Oh, the Irony (Don't Ya Think?)
So many layers. The whole abuse of irony for hipster cred. The "I heart." The fact that "I heart" drives me up the wall - ok, well, I don't care that much. But my irritation does amuse my friends who use the expression more wholeheartedly (ba dum bum!). I should probably have one, except who would implicitly understand all of these things if I wore the shirt?

the act of advertising ones' ironic credentials is at odds with being a practicing nihilist. sure, it's writ large: it's ironic irony. but why bother? who wants to be the over-achieving hipster?
to me, it's actually less work, easier, to just find some conviction that feels right and stick with it. courage, through slack.

Hmm, that shirt... it's like rain, on your wedding day.
