Yeah, this goes down as one of the lamest things I’ve ever spoken about. However you will soon agree…

Ever realize how everyone (and I mean everyone) has a favorite shirt? You know, it’s the shirt you always grab first when it’s clean. The shirt that you think makes you look remotely desireable by the opposite sex (or same sex- not that there’s anything wrong with that). The shirt that you’re always seen in pictures- in fact, it’s the shirt you’re wearing in any of your online profile pictures (your myspace, facebook, etc).

So why do we have a favorite shirt?

Maybe it’s because we like how it feels. Or, we like how it tucks nicely into our pants and doesn’t ride out when we’re hopping in and out of the car. Or, maybe it’s a shirt that hides stains well- because you know you have a problem with mustard. Or perhaps it was a gift from a store that you don’t own many clothes from - like Banana Republic or J.Crew- not that they’re top of the line stores but you probably don’t shop there too often. I mean, who wants to spend $62 for a checker-pattern button down wing-tip shirt that just happens to match that v-neck sweater you got 2 Christmases ago?

Your favorite shirt becomes your avatar- you’re depiction of you. How you perceive yourself in the third person. And most likely, the shirt you’d want to be buried in if you died right now. Coincidentally, it’s probably the shirt you died in so you’re in luck.

So, do that old shirt a favor. Pull it out and wear it with pride. Wear it every damn day of the week if you want to. You know why? Because it’s one of the few things you have going for yourself at this very moment in life.

P.S. This goes down as the stupidest post to date. Know why I wrote it? Well, 1) my favorite shirt is in the dirty laundry as we speak. 2) My wife and some random people that were concerned about eatzi’s closing are all that frequent my site. Not being bitter, but it’s sorta funny.
