Recently I have noticed that my apartment was a bit empty... as I had looked around at my living room trying to figure out what standard and non standard artifices I have installed in ma crib, I cleverly figured out the pinnacle of comfort that was missing from my floor...... that large, sometimes rectangular, sometimes amoebic shaped fluffy piece of material called carpet.
Now, as I had learned in this most recent experience of furnishing my flat, there are certain criterias that must be taken into account...
1) Color; Pick something that says you are an individual.. a color that fits the motif of your apartment.... I chose GREEN... Although such an idea turned out to be a slight laughing matter later on.
2) Size: Yes.. don't be fooled.. It does matters.
3) Price; Budget is always important.. especially for the unemployed.
4) Shape; pick something that doesn't shock your friends.. but hey.. its your apartment.. do what you want.
5) Material; Soft is nice. Think about this.. do you really want to "do it" on burlap?
DONT PICK CARPET THAT MIGHT LOOK AS IF YOU HAD PLANTED GRASS IN YOUR LIVING ROOM.....

I had picked for my living room a green fluffy carpet. I thought the color and the tone it gives off was a feeling of comfort. To my surprise it looked as if I was reseeding my floor... A huge rectangular patch of green twisted threads appears as if your living room can be considered as a nice spot for an afternoon picnic... or better yet.. a putting green of a golf course.
The first person I had showed it to (who happens to deal with color schemes on a daily basis) couldn't stop laughing at the site of my living room, with the center of attention focused on the 'Incredible Rug' .. sitting so innocently yet looking so irregularly. (I knew at that moment we weren't "doing it" on this carpet..).
I cried a bit, she hugged me.. said it will be ok... swore that I will get used to it....
It will grow on me...like ... grass.
After moving things around and trying different positions I have been able to counter the green grassyness of my decision... and now i sit comfortably on my sofa, as I run my toes through the grass, I mean carpet, and watch my dog Chopin's confused face decide where he is going to make his next mark.

Just be sure that your dog doesn't think that it is grass, because he might get an amazing idea to poop on the grass :)
yeah, at least dogs are suposed to be color blind :)
