If you’re thirsty, wear a tshirt!

Dehydration is a big problem in the summer months, especially with global warming, low water supplies and the fact that everybody drinks soft-drinks in place of water. How is this a corollary to the wearing of short-sleeved garments, I hear you ask. Well, in high-school one of my best friends coined the saying ‘if you’re thirsty, wear a t-shirt. When you go surfing, be sure to wear a t-shirt’. Though it makes little-to-no sense, I thought I’d use it as the title to this post.

This post actually has nothing to do with thirst, but everything to do with me popping my t-shirt-making cherry, so to speak. Last night after finishing up with a work project, I realised that I was faced with three options:

Begin another work project, thus spending all day on the grind.
Abandon all productive endeavours in pursuit of some serious couch-surfing.
Combine productivity and relaxation by being creative.

It was obvious to me which I would pick – mostly because I didn’t want to spend all day working, and second-mostly because I was able to watch TV shows AND be creative at the same time.

Alas, I digress (as seems to be the fashion on this website). I have long had a desire to make my own t-shirts, since retail tshirts are either too commonplace, too popular or too expensive. Last night, after much deliberation, I took hold of that desire and made myself a fashion garment. Here are some photos from the momentous occasion.

If anyone has any cool ideas for more t-shirts, let me know – I’m always on the hunt for design ideas. Now, ’tis time for me to go outside and enjoy what’s left of this gorgeous day!
