This may seem very out of the blue to all of you, but first I must explain myself with the background information. Sweater vests are possibly the greatest articles of clothing ever invented. I have done extensive research and it seems that the person who came up with this is not taking credit for their work. Maybe they wish to lead the life of a normal human being, which would of course be compromised by the popularity drawn from creating a world-wide sensation. I suppose the world will never know. Anyway, the reason these sweater vests are so popular is because they look exponentially better than a regular old sweater. It allows for creativity not only of the vest itself, but the shirt underneath. There are various styles: shirt tucked in, shirt untucked, collar inside the vest, or collar outside. One can also wear these with jeans and khakis interchangeably. My personal preference is a plain vest with a nice-looking shirt underneath. The collar is out and the shirt is tucked in. Jeans typically suffice the look, although I do go khakis from time to time. Sweater vests can be particularly useful for those men who sweat often, usually with a high perspiration concentration in the arm pit area. It can keep one warm in the chest area while letting the arms, and more importantly the pits, breath. This is useful for men who don't want to scare a lady off, but who still want to look dapper.
You may be wondering why this information is significant for the time being. Well Omar, who you probably know pretty well by now, Jake (formerly TBD), and the rest of the basketball team came to school dressed their best (except for he-who-shall-not-be-named in the Dickies). Omar began to mock me, saying "Sweater vest Tuesday: didn't last long did it???" Although this is a pathetic burn, and it is the extent of what Omar's brain capacity will allow him to make fun of me for, it did get my juices flowing. For about the whole first semester of school, I wore sweater vests. I deemed it Sweater Vest Tuesday. Now, I did not get much support in my quest for a sweater vest day. It seems my fellow colleagues were aware that they could not pull it off like me. No one wore it except for B-Hick (my bull). I kept it going for the whole first semester, but had to end it because of a lack of participation. These snide comments by Omar made me so motivated that I have decided to bring it back. That's right folks, it is now officially Sweater Vest Thursday. Even if you do not have a sweater vest and would like to participate, a sweater, underneath of which would be a collared shirt with the collar sticking out, would suffice. I will be implementing a sweater vest (or sweater-with-a-collar-sticking-out) counter at the bottom of each blog entry, starting with this one. However many I see, I will put that down there. In fact, the first person that I see wearing an actual sweater vest will get a personal shout-out at the bottom of the blog. Now, I doubt I get a big turn-out tomorrow, considering it is nearing 10:30 on the east coast (for that one viewer in Santa Clarita, California, I know you are out there) and approaching bedtime. I will still wear the sweater vest and will be expecting a big output of participation of sweater-wearing next week. Even if you do not go to my school, a sweater vest is a wonderful way to meet new people and eat Big Macs with the ladies. So please, to my viewers everywhere, please do a good thing for humanity, and spread the use of sweater vests.
