    Clothing and other things trend about every 30 years. And it’s driven by nostalgia. As you approach your 40s you’ll start seeing things that were popular when you were 10 and it makes you want to buy it, even if it’s a dumb nik-nak.

    Resist nostalgia purchases, folks.

      I never stopped playing Mortal Kombat 1-3. It’s hard to get someone nostalgic for a time they never left haha.

      I do have the arcade machine now though. My wife spoils me.

      As for my clothes, I’ve smoked, drank, and done way too many drugs to actually look youthful. When old folks tell me that I look younger than I am, I tell them it’s because I’m wearing the same clothes I bought 20 years ago and I look like a college age millennial because of that, and their sense of time is off.

      I just buy what’s comfy. And cheap. Most of all, I buy the first pair that fits. Who has time to worry about style, really?
