Much like writer's block, I can't think of anything to write about tonight, so i'll ask Jenny for a topic or word and freewrite from there. Here goes.
She picked the word "sweater." Here comes my unedited thoughts.
Just a couple of days ago, Jenny realized that laundry should not become one of my habitual jobs. I was doing loads of whites and the second load was smaller than it could be so I grabbed an armful of light clothes to put in with it. When we went down to put those clothes in the dryer, we found out that I had put a "dry clean only" sweater in and it had gotten ruined in the wash.
I destroyed that sweater. My favorite song by the band Weezer is about destroying a sweater. To do so, you just need to pull this thread as I walk away. Weezer was the first band that I paid for concert tickets to go see. I saw them in my early high school years playing at first avenue downtown.
Whenever I picture the first avenue concert complex I can't remember Weezer and instead remember the band who opened for them and the weird video animation they had going on the screen behind them. It was like an old Japanese horror film.
I never understood why Class Sweaters got changed to lettermans jackets. I probably would have liked a sweater better, and never got a jacket, instead choosing to get a class ring. I haven't worn my class ring since high school. Do students even buy class rings anymore?
I feel like i've typed enough now, so i'm finishing this unedited, free-flowing thought of a blog. Sorry for the randomness that ends with no actual point.
