As the Air Gets Thinner, the Clothes Get Thicker

A swift, chilly, unseen but felt character has entered into the Northern Hemisphere. Many creatures along with the human race embrace this adversary while others, such as I, dread and hate it. The "AKA" for this fellow is the Autumn Equinox.. or in other words.. fall. He will be here until the winter solstice arrives to take his spot and retire him of work until the next year. As the day of September 23rd began, I woke up to the soothing sound of what sounds like a foghorn on a tugboat out in the Atlantic Ocean rolling into port early in the morning with the clouds low and visibility scarce while catering a much bigger cargo vessel into the harbor. The temperature in the room was a palmy 70 degrees. The dorm room no longer felt like a 15 x 10 cinder block encasement. The white painted cinder blocks turned into millions of pearly white sand grains to form the beautiful white sandy beaches along the Florida coast. The wooden paneled desk, closets and door transformed into elegant palm trees and the laptops, notebooks, towels, and chairs morphed into extravagant never before seen creatures that were beautiful to gaze upon. Feeling as if I was in a tropical oasis, the typical clothes to wear in a get away retreat such as this would be shorts and a t-shirt. And that is exactly what I decided to wear for the day ahead.

The time in which I had to leave the white sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean coast came and so I headed out and was quickly reminded of the bad remedies used with vinegar. The smell of vinegar hit my nose like a Muhammad Ali sucker punch to the face. A famous quote from my boy Muhammad Ali that can vividly describe my first whiff of vinegar after leaving the unimaginable beaches in the Atlantic Ocean is "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." No combination of words can better describe how vinegar atoms work. They float through the galaxy like a butterfly and sting your smelling senses like a bee. Chemical warfare is a completely different ball game than vinegar, but to all of the countries looking to impose damage to other well hated countries and not receive international sanction laws for doing so, I propose the falling idea to avoid international sanctioned laws against you... drop homemade vinegar bombs. An instant diplomatic reasoning will be put into effect.

After making it through the vinegar torn air war zone, I made it to the paint chipped cast iron steel door that exits the building and leads to the outside world. I applied pressure to the aluminum handle on the door and pushed, the door swung open and the place I call home, BYU, was seen through the door. All I had to do was step through the doorway and I was there. Exactly 1.3 seconds upon stepping foot outside, the enemy hit me. The fall wind chill was waiting in ambush and saw me step out of the doors of Budge and pounced on me like a snow leopard on a rabbit. I had become accustomed to the coastal retreat of 70 degrees, the sudden 40 degree temperature outside was not to my likings. The shorts meant to breathe well to provide air to your legs so you do not get overheated easily was having a backfire effect on me. Instead of doing its job to provide air to help me, it was letting the cold air molecule to rush through and strike me and make me incredibly freezing cold. September 23rd back home in Arkansas is not like this. It is still warm. Somewhat.

This new 'chilled' air would cause for a new style of clothing. The summer clothing will now occupy the back parts of the droors and the winter clothes will come forward. Clothing.. it brings forth an interesting topic.. Do the clothes we wear reflect our personality????????? In some ways I would have to agree with this. I have written many papers about how people use some ways to reflect their personality or interests for psychology classes. As a fan of the sport known as baseball, I own a lot of baseball shirts. I love baseball. It's what I like to spend my time doing. Most of my friends are people that I have met through games or played with/against. I am not proposing that if you do not play baseball I will not talk to you, I have more friends that play other sports than friends that specifically play baseball, I even have a couple of great friends that are in the band. Nothing wrong with that at all. Judging people on their athleticism is on the line of... stupid. But back to what I was saying, I wear baseball shirts because I like baseball. So when I wear baseball shirts, people will most likely know that hey he likes baseball, why else would he be wearing a baseball shirt. So by simply wearing a shirt, that shirt can show my some of my interests or hobbies. This was a very shortened summary of clothing linked to personality but just remember next time you go to pick out clothes that those clothes may send off signals about you to other folks.

Clothing my reflect your personality or provide clues to your interests and hobbies, but clothing is dependent on some things such as what months it is. Right now, the latest enemy to come into the Northern Hemisphere is the Autumn Equinox. Fall clothing is different than summer clothing. Interests, Personality, Hobbies ==== Clothing ==== Season. (==== represents "is linked to") so your Interests are linked to your clothing and your clothing is linked to the season it is. By what season it is your clothing can change which can in turn change your interests (not change your interests but to other people that can maybe see differences)

The gym shorts and t-shirt that is very welcomed in the tropical oasis is certainly no longer worthy of going outside in the morning. As the months change, so do our clothes. So remember to think about what you wear, you never know who's watching ;)

Sincerely,
