seeking Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 so after wasting the last year doing nothing but painting and occasinally traveling, i decided to rejoin society, move to the city and get a job. so i packed up a small bag of clothes, grabbed my deck from the bottom of my closet and hopped on the train.... a hellish 24 hours later (it would have taken about 10 by car) i stepped foot in philadelphia. i like philly alot. its not as fucked up as new york, but its not as retarded as jersey (no offense fr80, but your state is filled with morons). you can take a train to any major metropolitan area for about ten bucks... cant beat that. you can ride a bike without folks throwing shit at you (anyone who lives in the midwest in the suburbs should know what im talking about). Recently i got put onto the wonders of the "egg and cheese sandwhich" from the little carts all over the place. HOT DAMN. $1.50 and you got yourself a big oll hoagie bun stuffed with eggs and cheese. grab a beverage and a pretzel youve got a complete breakfast of champions for $2.80! cant beat that shit. oh, but you dont like fried food huh? well, dont even sweat it son! i got a big ass bowl of fresh fruit from a little chinese lady in another cart, for $2.50! she even threw a banana just "on the love" as they say. ive been skating home from work everyday, 2 miles, at midnight. shit is so nice, i had forgotten what it was like to be out at night without a bag full of paint and a case of severe paranoia. right after god invented women, he invented the city, so we could conveniently get food and clothing, all the while being able to watch beautiful women walking all over the place. seeking/thank you hesh,dusty&beard....team philly representa, HOLLA!

seeking Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 its probably not that philly itself is so inherently cool, but i had been staying in the suburbs where you couldnt walk anyplace. if you walked to the store it took half an hour. shit was wack. i guess i just like the chaos of the city. it somehow makes me relax. maybe its like stimulation overload or something... who knows... im just happy to be back in a city. seeks/girls, girls, girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 i dont really shop at the gap much, but its only because most their stuff doesnt fit me, not cause i dont like it. im all about solid colors, no logos, and simple designs. thats what the gap is built upon. i love the gap's ad's. their use of negative space is fucking incredible. im not at all anti gap... not any more so than i am anti-everything i mean. seeking/i dont mind being a clone oner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest --zeSto-- Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I find that funny! I guess one of the perks of being an 'equal-oppurtunity-hater' is it's all getting hated on soon enough. Picture it now.... seeking walks into a gap with a misfits shirt... 6 months later... popgunwar walks out with 3 misfits shirts in the colour of the moment.

seeking Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 i dont actually own any misfits shirts. i had one danzig shirt, but i cant find it. i really dont like logos regardless of who it is, and i cant stand big logos. i have a couple clutch shirts, but even those dont get a whole lot of wear anymore. im a big fan of white t shirts and tan pants or jeans. seeking/if it was good enough for kerouac its good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest --zeSto-- Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I hear you on that... (the simples) but buying t shirts from the gap is like buying sharpies by mailorder... just not worth it. but is it's the only place where yo ucan get logo-free gear... then by all means. zesto/looking and living more like hemmingway every day.

Guest Ted Wakowski Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Sorry, I didn't see Morris's response. About cities, I couldn't agree more. There's something really fresh about the city environment, especially the old, established ones. Steam from grates, brick buildings, rusty fire escapes, weathered graffiti, streetlights, bodegas, train stations and snow, loud noises and late nights. Suburbs can't fucking compete.

Vanity Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 it's all about the pluma from sam's club.. solid colors, heavy duty cotton... my fave shirt since 96.... not so much as a rip, a whole, or wear around the collar/bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
