I have "thick" feet and the Danskos love me. But if Birkenstocks fit you well (I get blisters!!) you might look at the Tatami styles. I like Scarlet: [link]
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Thrive to spite them
Florida State, I think, is going to fight to keep the Seminole nickname. They're justification is having the official approval of the Seminole nation for some time. There are some tribe members who don't like it and are vocal about it, but officially FSU has the OK.
There was a big push to make the band uniforms and other things look more like traditional Seminole clothing, etc rather than stereotypical clothing.
I was going to say on the one hand there are aspects that are offensive, but honestly I'd say almost all of it is. So the other hand is just --- approval from the Seminoles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is so much more entertaining to virtually shop for someone else than to do anything actually productive.
God, I know, right? The first day I hooked up IM at work (at my boss's request), I spent hours shoe shopping with a friend.
When I was in high school, we were the Warriors, and our colors were brown and gold. Someone complained about the Warrior part, and I think everyone was just relieved to have an excuse to change it all. We became the Eagles (?) and black and silver.

sometimes I hate going to the movies where everyone is talking back.
Well, you didn't kill me at that horrible Pearl Harbor movie. (I just couldn't shut up. It was painful. And it just kept going on and on and on. People probably thought I was being disrespectful. Which I was. Towards Bruckheimer or whoever was responsible for committing that to film.)
Uhg. hate today.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My favorite school mascot is for Earlham College. The Quakers. Since it's a Quaker school they can't call the sports teams "fighting" so it's the "hustling" Quakers.

My alma mater is the Quakers, too.

Oh, we called ours the Fighting Quakers. Don't know if that was official or not.
(Jesse, where?)

We only called them Fighting Quakers as a joke, I'm pretty sure. At Penn.

The actual mascot was a cranky, belligerent-looking little quaker-hatted dude. He looked decidedly unpeaceable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My poor Clarks are one of the pairs of shoes that almost fit, but anything other than the velcro-strapped are too narrow.
I have to generally get wide widths in Clarks, and not all styles come in wide, but the ones I have, I do adore. (Although the soles of my sandals are a little smelly now.)
