Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Punk Shoes

By Kelly Thortan


You can be a part of the fashionable youth of America by adopting the punk shoe style. This style is well known among the public these days. They were in fashion since long ago. Even punk style was recognized in the past. At that time, youth wore esoteric T-shirts with ripped clothes and neon hair styles. With the spikes and chains, the punk look was enhanced further.

A number of variations in punk look have also been made. They are now a part of fashion. These shoes are similar in shape of fleet shoes but are available in a variety of colors. They are also available in shape of rain shoes but are made of different material and have laces too. Some of the shoes have heels also.

You have to dress a bit differently to look like a punk. Your dress should seem an anti of usual dresses. You may have spikes and black shoes or sneakers with spikes. These shoes are very unlike then the normally worn shoes. Punk shoes are fashionable and provide comfort to your feet too. But still their fashion changes rapidly.

Spikes are added to these punk shoes to give them a more punk look. A good thing of spikes in fashion is that they can be added to any thing from hair to shirt to shoes. They can be good to scare a kid but since youth is concerned they won't be allowed to follow this fashion in the schools as this can harm other kids. Minor fights can result in big harms.

Adding stickers and tattoos adds to the punk fashion. This is not only popular among men but also among women. Men prefer using skull or snake tattoos while girls like the hello kitty stickers. These stickers can also be added to shoes with a pink touch to give them a punk look.

Using anti-social slogans on shoes is also a part of punk style. While writing such slogans, the general punk guidelines should be kept in mind. Be creative and anti all things in a way that your shoes reflect your punk soul. While buying these shoes you can visit the websites and all hot topics. A number of punk stores are available. You can ask your fellows and search them on internet.

This fashion is still not evolved the way other fashions are. The main reason is the use of anti social slogans and words in it that give you an unsocial look. By being a part of them with your ripped shirts and jeans, chains and spikes, you may seem cool but you will still not look respectful. This is why punks are not as widely seen still.

So to be part of punk fashion, be innovative. You can write slogans and stuff of your spare shirt. You can make use of rings, chains, earrings and spikes and look cool. You can also make a tattoo or choose a sticker. Do not forget to style your shoes with your creative nature as they are noticed too.
