Well, you won’t believe me; I should’ve taken a bloody picture… but a while back at work, in Houston, I saw someone wearing this shirt…

Have you had your ego boost today ? Now that you’re all erect, I’ll have to get you all back limp, of course. Anyway, me being socially awk & all, it took everything in me to start up a conversation, first of all…
Me: “……(i contemplated even starting a convo at all) OH, so you listen to Giant Drag ?!” (marginal excitement)….
Customer: “………..”
Me: “……the uh…. the shirt you’re wearing is Annie Hardy of the band, Giant DRag.”
Customer: *boisterous laughter* “Ohhhh, I’ve never even heard of them…. ! This is my friends shirt !”
Me: (I wanted so bad to do a Facepalm/headdesk). *blink blink*
Sorry Annie…. this story’s a downer, perhaps. But who lends someone a band shirt ? Music is shrine-like, but humans are disgusting & PLAGUE ON HIS HOUSE FOR NOT KNOWING WHO’S ON HIS SHIRT. -.- How dare he not make inquiries. I wanted to mob that shirt off his scrawny little, melatoninly-challenged chest ! He didn’t deserve it.
kind regards,
Medi Jane
Hi Medi Jane,
Thanks for your submission. I agree that humans are disgusting but I don’t fault the one wearing the shirt with my face on it. That actually isn’t even a music shirt as Urban Outfitters sold that shirt which was made by a company called Blood Is The New Black… which my friend and Hearts & Unicorns, Swan Song and now What I Know About Nothing (the 2007 acoustic demos for Waking Up Is Hard To Do) covers picture photographer Dan Monick took the picture backstage at The Glass House and for the past few years I’ve had people from all over the world sending me photos of all kinds of people wearing my face on their chests. I think it’s kind of awesome but yeah.. It is sorta weird to buy a shirt with a picture of someone on it now that I think about it. But it’s totally crazy that my face was at Urban Outfitters. Do you know they don’t even need your permission to do that? They had mine but they can just do that and not pay you. Pretty fucked huh? Humans../
