Urban

So yesterday I bought these shoes from Nordstom called "Tom's". If you haven't heard of them they're basic canvas shoes and every pair you buy the organization gives a pair to a child in need. YAY. I feel pretty awesome every time I put them on. I'm walking down the street and I feel like i'm constantly doing a good deed. I'm no saint I'll admit, but I do donate the occasional dollar to the Jimmy fund at the grocery store. So these shoes were a pretty cool thing in my eyes. Then i started thinking about all the kids I see on campus in these shoes, flannel shirts, recycled material corduroys, and Starbucks coffee cups. It's weird.. I started to feel less good about my shoes.. only because it seems every kid who shops at Urban Outfitters and occasionally forgets to wear shoes while playing acoustic guitar outside in the grass thinks their the most "urban", earth crunchy philanthropist on the planet. SO, stepping down from my high horse I decided you can try to look the part all you want, but its how you treat people from day to day that really makes you a cool kid. So, be nice people.. and wear shoes outside because the streets of Chicago are gross.

That is all until next time,
