Graffiti With a Message


I do not know who painted this graffiti, but I wish I did.  I'd happily take the artist out for a beer.

The first time I saw this, I was struck.  I still am.

Every time I see this print, I get to thinking about how much I want my own  brick & mortar business, and what a frustrating road it has been to get there--lots of delays and not enough answers when I'm polite about things.   I can sort of relate to perhaps why the artist in the photo finally spray-painted his feelings on the side of an defunct theatre--one way or another, 'S' was going to know how the artist felt.  No doubt, no ambiguity.

I finally took a hint from this photo, and the other day,  I wrote a letter to the powers that be over where I would have my brick & mortar biz, laid matters out factually,  and asked why I wasn't getting a solid answer from all the departments that had to give me a yay or nay response?

 So, to make a long story short, we had a conference call to discuss the situation, and I got my answer.  and it was yes.  I can have my biz more or less where I want it.  Not necessarily in the form I'd want it, but at least I can have it in a way that is work-able for me.

This was great!  At least until I discovered I'd have to jump through more hoops to get into a location for my business.  I'll jump them, I suppose..but only for the 'just right' sort of place.

In the meantime, I continue to write about life, personal development, and my adventures.
