T-Shirt Love

I've come to realize that I'm a big fan of T-shirts. I never really thought of how many I actually have, but from looking in my dresser and closet, I've realized I have quite a few. After browsing through my many photos albums, I found a recurring theme in the T-shirts that I wear. A lot of my favorite photos are ones in which I am wearing a T-shirt referring to a geographic location I have visited or its emblem or logo. The irony of the situation is that I'm never really wearing a T-shirt depicting the exact location I'm in at that moment. Maybe it's that I don't want to look like a tourist. Maybe there is a longing inside me to return to the location depicted on my shirt and the shirt reminds me of the good times I spent there. Maybe it's a little of both or even something else. Anyways, feel free to browse through my photos and see for yourself!

That's a lot of T's.
Funny how I am finding out that I really don't have that much stuff to wear. I'm starting to pack for Aussie today, and I came to a realization that I could pack my entire wardrobe easily into my bag if I don't stuff it full of electronics..
Man..that's a lot of traveling, and a lot of shirts.
