I mean, dayum!  The ones I liked didn&#8217;t come in my size (I wear a nine).  It was either a size 7 or size 11&#8230;.. aarrggghhhh.  I could have managed 8<span style=\"font-size:85%;\"> 1\/2<\/span> or 9 <span style=\"font-size:85%;\">1\/2<\/span> but 7 and 11?  Nah men.  Not possible.  I&#8217;d have 2 shave half of my feet off to fit in2 a size 7 or magically add some meat to fit an 11.  It&#8217;s just not fair!<\/p>\n<p>I had planned on going to DSW if Bare Feet Shoes didn&#8217;t work out, but mehn&#8230;. I was just too tired.  See, that&#8217;s one of the good things about being a celebrity.  If I were a celebrity, my assistant(s) would only bring me shoes that are my perfect size, so I would not have to suffer going from aisle 2 aisle lookin @ different shoes and then looking for them in size nine.  Darn it!  Anyways, lemme come back 2 reality 4 now.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to resume my search for a shoe on saturday.  Why am I looking for a shoe?  Well, Sola is having a thanxgivin service on sunday, so I wanna be lookin fly.  Now, you&#8217;d think that Sola&#8217;s thanxgivin is a big event, but it really isn&#8217;t.  I just want an excuse 2 have a new shoe.  Yeah, I said it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, up to today, I have been proudly and confidently telling all who cared to listen that shoe shopping is my thing, but when I went to Bare Feet Shoes today to look for a pair of shoes (only one pair o!), I was ready to lose me Blessed mind.
