I Painted This Pair Of Flats For My Boyfriend's Sister. Whether Or Not She Will Ever Wear Them Does Not

I painted this pair of flats for my boyfriend's sister. Whether or not she will ever wear them does not concern me because I'm pretty sure she'll be amused to have them all the same.

I got the idea from Bobsmade, who makes amazing art on and off shoes.

For a culture that invented all those things and that made such a big deal out of Confucian respect, there's in the modern era almost no sign of it at all. And if you... come from Mars and some shit, if you look at it now, you'd think that the Koreans and Japanese invented respect.

Marc Antony: Your tongue is old, but sharp, Cicero. Be careful how you waggle it. One day it will cut off your head. Cicero: It will more likely be your sword, Antony. It is just as sharp, and quicker. And frightened of heads.

People are  singing the national anthem on Sheridan Road, screaming outside my window and running up and down the halls cheering, and it just makes me sad. 

I can understand if people are celebrating near ground zero, but how many NU students have been personally touched by 9/11? I feel like the majority of the people out there are just in the mood to make some noise because the news is shocking and it's a historical night.

Yet life goes on, and I doubt that the families affected by 9/11 will find bin Laden's death can fill the void left by their loved ones.  

Basically, I think people are missing the point.
