\"Media_httpfarm4static_aaafa\"I often wonder if I might suffer from some degree of OCD<\/a>. The latest evidence of which is today’s project, sorting and cataloging my t-shirts<\/a>. I have too many t-shirts, and it would not be an unreasonable chore to look through them for ones that I might throw out. But I couldn’t just do that. T-shirts are one of my primary pieces of clothing. I have acquired those that I have over many years, and most of them have some sort of personal or historical significance, at least to me. Before any purge, there must first be a census!<\/p>\n

So what did I find? Here’s some results from my T-shirt Census:<\/p>\n

Total Count:<\/strong> 54<\/p>\n

Type Breakdown:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Political: 14
\nI acquired a few in this last year, my favorite of which was this Obama\/Biden<\/a> shirt purchased at the Democratic Convention in Denver. I attribute Obama’s historic win in Virginia to my wearing of this shirt while running in my Northern Virginia burb. But I also love this bush-basher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sports Related: 17 (5 Chicago Cubs)
\nMusic\/Band: 1 (wow, this is a change. In my younger days, just about all of my shirts were concert tees).
\nBlank: 3 (two orange, why?, and one single plain white tee).<\/p>\n

Top Colors: <\/strong>
\nWhite & Grey: (combined total of 21 shirts)
\nTie-Dye<\/a>: 2<\/p>\n

Top Brand:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hanes & Gilden: 7 each<\/p>\n

Age:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two that date to the 80s. One of which, I’m embarrased to say is a black tee that reads ‘Hustler Muff Dive’, which I think I acquired in high school and I hope I’ve never worn, but just never through out either. The other says, “Miru Mir”, Russian for “Peace on Earth” from the foreign language house I lived in off campus at UCSB.<\/p>\n

My favorite in the batch is one of the oldest. It’s a black t-shirt from the Internet World Conference<\/a> I attended in 1995. The shirt has held together enough to wear, but the fabric has achieved a unique softness that feels nothing like the heavy cotton it once was.<\/p>\n

What other insights did I gain? Probably just that I need to do a better job prioritizing my tasks. Feel free to browse my list of tee shirts here<\/a>, and see what insight you can learn about me from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
