You should play barefoot on stage.

I saw that guy on the Daily Show. Interesting stuff.

This blog explores barefoot running. Been trying to find a cheap running shoe based off of the thin sandal or ones that mimic being barefoot, but the cheap part is hard.

Running with and without shoes and the difference it makes.

you start running barefoot and your feet will look like this

It'll be nature's way of giving you a "shoe".

It's natures way of getting people to stay the fuck away from you when you take your shoes and socks off! Talk about a social trade off...running barefoot.

Figured since such a huge fan would try out the Bond novels, and started with Casino Royale, and it makes you look at Bond in a different light.

Sure it is only the first book, but he isn't quite the character he is in most of the movies.

If people wanna complain about movie/book conversions, I don't think they need look further than the Bond series.

As said before, Casino Royale is the first book, but is the 21st movie made.
Live and Let Die is the second book, but the 7th movie made.

So these things were out of wack from word one, and sure its Bond, but there are some elements that carry over and stuff.

Ehm, feet start to smell as soon as you put socks and shoes around them. Or was that your point?

BreakABone · 10-09-2009, 09:06 PM

Probably asked this before, but how do you pick out books and stuff?

Just finished my current book, and not quite sure where to go now so looking for a way to pick out next few books.

I usually read things recommended by friends.

KillerGremlin · 10-10-2009, 02:53 AM

I poop in this bathroom on campus and it always has pleasant things written on it. They clean it up every few weeks, but my University has a bunch of comedians. The current thing is a bunch of dick drawings. But there is also written stuff....and some of it is funny.

I went into a bar with my friends, I had to go to the bathroom, so I went in there, I sat down....somebody had written on the stall:
"Metallica rules"
Under that it said:
"Metallica sucks"
Under that it said:
"You suck"
Under that it said:
"Fuck you."
I just though...man, a lot of people shit with pens. Why don't I have one? Cause Toy Story 2 was okay!

In the last few years, I've been trying to read whatever "modern classic" I hear about (if it interests me, of course). The Hitchhiker's Guide, Catch-22, Brave New World and stuff.

Or books I hear about here. The Gun Seller was great, for example

Also, I've been doing some reading on my iPod Touch, I read quite a few free ebooks, especially Lovecraft.

And I also read some sci-fi. I usually do some research on the internet before, then decide on a book. Or in the case of my current book, Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep, it's because I love Blade Runner so much, I wanted to read the book

fixed.

Bube · 10-11-2009, 03:05 PM

That was my 3rd watch, and anyways, I watched it once more after that time.

Angrist · 10-12-2009, 05:58 AM

Haha, that's why my brother's not on GT.
