Graduating ...

I graduated in 2005, and I did it all wrong.

I only walked for my college ceremony, and I showed up in a polo and jeans, which was a mistake. Row upon row of guys in dress shirts and girls in slender dresses made me nervous, so I threw on the graduation gown and pulled the neck up as high as I could. I'd never graduated from college before, what the hell did I know?

What I didn't remember until I was walking up to the stage were my brand new Adidas shelltoes, classic sneakers in their own right, but ultimately brand new, white, and shining like a beacon under the hem of my graduation robe. So I grinned and crossed the stage, shaking the hands of my professors, until I got to the Dean of the college, who takes my hand and then pulls me in to say something into my ear. Here we go.

Those shoes are awesome, man ... are they Adidas? Where'd you get them?

You're a pretty regular guy, College. Take it easy.

My older brother went to his business school graduation with sunglasses and tennis shoes.

He knew what he was doing.

I wore a dirty smock and a pair of kleenex-box shoes to my graduation. Did I say graduation? I meant every day.

In typical Ananth faire, the writing is sub par, and in typical Yuko fashion, we never see updates. Bravo on making the lamest duo evvvaaarrr.

Oh god, you both know where I live and I know you both have knives, please just make it quick. .

Your Dean's great question reminds me:

The reader at my graduation accidentally skipped my name, then went back and corrected the mistake.

So the College's president leans over as she shakes my hand, giving me the diploma case, and says with a huge grin: "Are you receiving this degree incognito?"

I attended my college graduation in bright red, glitter-encrusted, six inch high platform heels. They were awesome. I still have them.
