Check Out My New Kicks

School is starting for everyone again. It's weird seeing everyone else change up their schedule and everything and not having to do a single thing myself.

Remember back in the day, maybe even a little bit today, when school shopping just made you feel like you were the shit? First couple days of school you would try to find your coolest shirt you bought from Walmart or the mall and wear that shit with pride. It still had that hasn't been washed look and smelled new to.

Looking around at kids just starting school again, I see it a lot. it's more noticeable with guys though, I think. Like, there is this one kid at my sisters bus stop. He comes walking up in his brand new stone cold t-shirt, new khakis and his imitation skate shoes from Payless. Every five seconds he would look down at himself, bring his hands down and fix his shirt. Or brush off his shoe. Or whatever. Just to make sure he still looks good.

But of course, come October and that kid won't give 2 shits about stone cold and his corny t-shirt.



Admit it though, we all did it, and to be honest, I still feel pretty damn good in a fresh from the mall ansomble.
