Yesterday I had a great day. I did a bit of casual househunting in the sun, cruised around the old neighbourhood, had lunch with a friend and stocked up on things I can only get at Choice's market and Galloway's. While at Choice's, I saw a guy I went to high school with. He looked exactly the same. In high school he looked like Tom Delong of blink182, and had the same late 90's skater style. In high school this style and his resemblance to a rock star made him "hot". He was still sporting the same style right down to his skater shoes. I was lost in thought wondering why people get stuck in an era, and wondering if I'm stuck in an era without realizing it. I was also thinking of all the bands I loved in the late 90's. Smashing Pumpkins, blink, No Doubt, Nirvana, System of a Down, STP, Soundgarden, Radiohead. If I didn't know him, I would have thought he was maybe 20 years old. Still cute, although stuck in the time warp, he probably still listened to 90's music on a walkman. He was in front of me in the checkout, chatting with the cashier. They were talking about the Save On Foods at Metrotown that closed. His response was how sad it is that all the grocery stores for white people are closing.
What?...did he really just say that? Clearly he is also mentally stuck in the segregation of the 1950's. So not hot.
