Ore-gone Thriftin’

I’ve spent the day wandering around Portland, and I think moving here is the right choice. (I’m really gonna miss SF :( :(:(:( ) The art and music here is just as good though. Portland loves them some vintage clothing stores. Lots of old t-shirts, and lotsssssss of plaid flannel. Okay yeah, that’s mostly the stuff I wear anyway, but who thinks most men’s clothes suck!!? I spend houuuuurs looking at shit, and I hate 99% of it. The new stuff sucks and costs too much, the old stuff is gross and dirty, and since I can’t afford $1500 jackets, all I get isĀ good basics, thrifty thrift, and shit I make/print. I’m sick of wearing plaid/gingham button up shirts. BLahblahblahhhh. I’d shave my head and wear white tee’s and jeans, but I’d freeze my tits off up here. Cut to me 2 months from now:

People here seem pretty nice in general. I’ve seen a lot of weird people, but it’s the good kind of weird. There’s the good kind of weird people in San Francisco, but there are also the kind of weird people that make you pretend you don’t understand English. It sounds weird but Portland is kinda like half SF, half North Carolina, but all the good stuff. People are nice and will speak to you, but aren’t aggressively ignorant. It’s got its city thing going on, but is clean and not stinky. Sorry SF, but sometimes you smell like Alpo dog farts when I try to walk my dog to the park. Portland is so clean you could eat off it. Above all, I am glad to not be paying REEE-DICK-UUUU-LOUSSSSS kick-you-in-the-nuts rent. I miss SF already.

P.S. I wrote this post last night, but I was kinda drunkie and forgot to publish it. Whoopsie.
