I found the crack of the Internet and it is myspace.com. That shit is addictive. This past week I've been linking up with as many rappers as I could find on the site. I will eventually have to get off of it. And take some responsibility for the things I'd need to do. Tomorrow I'm heading to the school district and asked them to put me on the active list again. I've also field for unemployment and I will get a letter next week. If I will be able to get anything remains to be seen but let's pray that I do. In the mean time I got an Interview next week nearby. The Interview I got this week went well. I just hope something comes out of it.
Out of frustration, I decided to take a trip to Naperville. I stepped in comp USA, and I started to buy an itunes prepay card. After spending a good 40 minutes in the store and being bothered by the three workers who I suspected were watching me, I put the card back. As I went for the exit 1 of the workers stopped me. He asked me where I put the card. I felt I should have been offended, I mean at the time I was the only black male in the store. Why were they treating different than the other customers? Realizing where I was I decided to keep cool and I tell them. As a matter of fact I was ready to empty my pockets right in front of him to prove I didn't steal shit. The nerve of dude. Living in one of the most segregated cities in America, I should be used in this. But deep inside I still feel hurt when crap like that happens. Maybe it was just imagining and took things the wrong way.

Seee...that irks me to no end, I am light, bright and almost white, and they still do that to me.
I absolutely hate having to go into stores like that. I hate the way they look at us sometimes, like what nerve we have coming in their stores....
yeeeesh...

Man. You let em off easy. I understand why you did though. Next time you're in town, I'd go in and walk around again...maybe play a little follow the leader...then ask them to carry things for you, and don't buy any of it...but before you leave, tell them why you're messin with them. Nah..don't hold onto it like that, but it's fun to think about for the moment. If you internalize it too much it will eat you up.
