My DH took one look at this page and then calmly pulled out his sunglasses and put them on! Sheesh! Everybody's a critic! I suppose this layout is a little on the loud side. For a brief moment I entertained the notion of using fewer colors and elements, but I have found if I wait long enough, those utterly foreign-to-me thoughts tend to fade away.
No real story behind this page. It is simply an ode to my current favorite pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars. A finer brand of shoe I have yet to find, and could you just die for those colors?
Journaling is taken from a song made popular by Frank Sinatra:
"I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol it doesn't move me at all
So tell me why should it be true?
That I get a
Kick
Out of you?"
and the page title is taken from a quasi-current song by Foster the People.
