Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

adidas shoes (i have other brands, but this is the main one)
usually only a small group of fashion companies (local ones)
i prefer coke


anything google....

i used to like anything symantec, but i hate them so much since their software has become super bloated and targetted at stupid people.


i tend to go to familiar stores and 7-11's if they have nice clerks or low prices.


edit: and my default beer (when there is nothing dark or i'm on a budget) is red label tuborg.

Just tried Diet Coke with Splenda. It tastes like Diet Coke. I'm rather disappointed. I was hoping it would taste like Classic Coke. But it's ¢79 instead of $1.09 for a cold one, so I'll keep drinking the for now. It also has a slight lime taste.

There are other things I'm loyal to that aren't necessarily brands, but just preferences:

I always buy 2-ply toilet paper, for instance. Always.
Canned beer is for cooking only. Doesn't matter what brand, really, but it's for cooking.

I don't really believe in brands, mostly, but I do believe in product lines. For example, I know that if you need a cheapo 2nd hand car, you simply can't go wrong with Subaru DL of the late 1980s.

Diet Coke with Splenda doesn't have that regular Diet Coke aftertaste, so that's a plus.

some of us are loyal to our brands because they are superior products in every way. How is that so wrong?

I noticed a lot of clothing brand name loyalities, I don't have any of that- except for the shoes I mentioned. I have those loyalties because of how long they last. I used to buy cheapos, and they only last like a year. I admit I do buy Red Wings because they are made in the USA. That isn't a real good reason to buy a product. But they do seem to last a long time. They are good boots.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I guess that shows that I still am a cheap person. I buy products that last a long time. I have no problem wearing a pair of ratty Nikes around town. And they do last a long time.

maybe if I was concerned more with fashion, I could get a girlfriend?

I prefer not to, people already think I'm gay. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just I have a hard enough time attracting female attention as it is.

In any case, good fashion eludes me.
