day two of this experiment. today was a long day at work, where i forgot to bring my power chord for my computer, and consequentially didn't accomplish as much as i would have liked to, but i'm still alive so i suppose that is a good thing.
at lunch today i went to bennet's bbq again, and i've determined i don't really like bennet's. their bbq isn't very good, plain and simple. but while i was there i started to write up a list of things i would like to write about this month. so i was fairly productive. not only did i do that, but i began to sketch out some thoughts as to what i believe will help me in writing and playing music a bit more in the upcoming future. this is good since last night i busted out the rhodes and poland to begin brainstorming some new creations. that was fun.
so on to what i wanted to write about today. my recent clothing purchases. i don't have much time to write since i need to learn four new songs in the next hour for band practice tonight, thus clothing purchases is the only logical thing to write about.
last night i purchased some new clothes. really, other than the pair of converses i recently purchased via ebay and the new package of underwear from target, i haven't bought anything since before my accident. in fact, i purchased a sweater that was cut off of me the night of the accident just weeks prior to ending up in the hospital. so i was bummed about that, because it was a neat sweater. but yesterday a friend alerted me that the website from which i purchased said sweater was having a huge sale. she wasn't kidding. so i looked around on this primarily female targeted website, and found a few things. all very hipster looking. but all fairly nice. so i ended up getting two coats, a sweater and a cardigan. huge day for me. but with everything at $10 or less how could i say no? the problem that arises after purchasing new things is that i now have more things. and i'm not really all that good at getting rid of the old things. i figure most people wouldn't want my old things, and i don't want to throw them away, plus maybe i'll come to a place where i might need said old things and they will become useful again. i'm not really one to keep up with fashions and trends, so thats not a huge deal, but i suspect it is nice to wear something new instead of that same t-shirt i've been wearing since high school... (i say t-shirt singular as if there is only one instance of this... there may be more in the upwards of 25-40. not just t-shirts either, i wear shoes into the ground and still have some from high school (i still own and sometimes wear my beloved orange nikes), i've had some pants for 10+ years, collard shirts sure i still have em, lets not even talk about underwear (i'm changing them out, last real purchase on this before three weeks ago was over seven years)). all of this to say, yesterday was a big day. come this fall you might see me around and say to yourself, the individual next to you, or even to me, "hey, he's(you're) lookin quite hip there young fellow. i bet he(you) would like a high five." and the answer to that is absolutely.
but for now, until the mail shows up and the weather cools off, i'm gonna stick with what i've got. i mean, it hasn't failed me yet. well, not in a major way at least. there was a time once before a concert in ft. collins i had to make a last minute trip to the arc to buy a new pair of jeans after a mid day show ended with a blow out in the crotch of the jeans i was currently wearing. further on this incident, those were my favorite pair of levi's at the time. sad day. but while at the thrift store i found another pair of the exact same levi's, tried them on only to notice they too had a blown out crotch, so it was a defect in that styling. at least they almost lasted about a year. rest in piece black/grey levi's style 527.
well, enough talk of clothing articles. that is all for day two. off to practice.
