Converse?

To ‘converse’ is to talk, speak, communicate, chat or discuss, contrary, opposite, reverse, opposing or the reverse, but also a sneaker company!

“1908–1941: Early days and Chuck Taylor
In his late 30s, Marquis Mill Converse, who was previously a respected manager at a footwear manufacturing firm, opened the Converse Rubber Shoe Company (completely unrelated to the Boston Rubber Shoe Company founded by fourth cousin Elisha Converse) in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908. The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women, and children. By 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily, but it was not until 1915 that the company began manufacturing athletic shoes for tennis. The company's main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced. Then in 1921, a basketball player named Charles H. "Chuck" Taylor walked into Converse complaining of sore feet. Converse gave him a job. He worked as a salesman and ambassador, promoting the shoes around the United States, and in 1923 his signature was added to the All Star patch. He tirelessly continued this work until shortly before his death in 1969. Converse also customized shoes for the New York Renaissance (the "Rens"), the first all-African American professional basketball team.”
Thanks to Wikipedia once again and guess what folks, hold on to your hats peeps…. for us who must have been living under a rock… Converse is a subsidiary of Nike, you got it and so both companies you can feel good about …Just do it! AMAZING! For more info just copy and paste the site below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(shoe_company)
How about that?
But we are here to bring up conversations about almost anything, right?
Although, our feet are extremely important too and so sneakers would be the consolation to that conversation about conversing, true?
What?
That’s just utterly ridiculous…hmm, wouldn’t you say?
You see though if you read where the company name came from it was not some unique concept or clever idea or play on words type of thought of gimmickry, oh no, it was just the family’s name, how odd?
And if I do say so myself what an original concept, huh?

Oh no you say, that’s what many firms do, especially law and financial ones.
They never seem to come up with witty or cutesy monikers.
Why they use their birthright family heritages to expound on and even if they sometimes besmirch them by not doing what they should be doing we all know who to blame for their names then become, ‘MUD’.
And in recent years with all that has happened with people in financial institutions and serious dishonesty with attorneys who have been involved in all of it, it makes you wonder why, yes why would anyone do those things, with their family jewels on the line literarily and figuratively speaking, huh?
Gosh, your reputation is all anyone has when you get down to the true nitty gritty in life, isn’t it?
That’s why as a people we must all think clearly and hard before we do anything which could cause regrets, sure we should!
Tobi, me am I listening?
I should be, since it seems that I do daily what I know is NOT right, by SPEAKING MY MIND, oh well… all of you think before you talk or write and I will take it under advisement, how about that? LOL!
Is that something?
Knowing right from wrong and still doing so wrong?
Shame on me.
And many a columnist has it in their past doing some undoing of someone including themselves, but I do so love the fact that a reader of my nightly drivel actually referred to this crap of mine as an actual column?
Wow, he gave it dignity!
More than what I give it…
But that one little word made me feel legit.
Like even thought this nightly tirade of mine had some miniscule value, and for that I am so grateful.
You know something that was months ago and I never did address that comment, I just stowed it away and let it give me a reason to continue with the knowledge that this is something, not just an exercise in vocabulary usage in some type of coherency, ha, I have points to make, ideas to express and useful information to share.
How about that peeps?
It almost makes this deteriorating body and mind of mine feel necessary and useful, and for that I say HOORAY!
Thanks and you know who you are…

On that positive note of a fairly depressing self absorbed day of mine let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
