Today, I’m starting off a new feature. Every couple days (or whenever) I will post a T-shirt that I currently own and am actually currently wearing. (The picture may have been pre-recorded, though, on account of not carrying around a good camera at all hours of my life.) I’ll post a couple comments on the shirt and then give you a little background on where it came from. And just to make sure I can outdo myself, I’m going to do one of my most boring shirts first! Without further ado, here’s the first one:

Yes, this shirt was purchased at my alma mater, the University of St. Thomas. Shortly before graduating, I received a gift certificate from my work-study employer for the UST Bookstore, so I figured I should by some UST merch (besides my uber-cool, limited-edition UST hat). Therefore, I purchased a couple T-shirts that just say “University St. Thomas” in big letter on the front. I usually wear these on pretty boring, low-key days because I’m not that huge of a fan of my alma mater, although I made the best of it.

Since I have nothing exciting to post at the moment, why not just copy stuff from someone else’s blog?  Here’s some from a great post by my friend, Joe:

Because that’s what this movie is about: WALL-E is the protector of EVE and the life she carries inside of her. It’s one of the most beautiful — and perhaps unexpected — metaphors for life, and the role of a husband to protect his wife and family, that I’ve ever seen.

This is just a tiny bit of a great article, so go read it already.  Also, check out Joe’s blog for more great stuff about gaming, life, and cool movies.  Who knows, you might even find Joe and I doing some sort of discussion podcast sometime in the future.  I know, that sounds scary.  I’d probably get bored listening to it myself.
