Khakis and white sneakers Aug 14, 2006
For several years now, I've been casually observing strange people (males) who wear khaki pants and white sneakers (usually high-tops).  Not that I'm in any position to make judgements about other people's fashion sense, but I doubt many people would argue that this is a very unusual and "uncool" style.  I used to see it in high school, and I figured it was a passing trend that people would eventually grow out of.  But then I saw a few people who dressed like that in college.  At that point, I figured these people would probably grow out of it the next time they bought clothes.  But later on I'd see them with brand new khaki pants and brand new white shoes. 

The bottom line here is that it just looks terrible.  I'm not a fan of white shoes to begin with.  But coupled with khaki pants or jeans with big seams at the bottom, white shoes look ridiculous.  Like I said, I'm no fashion queen king, but even I know this doesn't pass as "acceptable". #lifestyle
Motorcycle parking Aug 14, 2006
Although I have a longing for a motorcycle, I can't stand when they waste parking spots.  Especially when they waste good parking spots.  A normal parking spot is for a full-size vehicle, not a tiny little motorcycle.  You could easily fit 4-6 motorcycles in a standard parking spot.  And motorcycle riders usually travel in packs, so this shouldn't be that difficult.  My advice (or plea) to motorcycle riders is to stop wasting parking spots.  Park farther away or park with a friend.  Park on the sidewalk.  Park in that dead zone near the handicap spots.  Whatever you do, just stop taking my parking spot. 

I used to work at a place that had designated parking spots for motorcycles.  This was the smartest thing I've ever seen.  A normal parking spot was divided into 2 or 3 smaller spots and a sign was posted designating those spots for motorcycles.  No complaints from car drivers, and no complaints from motorcycle riders.  Parking lot zen. #travel
