The Power

“I think you are putting too much faith behind the power of a new shirt“

I quote from the West Wing. The first time I heard that I could actually relate. I’m all about the power of a new shirt, but not just any shirt.

It has to be red.

I have about 3 red shirts actually. Everyone gets concerned or excited when I wear them because strange things usually happen. I become super creative. My thought processes become a bit more random, allowing me to come up with ideas nobody else even thought about. I get a little hyper.

It has actually been requested that on certain days for a certain meeting or function that I wear the red shirt. Or something comes up that “you’re gonna need the red shirt for that one db” gets thrown around.

I’m all about the red shirt.

But lately, the red shirts have been failing me. Not giving me the same power that they used to and I don’t know why. Maybe they are due for replacement? Perhaps I am really putting to much faith behind the power of the red shirt? Maybe I just need a vacation? Who knows.

I just want the power back.
