:: kaboom. no pain. just fun. ::

 a winter wonderland on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver. for the first time in my life. first time for my feet. my body. and Goran’s. only silence around us. and the snowflakes. we can hear them drift silently down. and then me. falling down making a really loud noise. laughter. photos. and snow in my mouth. I am already imagening next time. and I am thinking about Geilo.

I always loved Cinderella story because of the fact that she run away, but also because of the tap – tap sound that my mom made every time she read it to me while mentioning Cinderella’s shoes. When someone says freedom, I instantly reply shoes. Everything can be solved by walking. Solvitur ambulando. To think about shoes means to admire people who dare to expand their horizons. ‘Oh, my darling shoes and my beloved feet’, as Erica Jong would probably put it down. I strongly believe in my shoes and my feet because ‘my feet is my only carriage’. Don’t get me wrong, I neither have feet or shoes fetish, only an unexplainable and mysterious urge to walk ’cause walking means to be alive. My grandmother used to say that she always had two doctors that could tell her everything she wanted to know about her health condition, namely her left foot and her right foot. And her medications were strong robust shoes because, as she used to say: ‘every sickness comes from your feet’.

A few evenings ago Gorida sat and talked about things from our childhood. I mentioned my great punk – shoes made by Borovo. They don’t produce them anymore. Goran, on his side, could tell how he was convinced that he had suffered terrible emotional trauma at a young age when his mother one day came home with a new pair of ‘lovely shoes with great comfort’ (mother’s words), namely kickers - shoes. A very first look at these ‘brownish and truly ugly Kickers’ (Goran’s words), created an explosion in his head because he was thinking about tomorrow’s day and bullying at school. Looking at him today, I can see that his trauma still feels very strongly many years later :). Anyway, inspired by our chit – chatt about shoes, Gorida decided to start ::addYOURshoes:: - project from today on. The only thing you need to do is to go to our jumpcut – website or to the button “remix” in the window below this post, and add a picture of your shoes. If you do so, you will actually make one great contribution to an experiment on/ in vagabondism. To say it with NIKE’s logo: ‘Just Do it.”
