Nobody reads this shit anymore so my secrets are safe here, hiding in plain sight.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> At a coffee shop, after a day spent bolting up to Mott Haven for what turned out to be no good reason. I rarely feel like a white man out of place in a racial sense but I sure as hell felt conspicuous in those parts. Stares and one kid threw a fake punch in the direction of my face. <\/p>\n<p> I do someting at my job I bet no one else does, or if they do they would never admit to it. I take the job home with me.

It&#8217;s so obvious to me but I guess others would not catch what&#8217;s happening. He is trying to bury the bad news about him with an avalanche of love. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>all that shit I just deleted.
