Once Upon A Shoe

I'm having a day.

That’s testing my patience.

But I’m not supposed to allow my patience to be tested. I’m supposed to just be able to manage it.

Fuck.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

- Calvin Coolidge (via theviesociety)

The Burger Joint: one of New York’s ‘secret’ restaurants

Hidden behind a giant red velvet curtain within the lobby of the 4-star Parker Meridien hotel in New York’s midtown is a ‘secret’ classic American burger joint.

While the lobby is a mixture of sharply-carved wood, polished marble and over-priced artwork, the Burger Joint’s heavily-graffitied walls are lined with dog-eared promotional posters featuring Steven Seagal, The Ramones and the amusingly-defaced cast of Sex and the City.

Above the ordering hatch is a piece of cardboard explaining the basic ordering process, which is essentially just: hamburger or cheeseburger? No fuss.

The burger, too, is fantastic. Tender, juicy and packed with flavour. I can’t tell you how the fries are, because fries and I are currently ‘on a break’, but they looked great.

A surreal but great fun place to stop for a top quality burger.

I apologise for the quality of my photographs - I left my camera on the wrong setting.

reblogging to remember for future NY trips…

I got this from Flotrack.

Shalane apparently told Kara Goucher at the start of the marathon in London “let’s fuck shit up.” Any girl with that kind of a mouth is a personal hero of mine.

I want to have kids to watch me run and inspire them to do fun runs like my dad did with me.

Omg - kids’ faces while they run kill me.

Here’s a pic of the Boston Cream doughnuts at my local Tim Hortons.

Trust me when I say that the Tim Hortons doughnut is the highest form of recognition in Canada.
