awkward story time.

so when we moved here, my mom really wanted to go too a thrift store too find some vintage furniture she could restore for an "artsy" effect.

she wanted me to come, and she said there was a huge one by us called "diversity thrift". now neither of us even thought twice about the name, and went that day.


the entire building was a fucking rainbow, and it was a gay community center. shit got so awkward so fast it wasnt even funny.

Comfiest, most perfectly broken-in Timberline boots ever

Once, me and my friend were chillen, I went over to his place and we were just walkin around town... I'm like 'dawg lets go in the Salvation Army' He was like"Isnt that where homeless people shop?" and five bucks later, he had himself a mint skateboard.

Haha that's what I was thinking. Then I realized, that they don't think we are dicks. They think we are retarted for buying expensive clothes when they buy clothes that are almost as awesome for 3 bucks at a thrift store.
