I was a little kid and we spent a month in Germany - twice - and we hung out a LOT with the soccer teams there.. I thought the goalies were MEGA COOL because they wore gloves.. so, even tho we didn't have a soccer league back then, I wore gloves all the time during recess at school and riding my bike after school.. I guess I never lost the love for gloves..
I even wear a batting glove now when I hit tennis balls - the coolness factor and not wanting blisters which would screw up playing guitar..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
