DONE. 138.
I missed the bus on the last day of school. That’s pretty funny actually.
So I ended up going in for like fifteen minutes around noon to pick up the rest of the books in my locker and say bye to some people, with my pink shirt of course. And then I went into work and worked til almost midnight. So, it was of course a fun way to end the challenge.
It’s wierd to be done now. I can...
DAY 137. ONLY ONE DAY LEFT, HOLY CRAP.
It feels absolutely wonderful to have no homework or studying to do. Yet, it hasn’t sunk in that I dont have to go to school on Monday.
I’m pretty sad. I won’t miss the studying and bad grades, but school itself seems to be going by so much quicker than expected.
But tomorrow is the last day. It’s kind of a weird feeling.
But on a positive note, im less than 24 hours...
DAY 136. T-MINUS 2 DAYS.
Today I did have some people give me props for (almost) completing this challenge.
I’m proud. But there’s only two days left, woah!
Oh well. But today I had school and work. And guess what I have tomorrow and friday? Yep, school and work! But I need the money to make up for all these instruments i’ve been buying!
There’s not quite a lot too much more to say. Just hang in...
DAY 135. T-MINUS 3 DAYS.
I only have three more days of pink shirts.
I’m sad.
But I came up with a new idea. I created this snazzy shirt here, and I’m gonna buy twenty of them and wear them every day next year. http://www.ooshirts.com/d/68668666
Today, I played dodgeball for two hours. And sat in school doing nothing, because there’s nothing to do. But I still go. I dislike the kids who leave early....
124-134
My pink shirt challenge seems to be winding to an end.
I have four days left of school.
Thus, I have four days left of pink shirts. So therefore, I promise to blog everynight for the rest of this challenge.
So wanna know what’s been up in the last ten days?
Well, I bought a Fender Telecaster and a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass and an Acoustic B200 Combo amp, and some straps and...
108-123
Well this is officially to the point where its safe to say that I suck at blogging.
But putting my lack of blogging skills to the side, I still wear the same shirt everyday. So I give myself props for that.. Just not so much the blogging.
But lets see here, its been a good last two and half weeks. So where were we last? I believe I was in Washington DC last time we talked, right? Right.
So...

Days 101-107
So, I’ve obviously been blogging recently. (not.) Sorry! But guess what!
I’m in Washington DC! Awh yes. Full of fun and pink shirts. And let me tell you, these things are like the secret ingredient I’ve never had. About 3 groups of some fine young ladies have asked me to have pictures with them, And I’m just like “Hey, why not!” These shirts are some lady...
Day 100!
THREE DIGITS. Awh yes, 100 days is a complete success. I didn’t do anything special, but its still a monumental day. As for the rest of my week, I don’t have much planned. But the following week, is this: http://www.facebook.com/events/419034571449650/?notif_t=plan_user_joined that’s right. Poetry slam. Game on. Have a good night everybody!
Days 96-99
So I had an epic fail of blogging over the weekend, but all is well. Friday, I saw the three stooges. And if you enjoy stupid humor, then that’s your movie. But if not, don’t bother. Saturday, was Cinco De Mayo. I had work, and that’s about it. Sunday, I also worked. Yesterday, I had school. Then today…(Read onto next post)
Days 94 & 95
So yesterday, I had school and work. Not much of an excitement, but it passes time, right? Today I had school, and my house. As in I really didn’t do much. Though I am 5 days away from Day 100 which is pretty freaking exciting.
And if you want to know what else is exciting, check this out: http://soundcloud.com/johnbutlertriomusic/revolutiontinshedtales All vocal tracks, and purely awesome....
Days 92 & 93
“It’s been 93 days already?! Damn!” Yeah, that’s what I thought too.
7 days away from wearing the same shirt for 100 days = success. Beat that, homie. Yesterday I was sportin’ the cut-off with a white tee under it. It’s nice to spit out a new look. It’s hard to be so hip everyday when you’re already more hipster than it gets. So sometimes it’s...

89. 90. & 91!
DAYS 89-91. So I owe you Friday-Sunday, heh?
Friday I had a gig, and then some fun at an open mic. You can see my friend and I’s performance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Doqjkcaf-z8 Saturday, I had work. And that’s about it. And today, Sunday, I also had another open mic. I whipped out some Taylor Swift on the guitar and performed a poem. So I’d say I had a stellar...
Day 87 & Day 88
Hello people of tumblr! How’s life treatin’ ya? I’ve been on like a two day blogging drift, but you don’t mind, do you? Ah, thanks. So yesterday, DAY 87 I had a track meet. I know I said I’d break five in the mile. But guess what the winning time of the race was? It was only a 5:02. I came in right after with a 5:10. So, my point here is that the number one...
Day 85 & 86
DAY 85: Well.
I can’t remember what I did yesterday. Obviously nothing life changing or super important. Hmm, school, track practice, home. And yeah, that’s about it.
DAY 86: It’s not huge, but still.
Every single day at track, my coach says, “Oh woah. Nice shirt Kyle. Haven’t seen that one before. Is it new?”
I get comments like that all the time. And...
Day 84
DAY 84: I need a car.
I took a lovely trip to guitarcenter, had a huge burrito at moe’s, and came home and car-shopped on the internet. Beautiful day, huh?
How was yours? Fantastic, I hope. I get my license in under two months. I need a car. Good on gas, enough room for music equipment, cheap, and stylin’.
Maybe not the stylin’ part. But good on gas, and good amount of...
Days 82 & 83
DAY 82: sporting’ my shirt
I had a track invitational at ESU. I only ran the mile.
I ran a 5:13, which isn’t too bad, but I’m still not proud.
I was about 19th place out of I think 27. With a 5 13.
If that just gives you a brief idea of how fast that race was, then thank you. The winning time was a 4:21. Absolutely ridiculous.
But nonetheless, It was a fun day. I...
Day 81
DAY 81: It’s what I do.
School and track meet. Pretty good day, I say!
I had a few people ask me If I work at dunkin. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.
Poetry is about taking over my life, and I like it. The crowds that I would seem embarrassed to perform in front of now seem to be the ones impressed with me.
I need more poems though. I only have like three set to heart...
Day 80
DAY 80: Learning.
80 days completed!
Yes.
School. Work. Fun day.
But actually it was. This morning in school I went to a poetry workshop. That actually happened to be pretty fun.
I enjoy learning about new things, especially things I like.
You can only learn so much.
So learn the most you can. Life is short, don’t waste it by only doing what you’re used to.
Take a risk,...

Same Tees for a Week!
A couple of weeks ago, one of my friends suggested me to wear the same P&G Credit Union t-shirt. Now, it’s not really the same; it’s basically the same design but different color. I was going to start this a couple weeks back, but Easter break was coming right around the corner, and I...
Day 79
Day 79: It’s like walking on a blue cloud in a white sky if the rain could fall out of the sun.
Inspiration, and that’s sometimes all you need.
Anything you do, you’ve gotta have a foundation. Be an inspirer, be the creator. Plant the seed, feed the tree, and let it grow.
Today, wasn’t much more of an ordinary day than just any other ordinary day. Almost 80 days of...
Day 78
DAY 78: Doesn’t make sense.
School sucks. Today I got a detention for walking on the grass. Yes, walking on grass. During gym class, we were walking the track. I was walking right along side the track on the grass, along with many fellow students. And I get in trouble. Only me. Sent down the office, and now I have to pay time this saturday morning. You know, whatever. At least its a...
Day 77
As seen in the picture I just posted, I’m still obsessing about my gig filled weekend. 2 gigs in a row. I love it. I feel so legit.
And as seen, I also gave the rest of my band some of my t-shirts. We had to, its the band uniform. Ya know? Its’ okay, I still have a few.
Well, lets do the math here. I bought 26. Gave 3 to the rest of my band. 3 are size Large, so I don’t wear...

Day 75 & 76
DAY 75 & 76: Giggin’ the weekend away
Ah, that’s right. A music-filled weekend. Just a benefit show on Friday night, then a party last night.
I love music. Music is what I do. Music is what I want to do with my life. My band gets better every time we play. And that’s dedication. We put time into what we do because it’s what we love to do.
Which is why, all I have...
Day 74
DAY 74: “We’re so unprepared. But that’s rock n’ roll baby.”
Ah, yes. So I have a gig tomorrow. I barely know any of the music. But my band came up with that above quote. And I love it. So If you’re going to that show tomorrow, try to see how unprepared we look. I must say, we pull it off though. We’re pretty damn good at improvising. We’re good...
Day 73
DAY 73: seventy three days
Ah, so we’ve reached day 73 on this fine pink shirt challenge.
I have never been so tired in my life. Well that’s probably a lie.
But I am so tired right now.
There’s too much going on. I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day.
Oh, I would get so much done.
But nope. Not in this 24 hour day. I must go sleep it off now.
By the way, did you...
Week 9! (Days 64-72)
OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED.
No, I didn’t die. But thanks for caring. So I guess I should explain now..
DAY 64. Gym Class, not so fun.
Well, it all started in gym class. Yes, that’s right. Good ol’ gym class. Day 64, just like any other day, strolling around school wearing my pink shirt. Then period D gym class, oh, that’s when it all happened. I got nailed in the head...

Caught In the Act of Seventeen
Let’s take a walk, a journey through my mind, Just another daydream that lost track of time, My thoughts went places that reality couldn’t find, Like a lion and a tiger fighting in a battle of rhymes.
Oh, that’s what’d go down in my little head, But only in algebra class, or should I say ‘the walking of the dead.’ You see, that’s the kind of path that my daydreams led Because when it came to...

DAY 63: The vibe of a live performance.
I got to perform my revised version of my ‘caught in the act of seventeen’ poem tonight, and I must say that was pretty awesome. Definitely the highlight of my day. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I was very happy with the outcome. I also got to play a little uke in “I’m yours” with my friend. So overall,...

Day 62
DAY 63: Ah, not everyday needs a title.
Well, not too much happened with my shirts today. You know, I just wore one. The usual. But I didn’t really go anywhere. I feel so unacomplished when I stay home on a Saturday.
I just babysat. Yay. But I don’t mind babysitting, I love kids. And it was only my siblings. I have two brothers, 7 and 1, and a 5 year old sister. So I have a few...

Insects are friends.
My friends are all insects, yeah, they are bugs. And they try not to confess that they’re undercover thugs. They try to disguise themselves, refuse to deny the lies of their own reprise, Because everybody’s sleepin’, And the critters are creepin’, But there’s no weepin’, When your friends are all bugs.

Day 60 & 61
DAY 60: It’s really exciting to wear the same shirt everyday. That’s not sarcasm, either.
Yeah, yeah. I missed a day. But what, this is the second, maybe third time in 60 days that I hadn’t blogged for one night?
Look, I was busy writin’ a modern english version of Julius Caesar for english class. So ah well, here I am now.
But last night, I saw 21 Jump Street. Damn!...

I looked up when my balloon came down.
I dropped my balloon, and it floated up, I couldn’t even watch it, it went so high, But I saw it get stuck on a cloud, so it never said bye. Until one day it rained, and I saw some other guy, He had my ballon, I had to wonder why. That’s mine, he stole it. What a horrible goodbye.

Day 59
DAY 59: Such great stories to tell.
School, work. Ah, so fun. It takes up 14 hours of the day, and I sleep the other 8.. (I wish.) So little time in a day, so much to do. Oh well.
I’ve been rockin’ the old fashioned tube socks with the khaki shorts lately. Feels nice.
Today in school I got written up because I sat on a heater. Then the assistant principle just told me that he had...

The Poem Machine
Result of having nothing to write about:
the blank screen is like a terrible dream, with the fact that I don’t know what to write about. and as terrible as it seems I’m cheap, so I’ll write about things.
Things, all sorts of things
I could write about dreams, write about teens I could talk about my jeans, or maybe green beans but not by any means, would I talk about a machine...

DAY 58: Talking about talking with nothing to talk about
Well today was pretty boring. But I did have a track meet! That was fun. It went well, definitely not too bad for the first meet. No personal best times, but it’s definitely going to be a good season!
Not too much comment on the shirt today. Although they made me take it off for our team picture in track. I was a little upset...

Caught in the act of seventeen
I’m happy to say that this poem, inspired by falling asleep in 7th grade pre algebra, taught me to never yell a random number when woken up in class.
Caught in the act of seventeen.
Let’s take a journey, a walk, through the daydreams of my mind, blocked by numbers and times, due to the classy little thing you may call math class.
Oh no you didn’t, I’d say. I’m...

DAY 57: Break your goals.
No, I do not work at dunkin’ donuts. Did I clarify that? Okay, we’re good.
But anyways, I got a hole in my shirt today! Yeah! So, I guess I only have 25 now.. I’m still not quite sure how this happened. But in art class, a few kids were like, “Hey, you have a hole in your shirt.”dangt.
I do think that my dog my have bit my shirt as I...

Lost in time
Moving too fast, it’s not gonna last, Just one moment, and it will fall in the right time.
Two in two work together, and I’m not sure on how to get better,
Too much stress, no time, and busy forever, But it’s gonna work Though I’m not too sure how, But If not now, we’ll make it work.
Time can wait, but this moment can’t Let’s skip the break, cause the clock is out and for god’s sake, make...

DAY 56: Not much to say.
I like glasses and all, they help me see of course, but the biggest con I can think of is how you then can’t wear sunglasses. BUT, hopefully I can get a prescription sunglasses. And I even think these snazzy white Ray Ban’s.
I also got a new pair of track spikes today. My first meet is on Tuesday, I’m very excited. I’m hopefully going to break...

55 days of wearing the same shirt! Awh yes! And I know you’re probably like, “Well thank you caption obvious, I thought this was the 55th day you ate waffles.”
Well, I’m aware. But what if someone just stumbled upon this post. They have no idea I wore the same shirt for 55 days in a row. So yes, those of you unaware, I have been...

The Dryer
The shaking
The waking from your sleep
The one way train that doesn’t go east
Love is static friction
And I’m its recent victim
The city wakes, and my body sleeps
Once its up
Never is not
Then it stops
It tumbles down
My thoughts are gone
And love
Still not found

DAY 54: How old are you?
So how ya’ll doin’? Good friday to start of the weekend, heh?
So, I went to school, did hill repeats at track, was supposed to have band practice but didn’t, went home, hung out with my cousins for a while, played fifa, and hello, how are you?
Not too much of an eventful day, but good enough for me. I’m going roller skating tomorrow. I suck at...

DAY 53: We’re all the same.
So today I thought of a brilliant idea that’s too late to happen. I should’ve wrote in a small spot on each shirt what day I wore it. So say I grabbed a shirt to wear tomorrow, I could look at it and be like, “Oh yeah, I wore this on Day 2, 17, 36, and 49.” My friends and I thought that was a brilliant idea. But 53 days into it is...

Gullible
I wasn’t feeling too symbolic and deep thinking,
So I went more with a dr seuss/shel silverstein type of poem, despite the child audience level of it. I still love those types of poems.

The grass is blue
It’s not a dream
I know it’s true
The colors are flip flopped
And the time tick tocked
Because its two in the afternoon, and it’s dark...

DAY 52: Who needs to plan?
So the best part of my day was learning this on my ukulele.
Yes, literally.
And no, I can’t play it as good as him. But for picking it up in like five minutes, I’m pretty satisfied.
So other than that, Day 52, hmm, not an eventful day. School, work, same shirt. Nothing new here really. But is also Day 2 of poem-a-day. I’m actually pretty excited...
