Bye Bye Buying Blue Jeans

So I hopped skipped and jumped to my local mall in the very recent past with a very simple purpose in mind. Even among all the troubles of life and the thoughts that race through my head in any given instant on a regular day, at this point I only had one thought.

"I want a new pair of blue jeans."

Now I reckoned to myself, quite foolishly I might add, that such a quest would be relatively easy and short lived. How wrong I was in my naivety and innocence. As it would turn out, stores refuse to sell standard blue jeans. I went to Old Navy first, thinking they would have standard items. Sadly, they only sell faded/torn/boot cut jeans. There wasn't even anything that was a regular blue. I then went to Tilly's, but only because of my brother's request. I was unsurprised there to find nothing remotely close to what I wanted. Again I was faced with ridiculous non-blue colors and jeans so baggy they might of well have been parachute pants.

My savior was a store I rarely venture into: Sears. Not only did I find exactly what I wanted, but they were only 20 bucks. Talk about a deal. No one wants normal pants anymore, so they are cheap as all Hell. I feel like Michael from the Office in these. Or maybe a gunslinger.

Moral of the story: traditional blue jeans are badass.

You have your jeans dry cleaned?

Finding good blue jeans is ridiculous. Which is a shame, really.
