What is a blog? For OMC, it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us. It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Sept. 6, 2008 at 4:04 a.m.

After months of not spending a nickel on my wardrobe, I broke down and bought a few things for fall at Bayshore Town Center. My first stop was Forever 21, where I bought a pair of jeans, some cute undergarments and a few pair of big, crazy earrings.

When I got home, I started to unpack my goods, and noticed a Bible quote printed on the bottom of the Forever 21 bag. I found this peculiar, so I Googled it.

I discovered that the company, which started in California in 1984, is owned by a Korean-American couple which chose the verse -- John 3:16 -- to reflect its Christian faith.

I find it humorous and ironic that my thong underpants rubbed up against a bag embossed with a Bible quote. That's all I'm sayin'.
