It All Starts with the Foot & Fashion Show vids!

Things are really connected to each other.

For example: The bicycle was first created in Germany with no pedals and other complicated machinery, it was dubbed as a Laufmaschine or a running machine, all you need to do to make it move and stop was leg power... The Flinstones' way. Since there were so many accident reports, it was banned. The idea was moved to London and it soon became the 'Penny-Farthing.' It was named like that because the the front wheel, with the pedal, was so large about 1.5 meter and the small hind wheel was like 1/10th of the large one. It looks like the penny and the farthing side by side.

The Penny-Farthing was marketed into US, but it never worked out. Later, a new design was held: The front wheel shrunk and the hind wheel inflated to form equal spheres, and attached was the pedals on the center and the chains.

The structure instilled an idea of very comfortable riding, thus influencing women to ride, and thus demanding for more comfortable clothes and thus women suffrage.....

Then thats it. You know the drill.

I think it's the same thing that happened to my feet.

Weeks ago, I was scrubbing my feet with a stone and putting petroleum jelly over it almost everyday because of my cracked heel and my life has been like lighter ever since. There's the occasional shitty moments, but I don't feel much of a germ carrier nowadays because I'm wearing slippers.

I have a little more optimistic view of life and things and stuff. I'm also taking care of myself more, and started exercising more vigorously and regularly (I was exercising before I began to wash my feet).

I really feel great.

There's this other funny thing about my feet to. They began to walk faster and model-ish after I went to the internet cafe and watch some videos... hehehe. Guess thats the hypnotic thing of the multimedia... or is it just my imagination.

I may be getting crazy.... O well, I guess it was some common thing with everyone as well. I mean we get words from the media and stuff, why not mannerisms and way of life, though that might be a little unhealthy so we need to moderate.
