Great things come in Pairs.....

This is my attempt at making sense of it all.....and true enough, It may make absolutely no sense at all...but hey I warned you

Great things come in pairs:
and people are like socks and shoes

Now, there are all kinds of socks,
plain white everyday socks--which are good with most shoes and comfy, the only thing that is bothersome about these is that sometimes the seam along the toe line is uncomfortable, but we deal with it
toe socks--weird, I'll admit, but hey a pretty cool idea, and they are also functional, if you can get past the bold designs and the weirdness they give your already strange looking toes
wool socks--keep your toes warm, only problem is that sometimes the don't fit in your shoe
Dress socks (these come in two varieties) the first is just your plain jane cotton dark trouser socks, their function is to make you look business savvy, because we all know that you CANNOT wear white socks with dress shoes and trousers...it doesn't work. The second kind is the REALLY nice almost silk-like trouser socks, not only do they make you look good, they feel like the 1000 thread count cotton sheets that you wanna sleep in all day. Functionality, style, and comfort...ooooh yeah!

which brings me to my point...Praise the Lord she believes she has a point.....
We are like pairs of shoes and socks...like together, as in compatibility,
Shoes:
work boots--hard working people who labor
army boot--military
tennis shoes-- everyday people
specific athletic shoes i.e. football, baseball,bike, etc --athletic people
dress shoes--business or fashion savvy people
birkenstocks--yep, granola munchers
flip flops--no sock needed, carefree, toes to the wind ( this kind of person doesn't even need a match)

So you can have a couple who is like the white socks and tennis shoes, and it works...they are comfortable together, they function together etc.
you can have someone who is like a dress sock with someone who like a tennis shoe and it works, most of the time, but only until it doesn't work anymore and then they find the sock/shoe that matches the best!!!!
You cannot have plain jane white socks with the birkenstock, it works for a short time, but then the white sock isnt mucnhie enough, and that toeline seam keeps getting twisted and bunched... so the birkenstock has to find the all natural wool/hemp sock to make the ideal fit.
You see, we can make ANYTHING work for a little while....but it works BEST when you have the BEST fits, together.........
It isn't until you try on a few shoes that you realize which one is the best fit.....and you'll NEVER fully appreciate a really great dress shoe or dress sock until you've tried the others.......
oh and remember, toe socks are cute, but only for so long, then you kinda have to grow up and find a sock that best fits your personality......
Think about it........ I may be completely off my rockers today, but at least I know the difference between the birkenstock and Manzoni footwear...and I am never goin back.......uh huh!!!
that's it for now...until next time........................................................
