Defining Oneself
Actual conversation on a plane.
Guy: What do you do in Austin?
Me: I’m a web designer & a photographer
Guy: which one?
Me: both really
Guy: um… Ok. What are your hobbies?
Me: Well those but I do a lot of improv now
Guy: So you are a comedian?
Me: well… I like it as a artform, not specifically for comedy
Guy:…? Ok, so you are an actor
Me: In a way, I guess
Later on the flight. He spots me drawing in a book.
Guy: So you are a cartoonist as well?
Me: Um…My major was art so I draw a lot
Guy: Wait what? It sounds like you need to pick something and figure out who you are
Me: … (long pause) no thanks, I’m fine.
Guy: (rolls his eyes)
I put on my headphones and we didn’t speak another word. What a jackass.
Wow.
Dude, this guy doesn’t know what the deal is. I think that being a multi-facet and talented individual is the way to go. He was obviously jealous. Should have whipped his ass
Psh, who wouldn’t be jealous of Bolden? Thank you for being better than that guy
This made me laugh, in that the guy needs to get a clue. I like your response to him at the end. Good for you, do whatever you want!
