Something happened to me over the past couple of years, where if I go shopping for clothes, I want to buy the color blue. I especially like the color navy, but wouldn’t pass up the blue of an oxford style button down shirt. The bluer the blue jeans, the better, and I’m even thinking about getting a blue suit for a wedding I’m supposed to attend. I’m even starting to like the look of khaki pants, and a blue shirt, but swear to God, if I add a puffer vest to that look, you should walk up to me and slap the hell outta my face… unless I’m working undercover as a “Finance Bro.”

I’m not sure why this is happening, but I know that it is.

I thought that it could be a reflection of my mental state, but I feel neither depressed, nor calm and relaxed.

I started putting on my old army coat when I have a blue shirt on. I would like to believe that I look like Quint, but I know that’s not true.

Is this a middle age thing? Does blue help me stand out, or blend in?

And if the blue is in a plaid pattern, good lord, I have to own it.

I have blue pajamas. A navy blue ballcap. My car is blue, but the wife did pick it out, but still…

There was a time when I wore a lot of black, but that was my pretentious artists phase, which coincided with my stage crew phase.

Maybe I’ll grow out of it. Maybe I move into a paisley phase.
