Tales from the Hooded Sweatshirt:
The column that comes with a zipper
Picking the name, and the sweater"
Yes the all-important first column,
and what comes
with the responsibility of writing the first column?
Well coming up with the name. I write a column for fun
(and or written to show my friends so they can laugh)
titled "The Things I write down." Not very original I
know, but since I am now writing for "The Askew
Crapper" I figured that a slightly more original title
was called for. So "Tales from the Hooded Sweatshirt"
is born. Another not so original title, as it refers
to a man that we all consider god himself, or at least
worship like a god. Also the fact that I wear a hooded
sleeveless sweatshirt 320 days out of the year, the
rest of the year I stash it away so my parents don't
threaten to take me to a psychologist for wearing a
hoodie that is as worn out as well the dogs bed sheet.
For the curious it looks exactly the same as Kevin's.
Now I know what you're saying: " look at this fanboy
who is jumping on the comfort wagon, wanting to be
Kevin so badly that he chooses his wardrobe according
to what kev wears." To that I say: so. Kevin is not
known to be the most fashionable guy, and guess what
so am I. I just wanted something that made me feel
comfy on my 140 lb 5ft 9 frame, and since I am a
little insecure for being shall we say: skinny. Armor
was called for. So I three years ago headed down to
the local JC penny and bought a regular generic long
sleeved hoodie. I wore that for about two years, wore
it till it was purple. Looking at the behind the
scenes pictures from when JSBSB was in production. I
saw Kevin had found something new, something that I
could wear in the daytime, something less hot. A
"sleeveless" hooded sweatshirt. Genius! I finally
didn't have to gasp for breath in the hot assed
California summer. So what did I do? Well headed
toward Jc penny to pick up my life saving outfit. But
there was a problem: couldn't find it. I looked
everywhere. (And for those that attended the actor
benefit you might find this story oddly coincidental.)
The search went on for a while, then while walking to
McDonald's. I saw something that had never caught my
eye. Is that a bunch of stores behind the target?
(Block away from my house) The first store I went in
to was a Dickies outlet, that didn't just sell Dickies
but a ton of non-brand stuff too. There among the
racks I found my hooded sleeveless sweater I searched
for. And at a discount to boot. I bought two, when I
got home I shoved one in the back of the closet for
back up (haven't seen it since.) and the other well it
currently falling apart around me. I guess a XXL
doesn't last long with a person with a 140 lb frame.
Though by pure luck, the store where I bought it at
has a tailoring shop, which means for a dollar they
will repair anything. Eew! I just discovered a mustard
stain on my white lining, have to wash it now, and
then back to the repair shop tomorrow. Dammit!
Well hope you guys like my column,
I'll try to write
just whatever I feel you'd like, and even shit you
wont. Please give it a chance and keep this site alive
so I can continue to tell my stupid stories. And
please chime in whenever I'm on the board. See you
guys next week, if my column gets picked up. |
