understanding me and understanding you is not an easy thing to do

Listen up, Internet.

Being an advocate of civil liberties as I claim to be on my Myspace profile, I respect every individual’s right to look as stupid as he or she wishes and, hence, do not normally spread around unsolicited advice regarding personal fashion choices. Which isn’t to say I refrain from the pointing and laughing that goes along with your usual wardrobe selections, mind you, because I also respect my right to make fun of you. Like everyone else does.

I’m going to break my own rule, though. I have to, just this once. Because doing so serves humanity’s best interests.

To everyone who thinks it’s appropriate to wear denim shirts with blue jeans:

Seriously?

The denim of your jeans never matches the denim of your shirt, not really. And even if it did — say you bought the jeans and shirt as a matching set in whatever Wal-Mart store located in hell (or the South (redundant)) you usually buy your clothes at — is that really the look you’re going for? Matching denim head-to-toe, broken up only briefly by the braided leather belt your mom bought for you to wear to church on an Easter Sunday long since passed, the one you thought so highly of you worked it into the regular rotation, accompanying blue-green pastel Polo be damned?

No. Stop it.

I don’t care how much the folks at the feed store said they liked it, they were just being polite. You look stupid.

So there you have it.
