fuuuck no $250 jeans? fashoin statement?

The joy of getting old is that I no longer (had I ever?) been compelled to spend an assload of money on clothes.

(p) take pride in never shaving while spending $200 on a bedhead haircut and $600 on a messenger bag

WTF? are these just dirty lies to cover their drug habits? or yanking the press? does that $200 haircut come with release

reminds me... the other day I was talking with some cow-orkers, former teammates, about my move to the new San Francisco office. They said something about spending that extra money and time buying fashionable clothes so I could fit in there. And it all fit together--they bought the lie.

key difference: "wear a different pair of $250 designer jeans every day" vs "wear the same pair of $50 (labels cut off) work pants every day" ?
