Bonus Post: Thing 43

100 Things I've Always Wanted To Say But Never Did And Now Maybe Should Since The World Might Be Ending -->

Thing 43:

File this under bet you didn't know the influence you had over me ... but Matt H, wherever you may be, I can now say (with just 43 days left in this current world -- allegedly) that the reason I still wear Adidas  Sambas as my sneaker of choice is because I looked up to you in high school.  Let's face it, you were one of the smart AND cool kids (kicker on the football team, right?) which for a lost soul like me who was sorely lacking in social skills, gave me something to which to aspire until I could fully develop my own personality in college (hey -- I was a late bloomer, remember?!).  I've most certainly grown into my own self at age 40 -- but the Sambas will forever be because of you (and, thankfully, they keep on coming back in style, which sure does help a lot ...).  Here's to you, Matt!  Thanks for helping me although you probably never knew you did!
