spend time with your kids talking & doing activitives (take a walk, go to the park, play ball, etc.). imho folks have a tendency to substitute material things for basic interaction with their youngsters. i'm tired of folks not knowing their kids. if you can't tell me your kids favorite color or who is their best friend, what movies & tv shows they watch then the problem isn't the kid it's the parent. the more plugged in we become it seems alot of us are missing basic interaction with people trying to get that brass ring. oh & some folks just shouldn't have kids, let's be honest. you need a license for everything but they let any asshole have a kid.
This is one of the most refreshing things I have read in a while. Good on you, Monday.

My last two phones have used a micro SIM card. I swapped out both of them for cards with more capacity. I like the micro SIM, sorry Ron.

I agree rnr.
I'm not really a fan of shopping at Self Edge. It's cool to see all the stuff there and the workers are nice enough but it just makes for such an awkward experience perusing the clothing while its dead silent (no other customers) because you feel like the employees can basically hear everything you say.

Why on earth wouldn't a jeans store have rock music blaring?
-
There definitely was music playing but it was pretty low. When you went to the other SE's were there other people in there?

Johan, Casey, and Tyler are more than nice guys but I feel like the uncomfortableness just can't be helped. Sad Tyler left, he was my favorite

In honesty Ben, I think it'd be worth dropping this feedback to Kiya. If enough of his clientele let him know this, he'll change it.
Bahahahahahahaha.
Man, I wish that were true. I love your optimism, Snowy, but this is very doubtful.

I look at pics of some folks footwear, which others compliment of being "beautifully broken in", and I just think it looks fucked. If I spend $400 - $600 on boots I am not going to want to take chunks out of the leather on a regular basis, this is surely insanity.
I wear my boots without much due care and attention (just normally I would say), so I have absolutely no idea what people are doing to their boots to get them in such a state. If it's work which does it (construction, mechanics etc…), then surely that would be better in a pair of actual safety boots rather than some horse hide semi dress or something like?
I don't get why folks buy expensive clothes, and then set out to fuck them up as quickly as possible?
I know I run the HWDC and HWBC, and it is a genuine worry for me that some competitors seem to think that the right thing to do is to prematurely beat the shit out of their gear, come on people...get real here !

Further expansion….
I conclude that most folks are either far richer than me, or genuinely just want to make their $3k outfit look like clothes they borrowed from a homeless, former 18th Century coal miner.
A lot of the brands we're into make really nice stuff, which will look amazing over time of you have the patience. If you don't you will literally have thousands of $'s worth of rags, and boots that look like your dog has chewed them.

I'd rather see some naturally aged denim or boots with less obvious wear, than items which look like they were used to climb the north face of the Eiger any day…...unless the person did actually climb the north face of the Eiger, in which case kudos to them.

Agree i do not baby my stuff but also at the same point do not smash it on purpose, just wear like you do Gav. Also do not care much about fadings, this is one of the reasons i am not participating in any comp.
however i need good reliable strong boots as i am out a lot with the doggie dog as my feet are "sensitive" lol. I leave the outcome to my daily lifestyle and not thinking too much about it. Everybody at his / her own discretion and gusto.

I'm certainly not "anti fading", as that is to some regard the point of the HWDC. I would just rather see what happens to the garments naturally through daily wear, and normal washing.
I can't be the only person who sometimes looks at a pair of jeans posted on any forum with unbelievable sharp contrast fades and thinks "Come on, really? No-one does that to jeans, it looks so fake".
I know that it is virtually never the case that people fake their fades, but some of the wear patterns just look artificial and cheapen the look of a classic item in my opinion.
David, as always I like you attitude and style dude.

On the flipside if he doesn't know he has no possible chance of changing it. Nothing to lose dropping him a mail.
