It's been over 3000 blog views since I first started this crazy bare feet/awesome toes blog journey, so I figure I'll re-post the verrrrry first entry, for the benefit of new visitors! What's up, all'a you barefoot newbies?! Enjoy the fun trip, & the laughs...

| I love my toes, I can't help it! ;) |
First off, I don't have a "foot fetish", per se. If you do, hey whatever, it's all good, I don't judge people (or at least I TRY not to). But I don't sneak around creepily sniffing other people's shoes, or doing, uhhh, "self gratification acts" to pictures of feet. I don't really quite get that aspect of the whole thing, but it's 2012, so if that's your thing, then whatever floats your boat (as long as you ain't a "Jerry Sandusky" type) is your business... ..Me, I just absolutely hate wearing shoes, looooove going barefoot as much as possible, and now have what I would term a "healthy addiction" to pedicures! This silly, artsy, pedicured toes game that I play started 3 yrs ago, at a drunken football playoff party (Chargers/Steelers AFC title game) when my buddy's wife found out that I was getting regular pedicures to take care of my feet (and because they just feel freakin' AWESOME, especially with the extra foot massage & hot gel soak!), and said to me, "That's really great that you get pedis, but I bet you don't have the balls to get your toes painted black!" ..I didn't have to answer her, because my pal turned to her and said, "Why would you say that to him? You KNOW he will!" ...(Editor's note: I'll do just about anything that won't get me locked up, screw up my career, or make me a parapelegic)... Painted toes are easy, they ain't permanent like tattoos! If you get sick of it, there's always nail polish remover! And I haven't gotten sick of it yet, there's been waaaaaaaay too many great compliments from both random strangers and friends alike! Some think it's hilarious, some think my feet are hot (C'mon, you know they are, stop fighting it), some think I'm a complete psycho, some think I'm playing for "the other team" (insert the Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with it!" line here)..whatever anyone thinks, I love the whole pedi process, and love taking it to the extreme (which you can all see from the uploaded pics on this blog)! The basic rule is, if you're gonna enjoy going barefoot as much as I do (which is basically "whenever, wherever"), then take care of your goddamn feet. No one likes looking down and seeing two ugly, hygiene disasters attached to your ankles. ..And to tell the truth, I love & cherish my time with my amazing ladies at the pedi place. My female friends, wives of my guy pals, & complete random stranger chicks...AND the chinese girls who work there..all seem to get pure elation outta seeing me in that pedi chair, seeing me struggle not to laugh when they do that ticklish scrubby thing to the bottoms of my feet, and, finally, marveling at whatever crazy art design I decide to get my super-talented pedi girl to slap down on my ten lil' celebrities! No exaggeration, the compliments on the finished work are always off-the-charts! Yep, it's ALL good! ..And celebrity bank accounts be damned, if Gene Simmons, Ozzy Osbourne, Shaq, Bruce Willis, & Chuck Liddell can get their toes painted, then f*ck it, so can I... Stay tuned, the fun feet journey continues.. :)
