them! They should be here in another 4-5 weeks. I customized them so they're Aggie shoes. Black & White with some Maroon and an aTm tag on the laces. 

I love Adidas. I wore Adidas Sambas from junior high throughout high school. I love the simple black and white, white with black stripes, the ones I like wear when I rock the mic. 

I can't wait for them to come. Apparently I have a pretty gnarly heel strike. I hope it's ok that I wear them all day and not just for running. I've never paid this much for shoes before. It's a weird feeling. But I'm excited! "Me and my Adidas do the illest things, we like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings. We slay all suckers who perpetrate, and lay down law from state to state. We travel on the gravel, dirt road or street. I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat."

Heart Still Beats

The thought it comes to my mind, to somehow intervene
But it could bring me trouble, and what can I do anyway?
It's hard to be effective when it happens so often
To see a life unraveling, through drawn venetian blinds
I'm sickened by compassion, I'm stifled by my limitations
Anesthetic apathy, come take the pain away 

Oh God, we need You here. 
We're sinking fast and we don't care
The evidence is all around me, on both sides of my door.
Our hearts beat.
