I need new shoe souls

My shoes are evil.\nThat's right, you heard me. My new running shoes have mystical powers and they have chosen to use those powers not to help people, but rather to do harm.\nYou don't believe me?\nWhile at home Sunday, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a new pair of running shoes so that I could start getting into shape. I went to the store where I made my fateful decision to purchase this nice-looking Saucony pair.\nThen, Monday (yes, just one day later), I was forced to go to a dentist appointment!\nOK, fine. The appointment had been scheduled for some time, and I can't really prove that the evil shoes had any hand in this -- or foot for that matter (sorry) -- but this was just the first in a series of unexplainable events.\nBetween the dentist appointment (which, was cavity free, by the way), driving back to Bloomington and doing homework, I certainly had no time to run later that day. However, since I don't have class on Tuesdays until 11:15 a.m., I decided to wake up early and go running.\nDo you remember what happened Tuesday morning?\nThat's right, we had a freak blizzard on the first day of spring that dumped more inches of snow than I care to talk about.\nCoincidence?\nNo. I obviously underestimated the powers of my evil running shoes. Not only do they have the ability to schedule annoying appointments in the future, but they also control the weather.\nThat's when I started blaming myself. \nWhy hadn't I just chosen the adidas shoes?\nIt's common knowledge that adidas shoes, when given super powers, always use them for good. My adidas shoes would not only have cancelled the dentist appointment and changed Indiana's climate to that of a warm, sunny beach, but they also would have probably steered my run right past a winning lottery ticket on my morning jog.\nBut no, I had to go with the evil shoes. And that's not even the end of it.\nI decided Wednesday that since I still hadn't run this week, I would go that night to the SRSC to do a few laps around the indoor track (no freak blizzards in there).\nHowever, my shoes had other plans.\nWhile running a few errands that afternoon, I went to the bookstore just to look around. As I bent down to take a look at a book on the bottom shelf, my knee suddenly buckled. As I gave a small cry of pain and collapsed in a heap on the ground (I think I handled it pretty well) I knew immediately that my evil shoes had struck again.\nThe worst part is, I wasn't even wearing them at the time.\nAnyway, I think the only thing left to do is watch "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and look for any tricks that might help rid my running shoes of evil spirits.\nSo pretty much, it'll just be a typical weekend.
