I'm trying to see what the hell it is you are doing with your life. You guys say its your "standard" and maybe its "taking care of yourself." You'll probably even say you're "doing it for yourself" and "fuck what other people think."

But the fact of the matter is that this is all bullshit. You are plying so hard to exceed at something so frivolous in life, you surely won't garner the recognition and respect you so crave. If you managed your priorities and took care of yourself by dressing for your job or investing in your education you will have the finances to afford something better, and until then you can still be effay while living within your means.

You act like it takes skill to pull off Geos. It doesn't, the garment speaks for itself and stands on its own. Most Rick pieces fit easily together anyway.With the right inventory in your stash you can probably assemble decent fits in your sleep.

Besides, my lifestyle actually supports them and they're a welcome change from lesser shoes. After a decade-plus of collecting sneakers of lesser make and never being 100% satisfied, it's nice to have one shoe to rule them all, as it were.
Everything about them is substantial, meaty, perfect. I guess it's hard to convey to someone who doesn't see the appeal directly.

Nothing, I did those things too as I worked my way through school. I was in school though.

Is that really as high as the bar ever needs to go to be complacent with minimum wage? Where's the initiative?

Wait, people who work with nightclubs have to wear suits for their job?

That's odd.

OP is going to regret this eventually. Not copping Geos - they're awesome - or spending the money, but missing out on having a life for the sake of a pair of shoes.

People don't hate you because they like to hate things. People hate you because you're a dumb yeasty cunt. You just call them that because it makes you feel like people hate you just because they want to and you're a cool guy, but really, you're just a dickhead.
