this was taken in 2005 back when i used to work at movie gallery which was a video rental store
i wasn't in my mandatory red shirt at the time because i wasn't working that day.. i just came to work specifically to see the star wars characters and hang out and take pictures there was a working r2d2 a princess leia, numerous storm troopers, even a 7ft chebacca the chewbacca was one of the employees at the store.. he was one of those people who tried to get away with condescending remarks but i wasn't having it one day he said something and i just looked him in the eye and was like "don't talk to me like that" and i didn't smile or anything and he gave me the whole "i was just joking" thing i don't like being mean and serious but i will turn it on when necessary i really liked a few of the other employees there at the beginning, i saw the place was being built.. and i was determined to get a job there i walked in one day when they weren't even open yet.. (people were in there opening boxes and ish) and i told them i wanted to work there i remember at the time i wanted to stand out.. so i had put on a cowboy hat i found in my dad's closet i figured that would take me from nameless black guy, to distinguishable black guy wearing something ridiculous but pulling it off somehow my mom told me what i was doing was ridiculous and said i wouldn't get the job.. but i had a feeling it would work so i walked in wearing the cowboy hat and once i got the attention of the lady, the first thing she said was "i like ur hat" so i actually interviewed while wearing a cowboy hat and got the job.. i didn't even take it off or anything.. could i have done that with a new era cap? u be the judge. so basically this period of my life was weird, i was very alone and empty as a long relationship had just ended for me.. also i had nothing good going for me as far as school or ambitions, i was really sad and depressed inside but i don't think anyone saw it we eventually got a different boss tho, and his name was jamie.. i loved him because i hated my life at the time but i never showed it.. but he outwardly showed his disdain for his life he probably never understood why i liked him so much, but that was why.. it was like we were in the same sort of depressing, "i hate my life and my job, and i don't know what tomorrow holds" thing i remember when i was working with him i was like "this is amazing, how often do u work a job where ur boss hates work more than you do!?" it was so cool its was like i saw myself in him everyday because he wore his feelings on his sleeves, i however kept it all inside, so when i saw him i guess i just felt like we had a connection.. but like i said, he probably never saw it because i held it all in but one day i was mean to a customer and i felt bad about it.. my true feelings about my life began to come out and so i quit.. i always felt like if i couldn't be nice to people anymore then i should just quit.. so i did but this period of my life was really weird.. i was a total slacker with no life and i was always on myspace.. i hated my life but didn't know what to do.. but still working at movie gallery was full of some great memories.. some fun times were had in there for sure
