“After all the champagne, the party-poppers and the endless Facebook updates comprised of utter gibberish, all that remains are T-shirts.” ~ Andi Best, 2013
Today - January 1st 2013 - marks the first day of my long-awaited THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt wearing challenge.
Awesome.
In the photo above taken the following morning after 2012 disintegrated beneath a cacophony of fireworks, I am wearing my first T-shirt of the challenge titled Idea.
It’s one of my own designs resulting from the time I pondered how I am having my own ideas.
I mean, all the information that makes up an idea I have, I already possess. It’s all already in my head. So what makes the perfect collection of thoughts suddenly leap to the foreground when I need to come up with something, especially when it happens spontaneously with seemingly no conscious thought at all? How can I take credit for an idea I’ve “had”, when in all honesty, I cannot claim to know how I “had” it?
I appreciate that thinking about thinking is a little heavy going for a New Year’s Day hangover, so I’ll summarise by suggesting that maybe an idea always exists, but it takes the right person to lay claim to it.
Any way, I’ve had this idea about wearing loads of T-shirts…
Happy New Year everyone.
