Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail.

Because I want to support black businesses


Am not a big T-shirt guy and even less likely to sport torso bumper stickers---y'know those shirts with ironic or cheeky sayings like "Sexy Grandma" (when worn by some dork who mistakes his penis for an Xbox joystick), "Save Water.Drink Bieer," "Sex Expert. First Lesson FREE," "Bitch"---but I really want to buy a Michael Jackson print.

Problem is I couldn't find a black store owner. The nearby T-shirt and skateboard shops, for whom its mainstay customers, disaffected skate punks and hipsters, regard irony a RedBull spin-off, have a nice selection of MJ shirts but the staff are all monochromatic white. I don't think so.

This is one of those cases where my dollars will go to a black owned business or I'll just have to make do without a farewell shirt.
