@corralitos sounds like you have some gratitude for where your life is now and how far you've come. It sounds strange, but now that you've mentioned it, I can look in my closet and see how much my life has changed. I remember in grad school lusting after this RMC sweatshirt or when I was in the parking lot outside one of my first gigs trying to find an IH spring flannel that just dropped for cheaper than the IH website because I couldn't afford it...I'd try hunting around all these Japanese sites to see if I could find the right shirt for cheaper. Now that flannel is lined up alongside many others that I bought retail when they dropped from IH. So yeah, I can see your point. It seems silly, but I am grateful that my life is comfortable enough, with my family's needs met, that I can put some money towards my hobbies.

@StarsSuck I think that's part of it for sure.
But also fuck fast fashion, consuming for the sake of being on trend, and throwing things out prematurely.
You know those videos of kids that freak out when their Dad shaves his beard for the first time? Like they're seeing a different person that took over their Dad's body? Like the running and hiding behind mom kind of stuff?
I like to think that's how my kids think of my IH flannels and denim. If I ever turn the corner in a sub par flannel, I hope they react in terror as if some important piece of their father has been unforgivingly changed. hahaha

Big love to @JoshC
Josh has done his usual magic to bring my very first IH purchase (OD 634) back to fight another day. Super impressive and quality work (not that I should be surprised).
I also scored the new look book. Shit, that's a cool idea! If only I could change my body parts that easily. Would a Michael Phelps top half and a Usain Bolt bottom half work?

I always feel a bit soppy some mornings, but waking up and putting on my Iron Heart jeans just brings a smile to my face, I get to experience these fabrics in my life and it is just blissful.
Have a great week ahead, and do something kind for yourself today...

I just spent a week with dear friends, walking the footpaths of Suffolk. I am profoundly grateful for my interesting little life.

…and once again. I was meant to be on, in, under, and around water. Nothing puts me at peace than that feeling.
Even the guides noticed and remarked on that today…
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

@goosehd I could do without that sky water that just shows up in these weird drops that get all over everything and make driving annoying. Other than that, I'm with you.

@goosehd said in Random Love (anti-rants):
As soon as
shehesayssaid yes, diving from then on. -
@goosehd I think my son might’ve been about 10 and we were snorkeling in Bon Aire and since beach diving was quite easy and popular,he would see the divers coming up and they’d wave to him,and he said I want to do that. So we took a resort course,and the rest is history. He at one point was on a scuba trip,in Israel,where his group got to go diving with guys from the Israeli Navy in the Red Sea.
