...Yeah, there's gonna be some "I told you so's" when this is done.

Someone once told me that new clothes and the like really can make you feel happier, more up-beat, have a brighter outlook on life, etc. Well, I've always been the sort of guy who can survive and thrive off the same shirts and few jeans/pants for months if not a year. I never really need new clothes, other than to replace that which has finally met its time. That is to say, I generally wear clothes to death.

And then Christmas happened. I got a couple of nice shirts, a nice fit-at-the-waist but still baggy legged jeans, which I like, some new shoes, and...a brand new friggin nice ass leather jacket. I mean, we're talking high-end leather, here. And I started thinking about myself, and how little I ever take care of myself. I only shave when I must for work, I only trim my nails when my wife or my job will care, and I never really do anything because it would be healthy or nice just to do it.

With this jacket, though, it makes me want to feel right when I wear it. It makes me want to look good in it, to have a good hair cut, to be clean shaven (since I can't grow facial hair properly to save my life), to work out and get in better shape. I don't know if anyone ever felt quite like this before, but I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Shit, I need to find a group to post this in.

I guess all I'm trying to say is, I've come to realize that settling for what's easiest isn't always the best, and that I really feel I should do more, with this jacket as my new inspiration. Anyways, night everyone.
