Personal Cultural Inventory

My alarm on my Verizon phone with some rinky dink default sound clip. I ate Kellogg’s rice krispies cereal with a lot of sugar of course. I checked my mail to make sure what time I needed to be to the 36th district court downtown for a speeding ticket. Hopping in the shower after I brushed my teeth with the very minty Crest toothpaste, I looked in my closet (considering I have to go to court and to work) for my dress/business clothes. Burberry tie, French cuffed shirt, dress pants and square toe Stacy Adam’s dress shoes.
Listening to a little jazz on the way downtown, along with my 1996 Pontiac Bonneville I saw plenty of cars on the road and most of them recent sedans, school buses and one random stick shift Jetta with a positive political statement in regards to Barack Obama. Waiting outside of the courtroom with plenty of other people, I noticed most were in casual urban clothing (Ecko,RocaWear,Nike etc.), some suited lawyers wearing very expensive Ferragamo dress shoes , and fully uniformed officers. Heading to U of M Dearborn for class, I began to look at the stores and restaurants change from all English advertisements to English and Arabic advertisements. Waiting in the cafeteria before class starts, I saw Arabic students dressed in casual clothing along with head coverings, African American students dressed in casual urban clothing, and Caucasian students dressed in casual clothing such as Levi’s skinny jeans, with fitting hoodies, screen tees and Vans slip on shoes or a Ralph Lauren polo with some Rock&Republic jeans.
After leaving work, in which people where dressed in business casual clothing (Dockers and an Express button-up) or dressy business clothing with clothing similar to mine, I ended the day by going to the Palladium movie theater in Birmingham, MI to see the new Tyler Perry movie “The Family that Preys”.
