Bohemian

I almost never wear a suit. The last time I wore one was a couple of years ago, to a wedding. I hate suits. I used to have to wear a tie everyday to high school, and it sucked.
Conversely, I actually like uniforms, but only in certain circumstances. When I'm at home, I tend to dress, well, like a slob. I usually wear carpenter pants and a t-shirt and sneakers. If it's
chilly I'll wear an old denim shirt or a flannel; that's how I'd like to be buried, no damn suit for me; I'll come back to haunt whoever buries me in a G-damn suit! I used to be a redneck, jeans and boots; but over the years, I've come to dislike jeans most of the time; they're just too damn hot! Hence, the carpenters. As for shoes, I really, really want to get a pair of Birkies, but I'll settle for a good pair of new Sanuks. They are totally cool, in a kinda bummy- like way. Reminds me of my vo-tech teacher( I took masonry), he always said," doesn't matter what you do, even if you're a bum, just be a good one". I guess I've kinda taken that to heart, 'cause that's what I am-
a good bum. Truth be told, I hate convention. I don't want to be like everybody else, I never have. I remember being in grade school, thinking, "I don't want to follow the crowd". Case in point, when I was in fourth grade everybody loved Kiss, I didn't, just on principle,( I still don't,
I think their music sucks, although I must admit Gene Simmons is a cool guy, in a greedy,
narcissistic way). I just didn't want to be a member of the herd. If there was any way to describe
myself, I suppose Bohemian would be just as good as any. But...it goes WAY beyond just fashion.
I take that course everywhere in my life. I'm lazy by nature, I really hate work, I'll do it, sometimes I want to, but more often than not, I just want to chill. I love it when somebody I work with tells me, " man, I got a lot of work to do this weekend", that cracks me up! Dude, you
just put 40 hours in, why in the hell do you want to do more? Not me! Oh, I'll do my shit, like
wash clothes, dishes, etc., but other work?, nah! not for me. Yeah, I'm not rich, but then again, I
don't want to be either. I have to go with Thoreau on this one. He definitely was one for the ages!
The older I get, the less stuff I get I excited about. I gots more to say, but I'll save it fer another time. Just remember, keep it simple, and you'll never be over burdened.
