Just when I thought I've seen everything shoe-related, this comes up. I'm talking about the Lego-built Adidas Originals Superstar shoes. Download a QR app for your mobile and scan this for more details.
Below is a speed build video of this shoe.
As of December 28, 2021, this model can be had for C$88. Though the price has been discounted, I think it would have been better served if they made this a pair. Otherwise, I may as well just go buy the real thing that I can actually wear and comes in twos.
As a sneakerhead, I am still tempted because I do appreciate the craftsmanship behind this toy model but there are other styles that appeal to me more. Now if Lego could ever make a build for the ones below, now we can start talking!
Two pairs of high-end basketball shoes were taken by a thieving party-goer in Nanaimo this past weekend.
According to a Nanaimo RCMP press release, two pairs of Air Jordan retro high tops, both black and metallic gold, valued at “several thousand dollars,” were discovered missing after a house party that “apparently got out of control” on Kennedy Street on Dec. 11.
“If you’re hosting a party where unknown people may be attending, it may be wise to put valuables out of sight and keep bedroom doors closed and preferably locked,” noted RCMP in the release.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345 and quote file No. 2021-45882.
Here's a really thoughtful fashion designer. Toronto resident, Luc Houle has created a line of shoes called: "Johnny Footwear" that is biodegradable with apple seeds inserted in them. You can buy these shoes on Kickstarter.
This is a continuation of this post. Please watch the video at this time frame. The death-threat accomplice tried to twist things around to even make the police think I'm threatening her with my blog posts. She charmed management and the police.
I have extreme confidence in my ability to express myself in writing but even that fell on deaf ears.
I have no doubt she's using this charm tactic on the union as well to turn the tide in her favour. These narcissists are dangerous, threatening, and problematic and need to be held accountable, even though in my case I didn't actually get killed.
Since the Save-on-Foods leaders have read my point regarding the D.T.A., they have been frantically trying to have her removed from her job there. However, no matter much evidence I provide that she is and will be a threat and a toxin to her workplace, the union always has her back. Gee, I wish the union would've protected me from the death-threat treatment used by the 2014 death-threat manager to suspend me. Narcissism is what she used to evade any sorts of allegations directed towards her while allowing her to harass (me) at the same time.
The D.T.A. has basically cost me my health and my job by way of breaking the law and she's a threat to torment another person if she is NEVER held accountable. If you don't see the warning signs now, it will be too late. Please learn from the video below mentioning a narcissistic act.
As you can see, the police had a chance to further intervene but missed the warning signs that Gabby was in danger, which ultimately lead to her death. You can read more about the death of Gabrielle Petito involving her fiance, Brian Laundrie in this article here.
It's too bad the Save-on-Foods leaders didn't see the amiss warning signs from the D.T.A. and basically traded away a legit, productive employee for a non-productive, trouble-making criminal. Now it's too late for Save-on-Foods to have me back and knowing how chaotic things are at the store, I know I would've really helped them out and saved & gained them a lot of money.
I say this to the UFCW 1518, yes you are gaining a good chunk of change from her union dues based on her high wage rate. However, the trouble she will cause may cost you a lot more than that. She's already shown she could manipulate my old union rep to have her appointed the shop steward without going through the voting process. She's already been caught twice for selling cigarettes to minors resulting in store fines. She's already gotten me "fired" and that's union dues foregone. Also, I was advised to sue the union for the money amount it cost me for missed work if no settlement was reached. How much more trouble does she have to cause for you to realize she needs to be fired?? A death threat becoming an actual killing performed by a narcissist?? Perhaps the UFCW 1518 union supports the crime committed by the death-threat accomplice. Let Save-on-Foods fire her!!
After winning his Formula 1 race on September 12th, Daniel Ricciardo celebrates his victory at the 2021 Grand Prix by drinking champagne out of both of his racing shoes. More details on how this ritual began can be found here.
Should he continue to drink out of his sweaty shoes? According to this article, Dr. Vincent Ho say while alcoholic drinks inhibit the growth of bacteria, the sugary content in wine and champagne promotes it, which can lead to pneumonia and gastrointestinal illnesses.
If this is the first blog post new readers come across, let me just recap by saying that 3 narcissists used my shoe hobby against me to get me fired, via death threat or slander. Sift through the "Thoughts" and "Stories & Incidents" tabs for full details.
When it was apparent that I was not resuming my employment with Save-on-Foods, the D.T.A. was finally held accountable. She was put on a 6-month medical leave almost immediately after. How do I know? I know because the accommodations specialist framed my assertion towards the death threat as being an unlogical psycho. This tactic was used as a "fancy" way to suspend me. The doctor suggested that I take a 6-month medical leave from work.
I have no doubt they were able to sense something amiss with her behaviour just from my complaints. The same tactic was used to keep her away from work, although this time it was justified. The D.T.A.'s usage of narcissism to avoid punishmentsums up what I've been trying to say to the company leaders all along. It's too bad I didn't know of the word: "narcissism" before I have written that post. When she got back from her paid sick leave, she posted the following in her bio:
It's very unlikely that a narcissist knows (s)he is one, according to this article.
Are Narcissists Aware of Their Disorder?
Ultimately, whether a narcissist knows they are a narcissist is like asking a target of their abuse if they're aware of what made them susceptible to attracting this type of toxic individual. Most people aren't unless they’ve experienced an abusive relationship with a narcissistic individual and have begun the research that typically ensues when seeking answers about the narcissist's cruelty.
However, unlike the individual who learns they have traits that make them attractive to narcissists can strive to develop healthier thoughts and habits, narcissists are not at all concerned with self-improvement…unless it’s a façade and a temporary means of reaching an end.
In short, to what extent the narcissistic individual is aware that they are disordered really depends on the gravity of their condition. But, in any case, don’t expect to get a straight answer to your question from the narcissist themselves. Their actions always speak louder than their words, and that is what you need to pay attention to.
Based on what we know about narcissists and the timing of her denial that she is one, indicates she has been diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder. This woman cares greatly about how she is perceived and it's clearly evident her diagnosis embarrassed her. Narcissists don't understand empathy so claiming to be more than 100% empathetic is just a desperate plea to rewrite people's perception of her. This article states that 5 out of the 9 characteristics below must be met by the patient to be diagnosed with NPD. Sadly, with what I have experienced and witnessed, the D.T.A. meets all of them.
Might I also add that since a narcissist like her can't understand the negative impact of her actions on her targeted victims and her insatiable desires for attention and admiration by her peers, she will traumatize another person again. She is clearly not fit to work. If Save-on-Foods thinks I'm not healthy enough to return to work for standing up to death-threat harassment, then a narcissist who goes as far as a death threat to compete for attention is not only unhealthy but is also a threat to the people in her working environment. Be sure to have her stay punished!!
As promised, I have added more pictures that may or may not have been used as part of this collage. The original owner was gracious enough to take some pictures for me so I returned the favour and bought her shoes. Of course, if I didn't like the shoes, I wouldn't have bought them. They're certainly an excellent addition to my oversized collection of sneakers.
