I think three or four people (including myself) have done some repairs on the crotch of these.

Finally got around to getting some more pictures of these:

I was heading through Wisconsin over the weekend and stopped by the store. There was this beautiful full-size taxodermy lion in the window at the entrance. I'd never been to a "denim shop" or talked to a "denim head" in person really and spent some time talking with Ryan. Dude is so nice and knowledgable about everything that has to do with denim and is super excited about stuff.

I was impressed.

I recently got my S510XX 21oz tapered a bit, so I guess this is the beginning for these:

Sam has still gotta beat em down!

: (

I'm not the only one who wears the same clothes every day! Yay.

I added these few things and a few things last minute that didn't get pictured. The patch denim was donated from a pair of Samurai jeans and is 21oz denim.

I am about to mail these to the Communist Republic of China. It was a good run, young Kicking Mules... a good run. The washing really brought out a lot of the color and washed away the nasty gray that seemed to be taking over the jeans. Now that they are ready to go, I'm finally starting to enjoy their color. It happens.

And some washing. I used Thunder Soap and it makes the water all milky and awesome. Dry pictures to follow, much later today or maybe even tomorrow.

Neat Details:

Pre-wash Pictures:

I know it sounds bad, but I'm so excited to get these off my legs. Whenever I get the address, I'll soak/handwash them, air dry them, and ship them out the next day.

Owning up a game a frisbee golf. Totally tore my friends a new one.

Please let me send these to someone soon. I feel like my time is up. I can take it- it's the jeans I'm worried about.

I sat around and watched some friends play video games and enjoyed a dram of Lagavulin scotch.

This one goes out to Kiya. I bought a sweet Yomega original Brain from a flea market for a quarter when my friend and roommate, Gabe, and I were waiting for a pizza. What a deal.

"I don't think it's gonna fit through the hole!" "That's what she said." We got a really big pizza from Luigi's Pizza.

Drove home.

Later, I read a book.

I'm not quite to the "hating putting these on every morning" mark yet, but I'd love to know that I get to mail them somewhere very soon. To be honest, I am kind of tired of them but they are decent dungarees.

Judging by the anger in my last picture, you know that I'm ready to move onto different denim pastures. I have still been giving these my all as my month is not entirely "up" yet, but I'd like to know where to send these. Then I can prepare them with a gentle bath and some pictures of that mess.

Day two of university. And wow- this is one terrible picture. Blue tongue? Oh yeah, that tasty Jolly Rancher for after-breakfast.

Today was the first day of university...

I'm from America's Dairyland...

or Clarksville, Tennessee in the US. I wouldn't call myself motivated, though.

So it was just another one of those nights filled with Sapporo and whatnot. A friend and I tried to do the "eskimo roll" but failed pretty horribly. With a little bit of clear tape and a long PVC pipe, a huge pipe was fashioned to help with the smoking of a cigarette. Who does this stuff, really?

And this is most likely the last wandering the streets of my neighborhood picture before the mules reside in a new place.

Which begs the question, who is supposed to get these next? I guess it's like a week and I'm gonna wash them and send them out all wet in a plastic bag.

So I took a trip to the parent's house to pick up a children's book, some old computer hardware, and hopefully get my mom to sew up that nasty junk that keeps dragging itself into the black depths of hole. She agreed to do it, but she told me the jeans smelled like one hundred butts, so I am going to wash them before I send them out. Has it been long enough? I do believe it is time.

My mom did such a better repair than me, but she also has skills and the machine and I have the needle and thread and my hands that get stuck with the needle.

In addition to the book, hard drive, sweet free repair, drinking a beer with my dad and watching Stand by Me, they had a new puppy so I had to get a shot. You feel me? And he, I've been trying to change my shirt so you guys don't think I'm quite a big a bum as I really am.

So, I've been sitting some more. I even captured one of my favorite meals with these jeans on! That's right: Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell (substitute beans for beef) and a side of that tasty creamy jalepeno sauce. So tasty.

And then I found this baby crawling around my friend's house. So I had to take a picture with the small child.

I think the repaired tear is starting to tear open again. Surgery might be needed soon because my stitching is coming out.

Welp, I haven't been doing crap. I've been sitting in different parts of the house, got some lunch at Taco Bell, and came back to sit some more. I stood up for a little while when I was on the telephone with a friend, but now I'm back to sitting at my computer chair. I smoke a wee bit using Thorns' pipe. I think I am gonna go sit some more.

And here is a short video of me sitting, briefly.

I have no idea about that Scion. We were just stumbling around my neighborhood one night and decided to put the camera on a random car and pose in a random spot, with a random Scion in the background.

I have not had a mule-less day yet. I've been doing a lot of nothing and just chilling out. To be honest, I really don't have anything serious on the agenda for a few weeks when I start university. I went on a short little trip past Nashville with a friend of mine and saw a pretty sweet sign.

And wandering the late night streets in a Texas tuxedo.
