Marriage and the Power of Divorce

Hm I can't remember what denim I was actually wearing at the time that I met my wife. I think it was my Nudie Slim Jims. Could have been my Alfs though. Come to think of it I think it went Finns, Alfs, Jims, APCs. I bought the APCs when I got my puppy which was after my wife and I were dating and I bought my Alfs when I was with my ex-GF.

raw = unwashed denim
selvage = continuous weft yarn (basically the yarn goes back and forth and creates a "self edge" -> selvage. Non-selvage uses individual yarns for each weft pass.)
weft = horizontal yarn (the "inside")
warp = veritcal yarn (the "outside")
sanforized = jeans were pre-shrunk via sanforization method. Unsanforized denim will shrink ~8-10% on the first wash but is in a rawer state than sanforized raws.

Your hobby is wearing pants. How do you not feel used paying $400 for $2 worth of material?

Lol you're uninformed on the subject so I don't really care but the materials and craftsmanship for the pants I wear far exceeds $2. If we want to talk about spending money on things that logically make zero fucking sense lets talk about your baby.

Shit just got real...

Wait, what?

Having a baby is a complete money pit. I know it is a completely stupid hyperbole to compare a baby to my problems with spending money on expensive denim. I also want to apologize for mocking your cutting board.

Soygen_sl said:

Dude, having babies is our fucking biological destiny! Without people making those little money-pits, we all wouldn't be here.

I accept your apology. The cutting board has been really put to the test over the last few weeks. It works as advertised. I can cut things on it.

My $400 jeans also cover up my legs. It is nice when a company fulfills their promises.

Without those Japanese having babies. You'd have no one to sew up your precious denim.

It is actually a dying art in Japan. Many of the artisans making some of the best leather and cotton products in the world are retiring. Luckily many fashion brands are moving their made in operations to Japan so I doubt it will completely go away but smaller-scale companies like the reproduction brands may have a hard time finding workers.

Was Julian murdered or something?

Tenks is right on this. The Japanese developed denim folding techniques that far surpassed what the western world would accomplish for hundreds of years.

I'm so sorry for the derail..

Whatever to happened to Onoes and Julian? They would not talk about YA fiction.

Yup, I have no comment on fiction or denim.

Nothing new or exciting in my life. Went on my big trip, had no luck with woman the entire time. Came back and went drinking with some friends last week, and 2 not very attractive ladies hung on me all night. At 3 a.m. I went home with one of them. We had possibly the worst sex I've had since high school. She didn't have a great body and so tried her best to hide it, she mostly just laid there and made little grunting noises. Her vagina did not feel nice. After a short time she asked to flip over and be on top. That was worse. After a bit we flipped back over and she started asking me to cum, it was also very clear she was drying up. When we finished she started smoking (something I kind of hate.) smoked 3 or 4 cigarettes while talking to me. I mostly just wanted to go to sleep and finally said so. I woke up in the a.m. and left immediately. I went home and showered, feeling gross and being pretty disappointed in myself. The girl was nice enough, but I wasn't attracted to her at all, and basically was just feeling lonely and wanting "something". Had it been an awesome sex time I'm sure I would have felt much better about it, but as it ended up just being bad, I never really felt any physical or emotional payoff.

The girl from out of state (the rich one) came out this labor day weekend and I met up with her. We hung out, and went to dinner, but she had her daughter and I had my kids, so we never even had a minute alone together. I was hoping I would stay the night, or she would come home with me, that we would end up with some alone time somehow, but it never panned out.

So yeah, in the last 3 months I've had 3 nights of sex. 1 with super crazy bondage girl, 1 with really good and fit rich girl, and 1 with super depressing bland lady.

See, I only share when I have something to share. I'm kind of in a rut. /sorry
