I was reading an article in The New York Times, talking about how Reebok has made these new sneakers called EasyTone, which will make your legs and ass muscles better toned than regular walking shoes. The way they do this is by using muscle-activating shoes that are "engineered to create a sense of instability."
"Design elements like curved soles and Reebok’s 'balance pods' are said to force the wearer to engage stabilizing muscles further, resulting in additional toning for calf, hamstring and gluteal muscles."
Okay...I'll admit it. When I saw the title: "New Athletic Shoes Offer a Workout in Just the Wearing," I was interested. After reading the article..yeeah not so much. I'm already a big klutz. I trip and fall when there's nothing to trip and fall over. I don't need these shoes, which probably cost a lot and probably wouldn't wear because I'm used to non-sneakers now, to give me a sense of "instability" so I fall on my ass even more...unless I would be able to sue them or something for it. Then maybe I'd buy a pair. Why the hell would I pay a corporation, who's already ripping me off, more money to give me a pair of shoes that will make me seem MORE of a klutz? No thank you very much. I'd like to see someone play a sport with these retarded sneakers, flailing their arms around as they trip and fall while trying to hit a ball. Maybe then I'd watch sports. Maybe.

Late Night Talking
As you might have guessed, this nightly hysteria is all in due to my procrastinating self. I am actually working now, funnily enough; maybe it's because this is the final week of classes and I can afford to fuck this shit up haha. Let's just list the crap that I have to do left:
1. copy 12 more overdue cell biology labs from friend
2. make a power point for cell biology on cellular episodes associated with pancreatic cancer
3. write the nobel peace prize essay on ribosomes
4. write overdue paper for american novel course
5. rewrite first paper for american novel course
6. rewrite second paper for american novel course
7. write answers to response questions for american novel course
8. write paper on women being puppets and medals for men (ren. drama course)
9. rewrite paper on how women are stupid, manipulative, etc. (ren. drama course)
10. write a play based on sex and prudence for ren. drama
11. read all works from the semester for regional literature for final
12. go over endo notes with others so I don't actually fail the course (I'm not joking with that last part ~_~)
13. learn cell biology for future purposes (the final is a joke and the professor doesn't really teach much; the curriculum is honestly for 9th graders)
I think this list is pretty good; the first 3 are due on the 7th of course ^_^
Speaking of lists, I'd like to take the time to thank a couple of people in chronological order:
1. Gloria
2. Zingkanaat
3. Nick
4. Diane
5. Mother
6. Father
^_^
