About 6 months ago I stumbled upon something that truly broke my heart! A pair of once white af1's in a dumpster next to my favorite thrift shop. It was total devastation!The size 11.5 af1s looked up at me while barely hanging on to dear life, (because apparently its very difficult to hang on when you have no shoe strings!) And said "White air force ones matter!"
It was then and there i swooped those hideous shoes out of the dumpster and hurried them to urgent safety.... 2 b cont'd below

at my work shop. I preformed all sorts of witchcraft and wizardry to bring these babies back to life! I was not gonna back down to this challenge! I was more determined than ever......for about a week then I gave up and they sat on a shelf and shuffled around in my workshop for a few months. Then one day as I was walking in circles around my workshop feeling blah, trying find motivation, something to spark an idea, something to inspire me!

I saw a little twinkle from the corner of my eye so I turned to see what made such a beautiful glimmer! Suddenly I was in a panic trying to figure it out! but those dusty pesky old af1s kept getting in my way! So I tossed them accross the room and in the trash! Once and for all! I crossed my arms, shrugged my shoulders and turned my back on them! "Im not going to feel guilty, there's no saving them!" I said aloud.

Then, There it was again! The most beautiful and odd twinkle but this time it made the saddest sound my ears had ever heard. It was devastatingly sad.
I was determined to find out what had just yanked at my heart strings like that! I became obsrssed, and eventually turned everything inside out and upside down in the workshop that day, the mess was total devastation! And I fell to my knees amidst the mess and surrendered hope of ever finding that glimmer of inspiration again.

As I tucked my tail between my legs and cleaned up my destruction, once again I found myself faced with confusion and aw as I stared at a pair of air force ones in the trash can. They were no longer a distant cousin to the color white, they were no longer sad, dark. Dreery, and pathetic. They were about 5 different colors of dripping wet paints and so full of life!

I jumped for joy and claped my hands in excitement then once again from across the room I saw that twinkle twinkle light in the mirrors reflection of myeslf.

So I slapped on a few top coat sealers and finished my mission of restoring the life an old pair of shoes.
The end.
