3 good things
Bought groceries today
Listened a little bit to Chris Do today and Darren Hardy
Figured out that I could make movie posters of skate videos as design practice since they come out every week
It was weird. At Whole Foods today, I was going to the escalator to get to the line. There was a congregation of people gathered in the area trying to figure out how to form a line. I was more in the front. When I realized I wasn’t going to be able to get in line based on where I was in the front, I headed towards the back. I wasn’t sure where the back was, but at the same time, I saw many people just cutting/ going into the line. All of a sudden, I hear a “Yo, I’m in line.” I’m taken aback, I say sorry. See it’s a white woman, and say, Sorry, my bad sheesh. As if offended. Something about this encounter just rubbed me the wrong way. I think it was her tone of voice, but also because there were so many other people who cut in front. Why didn’t she yell at them? It’s wild how all the trajectories in my head go to racism, how white women are the biggest benefactors from affirmative action, how I could’ve said I have the time, how I almost wanted to get into a fight with her. Imagine getting in a fight at whole foods. Not my scene where white gentrifiers are. See dam, all my good come backs are whenever I’m at home. I wish I was a bit more snappy.
Anywho, I’m creating again. Even if it’s just one thing at a time.
