My latest purchase, in an ongoing attempt to live my life more functionally, was a pair of plaid bermuda shorts.  The same ones all the kids are wearing these days.  The same ones that can be found in the young mens department at Mervyn's.  I'll admit I kind of feel like an asshole wearing them, but I find them to be so comfortable that any shame I feel wearing them in public is diminished because of the comfort.  They also came in really handy at the airport.  I was saved the indignity of taking off a belt in the security line because the shorts have a built-in drawstring.  Taking off my belt in the security line is fine, it's the putting back on part that's embarrassing for me.  When I put my belt on I usually need to pin the bottom of my shirt under my chin to allow for visual access to the belt loops.  Doing this alone in my house is fine, but in the security line it's not such a pretty sight.  So while I was at the airport recently, wearing my plaid bermuda shorts, I went to buy a magazine for the flight.  I was disturbed to find out that I couldn't find a magazine that interested me.  I opted for Rolling Stone.  It seems like I should have some sort of hobby or interest that's reflected in the magazine world.  It got me thinking about my interests in life.  I've discovered recently that I like trees.  Didn't see any magazines about trees.  I also like clay, which is represented in the magazine world but not offered at the airport.  I like building shitty structures in my backyard.  I guess that's represented by Dwell, but not at the airport.  The magazine rack made me feel like I should be interested in biking, my health, music, trucks, celebrities, girl stuff, scinece, politics, and gardening.  So I'm going to try and find a hobby that doesn't include clay, building shit, or boring people with tree facts.  I think I'll start by taking a bike ride tonight.  But first I have to go to Lowes and get some plumbing material for my kitchen.
