Who buys one hundred and twenty dollar shoes?
Nikes or Reeboks with the blue

Can you go out without your rope braclet?
The Livestrong band around your hand,
or the tribal thing around your neck,
whose origins or history you never suspect.
Can't be seen without Oakley's,
can't be smelled without cologne,
can't speak without new slang,
can't count all the clothes you own

Awsome stuff...truly. It seemed like a satire of the consumerist nature of today...I could be wrong however...

I have to ask. Do you really feel like this? I am not sure I would even admit such weakness were it true. Give me levis and t-shirts at home and whatever the occasion calls for when I go out. Do you really think dressing for success gets you there? Just wondering.
