Yellow Shirts

"I wake up in the morning
Put on my yellow shirt
I get a bite to eat
I go to work"
-The Moldy Peaches "Jorge Regula"

I bought this yellow shirt about four years ago, back when I was still in High School. While all the kids were slobbering over Abercrombie and Fitch logo tees, I was perusing the solid t-shirt aisles at TJ Maxx. I never thought of how much this shirt would brighten up my day when I first bought it, but after a few wears I could feel that whenever I put my yellow shirt on I was destined for a good day.

Today I woke up in a bad mood. I did not sleep well and since we sprung forward it was still fairly dark outside . When I got out of the shower I put on a baggy t-shirt and a zip-up sweatshirt and headed out into the world. After my first class, I returned back to my apartment for a quicky nap. When I woke up this time, I found the sunlight shining in on my bedroom and a warmish breeze was trickling through my window. I could not put on my sloppy attire from earlier in the morning, I had to wear something that reflected how I felt about the sunshiney day. I immediately found my trusty yellow t-shirt and headed off to class.
