socks.

okay,  so today i'm gonna be talking about a very serious subject. SOCKS. specifically, middle school age- guy's socks. you know that statement that people make, "oh guys don't care about their appearance, or how what they wear." well that is SO not true. and it's all proven true by the socks. 

 so it all started, one day (FLASHBACK! cue wayne's world sound effect! anyone get that? no? ok..) when i was walking behind a group of guys and i noticed they all were wearing black Nike socks with white stripes (band alert.) things on the back. then i started to look around at other guys' socks (yeah i'm NOT creepy okay....) and noticed that like every single guy was wearing black or other colors (not white) on  Nike socks. so basically they do care about how they look, because otherwise why would they all be adding on to this trend? and considering they are all wearing Nike, they also care about brands. my friend and i were watching this big group of guys    
on the basketball court, playing a game...without a basketball. so as they were playing their game of invisible basketball, which is already sad as it is, but they were jumping up to try (but failing, keep in mind a lot of these people are really tall.) and touch the hoop. at first i just thought that was just stupid. but i thought about it, and my theory about this was that they were jumping up to show off their socks. since your socks are on your feet ,people can't see them right? jump up, and they're much more easy for others to see. so turning the basketball court into a little runway for your feet. 

my younger brother recently bought a pair of these plain black nike socks before school, so i had to ask him about the trend, since he's a new middle school guy. i asked him about the black socks with white things on the back and he said: "oh yeah, those are so cool, and they're really stretchy and can be pulled like way past your knee. they are like man leggings. you could call them meggings." direct quote. 

anyways, i guess cause i'm a girl, i don't know what is with the mysterious club of socks. but i think there should really be a ban on wearing shorts with socks hiked up to your thighs. honestly? not cool.
