Way To Be Optimistic, Dude.

On my way to grab an afternoon 2-4-1 at a hole in the wall bar after a filling Caribbean buffet in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis, this guy came strolling down the street.

Now, I am not one to judge others…That is unless you wear the F-word on your hoodie.  If you wear the F-word on your hoodie, my judgment would be that we simply have very different tastes in music.

I also know that if I were to wear that hoodie, my mother would likely beat me down…no matter my age.

I love my mom.

    I bet your brother, the Marine, would have something to say about that hoodie, too. Your Mom sounds great.

    I appreciate the fact that a man can walk down the sidewalk with the F-word on his back. It’s one of our most expressive rights, Freedom of Speech. My “American Dream” is to support that right. Once you start censoring where will it end. Whether or not wearing something like that is tasteful, only you can be the judge… but don’t take my word for it. Butterfly in the sky I can go twice as high it’s in a book take a look. It’s Reading Rainbow. Seriously though Freedom of Speech Fucking Rocks!

    Yes, freedom of speech is wonderful. But doen’t that give us a right to comment on someone’s choice of clothing that reads F*%# the american dream. And drew I agree, if my mother saw me wearing that she would beat me down too.Freedom of speech does rock.. for all opinions.Just a thought :)
