The Wee Democracy

shifts in allegiance

after high school, you change. you get to college, and sometimes, before you know what you've done, you've changed a part of you that you thought would always be the same. all of a sudden, you're exposed to all kinds of diversity, people from different socio-economic backgrounds, from different countries, people who like journey. they introduce you to things, and you show them what you like. you share different ideas, when before, hell, you didn't even know that so many people believed in something else.

it began for me, on the friday at the end of spring break. i went to the mall with friends bryan and brett. i had to get something, and i could only get it in one place. i'm talking, of course, about briefs. i enjoyed the comforts of towncraft underwear, a brand which can only be found at JC Penney. i went, bought a 3-pack, and took it home. the next day, i broke out a pair, only to discover *gasp* horror upon horrors! i had bought a 3 pack of....boxer briefs!!!

my boys were used to support, and the ethos of the boxer brief was foreign to me, like when you go on vacation, and you see that NBC is on channel 7 instead of channel 5. but, if i have a clean pair of underwear, regardless of style, i'm going to use it. and behold! i grew accustomed to them. they gave me the support of briefs, and the non-constrictiveness of boxers.

but the winds of change blew again in the recent past.

last summer, i started dating this girl, and i was like, hmm....tightie-whities, regardless of cut, are just not kosher. so i bought a couple pairs of cotton jockey boxers. they were ok. i liked them, and when i did the wash, they were the first pair i broke out of the basket.

then...yesterday....i fully switched sides. i bought two more pairs, and plan on buying even more. now, i'm not going to shift sides over night. boxers are expensive at times, and if i have to wear my old undies to avoid doing that sysyphan chore that is laundry, i will.

but for now -- boxers are good.



feeling: freedom!
thinking of: the gorilla - a fucking gorilla escaped from the dallas zoo....how awesome
song of the day: just a friend - biz markie
