It makes me sad
That all humans in the developed world
must go to the grocery store / an ‘everything store’
in order to stay alive
Wish things were more natural
and we had to hunt and gather
instead of ‘gathering money’ [via job]
and then ‘bargain hunting’ [via coupons/manufacturer's discount]
and stuff like that which makes u realize
just how ‘middle-class’ ur parents are
I go out to Target / Wal Mart
Trader Joe’s / Whole Foods /
Local low-end grocery store
and I buy ‘groceries’
Makes me feel less unique
because I see every one there
rich or poor
But the poor usually buy stuff that’s ‘bad 4 u’
and I am fortunate enough to buy
stuff that’s ‘better 4 u’
Feel like a ‘fish out of water’
when running the errands that are necessary 2 staying alive
because I have built my personal brand around
’seeming like I have nothing 2 do with ppl
who have 2 perform trivial tasks 2 stay alive’
I want to be some1 who seems ‘young’
and ‘out of touch’ with ‘real life’ and ‘real errands.’
and the modern ’struggle’ 2 stay alive and build a ‘happy family’
h8 ’shopping’ for stuff that ‘isn’t cool’
would rather go 2 the mall / online shopping
prefer 2 buy stuff that u have 2 buy with a credit card
instead of stuff that ‘fits in2 ur budget.’

Grocery shopping is totally alt… what the fuck, Carles.
I love going with my mom. She pushes around the cart while I listen to my iPod and think about how meaningful my experience is (via frozen foods).

keep it simple in my nikes and designer handbag. drive my environmentally-aware hybrid there. like to go to target. it shows i’m ‘of the people’ but still more ‘high-end’ cuz designers like alexander mcqueen becoming also ‘budget conscious’. usually use my credit card there newayz for eco-friendly cleaning products. still wearin’ sunglasses inside tho.
