Paradise Version 1.0

   Whats your idea of heaven? Wait, hold on. Don't answer that in haste. Give it some thought before you think you know how your paradise looks like or feels like.  I think I might have found one of my heavens. A girl is allowed to have more than one heaven, is that not right?  As popular belief goes, you die and go to heaven. And heaven is a place where you feel no pain or hunger or thirst. You are in a a constant state of contentment and bliss, wanting nothing. Sounds more like the after effects of smoking pot. Not that I would know. Anyhow, you get the idea, right? Therefore, if you know of a place where all these things or most of all these things occur....U found your paradise!!

   So much for the prelude, here's the story. A pretty short one actually.And without further ado, let me tell you how my heaven looks, at least one of my heavens. It was brightly lit in fluorescent lights. There were rows and rows of metal shelves, all filled with boxes labeled in different names and numbers. Not just any names, those are names we all love and adore. Any ideas yet?? And atop the shelf  there was a sample of what you would find in each one of those blessed boxes. And there were 100s of them, all lined up, waiting for me.And there I was looking here and there, trying to decide which box I should open first. Okay, don't get restless now! I was in the shoe store. There, I said it! Now you know how one of my paradises looks like. I went to one of those outlet shoe store, Off Broadway Shoes! I was hungry, tired and thirsty before I stepped into the store. But what amazed me was, how quickly I forgot all that. Once in the store, surrounded by shoes on all sides, trying on the ones I liked, I just lost time. I mean it, I lost time! And the icing on the cake, yes there's a best part in this lame story too. It was a brand new store!! Heaaaaveeen!! So there you go, that was my story. I should admit though, even if I forgot hunger and thirst I was far from contented. My brain was working freakishly fast, what should I try, well..hello Mr. Calvin Klein, what should I buy, should I splurge, looking good Lauren, why should I not, after all they are shoes, how do you do Marc Jacobs, ooohh Ms. Simpson,should I look east or Nine West, how many shoes have I already shopped for this season,  but these are shoes, there a few more dozens of these at home, and so on and on. And if you were thinking diamonds are a girl's best friend, think again ;)
