Those who know me in real life, versus web stalking me, will tell you I’m a child. I admit I’m a big kid. Ok, let me rephrase that so I don’t scare all the ladies away, heh. OK, I’m a definite child at heart. Maybe I just have a problem letting go of my childhood. Where is this coming from? Well, I recently went to the mall, another pastime of mine (I was a mall rat) and purchased a pair of Heelys. If you don’t know what Heelys are, you’re old. I’m not joking. Don’t know what they are? You might call them something like rollershoes. Well, after a long time of looking for some, I finally got a pair.

I think my first exposure to Heelys was some time last summer standing in line to get tickets to a car show, when I saw a kid walk by the line then start skating as if he magically had wheels on his shoes. Well his shoes did, but it wasn’t magic.

Recently on a new music video by Usher you see a clip of him using a pair near the end. I’ve been looking for them for a while and didn’t know anywhere to get them, and I was told that they were only were in kid sizes. That is, until I saw the Usher video. I feel like such a kid when I walk around and then come up on my wheels. It’s fun. Buy a pair.

When I bought my Heelys younger brother came to me and said, ”You actually bought a pair? You loser.” The highight of my life is when younger brother who’s a freshman in High School calls me a loser. The very next day he asks me, ”Can I try them?” I tell him he can. Shortly after he comes back with, ”OMG, they’re cool, I wanna get a pair.” Hrm… This actually isn’t as weird as it seems. Many people I know actually think it’s a cool product. Some even want to get a pair. Wonder how long this ”fad” will last at $70-$110 a pair. Yes, I said that much. Buy a pair anyway.
