A Little Something I Call Nostalgia

Short entry again! Aww snap!

Today…yes today, I finally did my laundry after two week accumulation of stinky clothes (That includes my dragon boating wear). I went to my local 24 hour laundromat about a block away from my little basement apartment and then a surge of nostalgia rushed into my head. It’s not that I’ve been there before, but it’s all those childhood memories of the laundromat that I used to go with my mom. The laundromat at 17th Avenue and 65th Street in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst or Dyker Heights, whatever). I had a shit load of memories there, from the smell of fresh clothes to dumping mad coins into the Street Fighter II Championship Edition machine that everyone crowded around in the back. It has been how long? 13 years? Since I been to a laundromat to clean my clothes first time by myself (Yes, I do clean my clothes at home…I’m not that lazy). Even though the laundromat gobbled up $4.50 from me just to clean my clothes and even lost a newly found quarter into the drying machine (That machine is an asshole), the childhood memories were just too overwhelming. Mmm… Yeah, silly me.

P.S.: I forgot what I was going to write for my P.S.. I must be losing my mind. (>__>)

Plowie, plow, plow, BOOOMUH!

P.P.S.: Prior post of the random poll, it was suppose to be an idea for the shirt design contest on Threadless. After several revampings of my idea, i finally ended up with this oogly design that I submitted just two minutes before the deadline last night.

Edit Squared: I mistakenly thought the deadline was that night, but in actuality it was the next day of CST midnight. At least that silly mistake gave me a one day leeway for any submission mistakes.

Here’s the oogly link.

P.P.P.S.: My submission to Love Threadless: Drawing shirt design contest was rejected.

“Your submission has been declined simply because we can’t figure out how it relates to the theme! This may be an oversight on our end, so please accept our apology if this is the case. You may resubmit using the comment box to explain how it relates to the theme, or simply resubmit as a regular, non-”Loves Threadless” submission.”

How does my design not relate to their theme? They weren’t really specifically asking for anything but doodles, drawings, sketches, basically any original drawing materials. How my design does not fit with their so called theme is mind boggling. I know I’m not going to win the judges, but hell at least take my fucking submission. Whatever, I’ll fix it up and send it to Woot. Threadless can suck a big bag of baby dicks.

And yep, Koala Munchies is my tribute to a favorite childhood snack of mine (Most likely yours too), Koala’s Marching. The choclatey goodness of koala bears. Mmm… :9

P.P.P.P.S.: So I wrote an email complaining on how Threadless rejected my idea. Apparently, I had to send a sketch along with my design (Which they did not indicate at all…) in order to be accepted.

“It helps to include your original sketch in the presentation so it’s obvious that your design started as a sketch and was not just a digital piece. You can resubmit if you’d like and I can add it to the loves challenge if you resubmit by 5PM CST today. Just make sure you indicate in some way how it’s related to the theme. Please let me know the title of the submission once you’ve sent it in.”

Fucking load of shit cakes. Now, I have to run back home and do my sketch because I winged my idea after drawing the first koala bear. Douchebags, seriously.
