Well, Ralph Waldo Emerson may have said it, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

I, however, have reservations about the wisdom of this adage vis-a-vis being real-somewhere Emerson forgot about reality-on the pick-up the Akimbo Hoodzi-trail of snack crumbs and coffee stains cause, really, that’s how one did things.

Day in the Akimbo Hoodie Spoiler: does it better than you thought it would be.

7:00 AM – The Wake Up Call

It screams alarm; you choose to ignore it. But the Akimbo Hoodie hanging off the chair already looks as if it is awake. “Don’t worry, champ-you don’t need to look good at this hour-just look human,” it kind of whispers. George Washington would have approved. He said, “It is better to be alone than in bad company.” That is 7 in the morning, and if there is one company that is not bad, that is the Akimbo Hoodie.

8:30 AM – The Commute

You’re on the subway. Depending on which half of the train you look at, it either resembles the extras from a zombie film or the other half overdressed as if they were auditioning for The Apprentice. There’s you: in your Akimbo hoodie, well cocooned up but radiating a quiet confidence that says; “Yeah, I know it’s Monday. What of it?”

Nobel-worthy protection from everyone’s eyes, by the way.

10:00 AM – The Meeting

Here it comes-the dreaded “all-hands.” Your boss clicks through slides that would bore even a caffeine-crazed squirrel. But what does your comfortable Akimbo Hoodie do? Just sit smugly under the blasting of air conditioning but still cozy. “Better remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.” From Abraham Lincoln. And that is how the Akimbo Hoodie goes about life. Powerful just by being.

1:00 PM – Lunchtime

You take a burrito bigger than your arm; half of it hits your lap. But here it’s magic: the Akimbo Hoodie forgives. A little short brush and it never happened, just like in your crisp white shirt. People are looking, not at your clumsiness, but at the hoodie. “Where’d you get that?” asks one. You feel like a celebrity now endorsing casualwear.

3:00 PM – The Midday Slump

Your brain checks out. Emails are translated into hieroglyphics. But your hoodie? Still thriving. It’s almost humming: “You could nap in me, you know.” “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” said Thomas Edison. Obviously, Edison never donned an Akimbo Hoodie; otherwise, he would know that genius could also be ninety-nine percent fleece.

6:00 PM – After Hours

Keep doing it late: you drop in at the bar with some buddies. It fits totally, then looks better in most of the “going-out shirts” trying to glitter in once again at days-of-glory college. This is the no-pretense cool of the Akimbo Hoodie. One friend jests, “Did you sleep in that thing?” You grin: “Not yet.”

11:30 PM – Netflix O’Clock

The last night out is just a couch-builder of you and your hoodie. This space is cozy-kinda wraps one in comfort, while pretending that just this time, only one episode would get watched. And before you know what’s happening, wake up halfway through, but the Akimbo Hoodie doesn’t judge; it just warms you.

Final Word

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Now, there’s a bit of bravery that comes packaged with it. It will come through spilled burritos, boring conferences, and Netflix marathons. It would have no regard toward titles, trends, or the false glamour of button-down shirts. Just whether you feel entirely human-then it will be, stylishly, sarcastically, and comfily so.

Truth is, I do live a day, for indeed the pocket Akimbo Hoodie lives this day with you and always somehow gets the win. ~ The Akimbo Hoodie – because life is too short for any wear that cannot get the joke.
