Life in Normalville

Ok I need a break. I wanted to be with the trail blazer's. and not stand out in the streets with a camera.

Street fashion comes to mind. So I left Wall street and headed to Wal-mart in the 'burbs of America where the democratic campaign takes a back seat to hair spray.

I wanted something similar to what HIllary wears to reflect and capture the minds of voters while she blazes the street in true street fashion seen on CNN. You know that "Normalville" look.

Yeah I took my "happy pill today" after losing count of the he said she said no content speeches that totally turn a blind eye to the recession we are in. I went for the labels most Americans can't pronounce. Like Nino Sarooty. I wanted to use my brain. An think about a satirical essay from 1729 called " Modest Proposal", written by Johnathan Swift . HIs essay could be applied to many issues we are encountering.
When in doubt break out in your street fashion, people won't think much. After all it's not summer.

    quite the expression glenn! i give you high marks. what is the odd looking thing in front of the door on the right side? a mirror? if so, what is it reflecting? in the corner of the window, the lights make a similar pattern and it almost seems to me that you are standing with water to your back. this photo is profoundly ironic!

    My happy pill could be my camera if I could just find something to be inspired about. The suburbs of America, you say?
