My Thoughts
Speaking as a fat guy . . . Abercrombie & Fitch is within their rights to cater their clothing to whomever they like. It is not illegal to be thin and fit, and it is not outside the bounds of reason to think that having a bunch of linebackers like myself wear their brand would decrease the # of fit people willing to wear the label. The same fat people who complain about this are the ones who'll avoid fat brands at all costs the second they lose the weight. Get over yourselves.
Can't shake this stomach bug and fever. Despite a good morning - one worthy of FB glorification - it all went downhill after noon. Cancelled plans with Tre and just called into work. I HATE HATE HATE calling into work; the very idea brings back memories of a hypochondriac childhood and that is NOT who I am as a man. But when a belly as big as mine is on the fritz, it ain't a pretty thing.
