I have a buddy who for quite some time has been posting what he calls "Overheard in L.A." for his friends on facebook. After taking a hiatus I encouraged him to bring it back. Here's his latest.
woman 1: what's the movie? who's in it?
woman 2: don cheadle. it's don cheadle and he plays this black FBI agent...
...me: as opposed to him playing an asian FBI agent???
:: awkward silence ::
While my friend's posts are often humorous this one is quite frustrating. I think Woman #2 is speaking from a place of privilege.
The friend I speak of is my high school pal Burl Moseley.
I believe story telling is an art form and blogging is a medium in which to share stories and ideas. Within this blog I hope to cover a spectrum of topics. From the serious to the silly. Here you will read my views and inquiries about subjects such as feminism, other various socio-political issues, psychology, spirituality, sexuality, and general interests such as film, art and music. You will also be exposed to my obsession with cupcakes, tea, books, Hello Kitty, and quirky day to day journeys. I enjoy learning from others as I am constantly attempting to introspect, grow and evolve. During this process I will be jotting down musings on this blog. Pull up a comfy chair and a spot of tea and join me!
