I must confess that last night I was driving by a local DSW Shoe store and a sudden urge hit me. I wanted to get a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor “All Star” shoes.

Why not?

Not that I am trying to be the cool / chic / musician wannabe / fill in the _____ person. I always wanted to buy a pair. So I ran in to see what they had and of course they had their typical black ones, low top, high top, crazy top versions.

I looked for my size and on the bottom of one of the styles was my size. I opened it up and it was a different color than the pale blue ones that were stacked on top. There all alone was a pair of pale green Taylor’s haplessly waiting to be discovered.

I looked around to make sure someone didn’t notice this amazing discovery and gem and I slipped them on. I was amazed at the comfort of these lonely soles.

I instantly ran to the cashier with them and 2 minutes before the store closed, I walked out the door with my All Stars.

Now I have the “sole” to spear head my drive to conquer the digital world.
