[meme via zoomdoggle]
I am self-aware enough to know that my life is insignificant. Furthermore, my menial job is insignificant. I have no direct impact on society as a whole. My job is not important because I have no relevant skills that are beneficial to society. I am ‘just another brick in the wall. (without a functional college major).’ A few of the other employees who share my same job title are mentally challenged, and perform the job better than me.
The most exciting part of my day is when I put on my iPod and round up shopping carts from the lot. It gives me an opportunity to express myself, and challenge the norms of society. By transitioning my job from ‘just a job’ to ‘an opportunity to be a concept artist’, I can save face with my self-concept. I never saved up to go to art school after dropping out of community college. That does not mean I cannot be an artist. That does not mean that I cannot express myself.
I have a memory bank of meaningful connections with ‘real people.’ You can find out a lot about people by bagging their groceries and helping them to their cars. You must be willing to dig deep inside of yourself and let yourself be ‘you’, no matter the context.
You can be more than just you.
“Think outside the box.”
Think of ways to challenge mainstreamers’ concept of reality.
You are more than just an ‘oddly enough’ design meme.
The circle of shopping carts is a metaphor for _____________.
Do u ever do anything ‘a lil conceptual’ at ur job?

I sometimes like to believe that crls lives atop the worlds tallest high rise and sits in his aprtmnt [which has all glass walls, no one can spy on your from that high up] with his compact nicon with amazing zoom, and takes photos of all the amazing things going on in the world. all these photos are crls. beware.

@johnnytantan, odd how alt shirts are almost never more than $15.00 and sometimes less despite the fact that they are printed on AA T’s…. I have tons of AA shirts, none of which I have actually bought from AA….I can’t afford to actually shop there.
