The Organic Nazi
I’ve mentioned before that I worked at Meijer in Mount Pleasant. I work in the produce section there, and one thing I’ve learned is that their are regulars that come to Meijer on a weekly to daily basis, just like a diner or bar has it daily regulars. We have nicknames for a lot of them, I won’t go into to much detail, they can be somewhat of a burden/annoyance. One in particular is a young german lady who has a very thick accent, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who we call the Organic Nazi. She earned that name by coming in almost every other day complaining and bitching to whoever is working the floor about how bad are organic food, or how come we never have a certain organic food ever. All I can say to her is “I’m sorry Ms. but i don’t order the food i just bring out here.” One day a coworker of mine asked her why does she only care about our organic food food selection. She responded that as a child she was extremely poor and had to eat terrible food or no food at all. She was smart though and worked hard at school and earned all sorts of scholarships and eventually got herself on a full ride to some college in England, where she earned a business degree and is now a consultant and makes very good money. And one thing she likes to treat herself to is healthy and delicious organic food because she never had the experience as a child. Once I heard that story i instantly gave her mad props, but and I am still annoyed by the fact that she thinks that I have something to do with the ordering of the organic food. In conclusion my hat goes off to the Organic Nazi but can you just bitch at management instead of the lowly produce clerk that has nothing to do with the ordering of the food.
Wudc Clothing Line
I never really knew what i wanted to do when i grew up until i was halfway through college, and I think that’s why it’s has been somewhat of challenge to me to complete. It was about this time last year my friend and I were talking about how much we hate working for other people. We both have similar interests, one including streetwear fashion. Streetwear has been around forever but didn’t really come into the national spotlight until 2000’s roughly. We both came to the conclusion that we should start a clothing line together. I went home that night and just started designing clothes all night, and that’s when i realized this is what i want to do. What really made me realize that i wanted to do this, is that it never ever felt like work when i was designing shirts, it was fun coming up with ideas and bringing them to life. Now a year has past since my friend and I talked about this. He’s moved onto other things, but I have continued to pursue this dream on my own. Hopefully my hobby will become job.
Who I am
I’ve come to this point in my life inspired by many people, places, and things. Not one person i feel has a significant part in who i am. Most people would say their parents or someone close to them lit the fire under their ass to motivate themselves. But if there was one thing that has always inspired me, it is fear. I feel as though fear is a powerful weapon if used right. I always feared of being broke and homeless. I’ve always feared working a dead end job that i have to do the rest of my life. I fear that all my friends will stop talking to me if i never get my shit together and graduate. Fear of living under my parents roof until i am thirty like some of my relatives is what wakes me up and motivates me to go to class and study. Fear of having to enlist in the military and shooting at someone for some war or belief i do not believe in is what keeps my nose to the grindstone. Fear of asking my parents for money is what keeps me working at shitty-ass meijer where I’m not proud of what i do but at least it’s supporting me at the moment. Fear is what motivated me to be where i am today, and hopefully keeps me going to where ever the hell I am heading next.

Listening
I would first like to say that I am not a good listener. I will admit that. I have a very short attention span and if you don’t catch my attention immediately there is a good chance i stopped hearing what you were talking about a long time ago. However there is one thing i don’t mind listening to and that is new music. I’m a big enthusiast of new music i haven’t heard yet, but i have noticed that a lot of my friends and peers at a certain age in their life stop having a desire to listen to new music. I feel that certain age is in your early to mid twenties. A lot of my friends, including me, listen to hip hop, which is a genre always producing new artist yearly. I Have a few friends that are in the 22-24 range who have just stopped and refused to listen to any new hip hop artist. One friend says its garbage, my other colleague says he doesn’t time. I understand my first friend somewhat, today’s hip hop is different sounding then a few years ago, a lot of new artist are considered fake in the industry. I feel like you just have to search deeper underground and you can hear good music a lot more. The rap and hip hop music that is on the radio is trash, i recommend you don’t to listen to it. My other friend I somewhat understand because he’s in dental school and that consumes a majority of his life, but i have other friends to who have said the same thing. That they don’t have time, and that just reminds me that we are getting older and gaining more responsibilities and have to sacrifice certain things to do what you love to , and hopefully mine is not having to stop listening to new music
