i could be posting about this crazy fool <--, but after watching his rampage, the whole thing just makes me feel gross, so i'm not going to.
INSTEAD, i'm going to talk about this dude -->, who i decided i love. i don't know tons about the story, but from what i've read so far, it appears he is selling shoes and athletic gear, good quality stuff, for $15 dollars or less per item, even the stuff that is most top of the line. just to provide people who might otherwise break the bank to buy sneakers with affordable merchandise. people, this is profound. amazing. this man is thinking about OTHER HUMANS, not about money! this man is selling something and not trying to turn as large a profit as possible (because, c'mon, he probably doesn't need the money) but rather trying to HELP SOMEONE ELSE. he is operating a business, but NOT THINKING capitalistically.
tell me if i'm being too optimistic, but marbury gives me some hope for the world. i just want to give him a hug.

That's awesome about the cheap shoes. While in a perfect world he'd make sure the manufacturers were paying the workers more than they probably are (I believe they're made in China), it's still good to hear he isn't just taking in a huge profit.
And I'm off Seinfeld reruns. I'd just started watching them again. Now I'm done.
Xtina, ingredients for a good cheesy Christmas screenplay = heartwarming incident (like the shoe guy) + human interest (like a little kid who wants shoes but can't afford them) + snow. I say you write it yourself! Then you could watch it, and be able to say you've seen more holiday movies. Plus, you'd be almost uninfluenced by the traditions of the genre.

Yeah, I think you SHOULD go hug him. See what happens. I missed your writing. Thanks for coming back.
