Lost cell phone and racial profiling
On Tuesday I left my cell phone in the bathroom of the library. Once I realized it was gone I went back to find someone else in the stall. After 15 minutes he was gone, but so was my cell phone, however I saw his shoes and went to confront him in the computer lab. It was someone who I’d never met before, and he claimed not to have seen it. I then asked if he would mind showing me his backpack, so I could be sure. This is where things took a turn for the worse. He felt insulted by me asking, because he is Hispanic and felt I was profiling him. Though I would have asked him to show me his backpack despite his race, I could empathize. I felt pretty bad after the fact, and to top things off I still haven’t found my phone.

I’m back, baby.
Not than anyone follows me anyways.
So here’s the predicament
Do I continue in my Casanova adventures, or succumb to my compulsory ways of “trying to make it work”?
The similarities between (Charles Bernstein) A Nightmare on Elm Street’s “Dream Warriors” and (Hans Zimmer) The Ring’s “Rachel’s Quest” is uncanny.
