So I stood before my closet today for far too long, trying to figure out what t-shirt to wear. Which is ridiculous.
The t-shirt for me is my default shirt, in that I wear it a good deal of the time, but only if I have no one to impress or no other shirt requirements. All of my t-shirts advertise a venue, brand, or idea that I want to advertise, and are a comfortable fit, so they are more or less equal. Which begs the question … why consider which shirt to wear?
I mean, no one really cares. Myself included. So I really don’t know what my criteria is for wearing a shirt? I stand there, and flip through about 20, ’til I find the one that’s right for me for that day. But they’re all basically the same, so why don’t I just take the first one?
Perhaps I’m given so many other choices in life, I feel the urge to make an “informed selection” when choosing a t-shirt for the day. Or perhaps there are subconscious things about each shirt that don’t make them all equal … maybe I tend to wear some more than others? Or maybe I’m just weird.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Sure he’s a cocky bastard. But at least he can make fun of himself a little, as seen here.

Well, Matt and I had a great time tonight at our church, doing a few new tricks and a few old favorites for the crowd. For better or worse, about 75% of the audience had seen us perform in the past, so we knew that we couldn’t do just a standard show.
We premiered two new tricks that they seemed to enjoy, so we’ll likely be adding them to our pro shows soon. One is The Amazing Shrinking Crayon, where a volunteer and I attempt to shrink a large crayon bank. Despite their best efforts to follow directions closely, their crayon always ended upside-down, while mine would be right-side-up. Finally, five magic wands were simultaneously employed to shrink my red crayon down to about half the size.
Another new routine that we introduced tonight was The Rubik’s Race, where Matt and I each race to solve a Rubik’s cube in our own unique way. His was involves sheer skill and talent, as he actually solves the cube before the audience. My way involves a bit of magic, as the cube disappears from a little box, and reappears in my hat, solved. Although it’s staged as a race, tonight we tied, and I suspect that will occur more often than not 
To do a home show for our church “family” is always a pleasure, but the audience tonight gave particularly good reactions and feedback for us, which made all the difference. There’s talk of us performing at the St. Paul “50 Fabulous Years” celebration in November, so that’s something to look forward to!
