Goodwill has failed me...

A thrift store has failed me.

This quarter, in order to look more hip and fresh (as the kids call it nowadays), the Singing Men of Ohio changed their uniforms from a tux shirt and button cover to a regular button-down and tie. Being a member of this esteemed organization, I was against the change but because majority rules it was decided nonetheless. So, after using my $160 current uniform for two years and, I now had to spend another $30 to buy a white shirt and tie.

This is where thrift stores come in. I am not buying another new white shirt for $20. I am poor. I have a broken car. I have bills to pay. I have college to pay for. I am not buying a new white shirt, so what do I do? I go to a thrift store.

BUT ALAS!

They had no white long-sleeved button-down shirts. It's really a sad day. We really need some quality thrift stores in Athens. I don't need to support the corporate nightmare that is Wal-mart or any other large stores in this town.

I am really just complaining at this point, but I hate when something I support so much not support my clothing needs. (It's hard to communicate sarcasm in the written word, so read that over with a different tone)

Anyway, my point...

Sometimes a thrift store doesn't have a whole lot in what you need, but a thrift store somewhere probably has it. If you live in a small town with few choices than you take what you can get. If not, keep looking around the surrounding area. Anything goes in thrift store-land. That's where the fun is.

Seriously...anything goes.
