You know that backhanded compliment that people are always complaining about?  The one that goes "You look really nice today"  while you are wondering in the back of your head.... Do I look like ^%$^ the rest of the time?  Well I made myself happy last week by buying two new pairs of shoes.  (If you have not felt the cleansing sensation of shoe buying recently you should try it)  Well I wore my new shoes to work and people keep commenting on them.  Its nice and all, but did my old shoes look like I stole them off a hobo?  I don't know maybe I am being picky, but it just seems weird.  Of all the things to notice.... hmmmmm......
