To Develop: Blog 365 Day 52 – Black Watch
By Jiddoe S'Phatt
Warmest greetings! My name is Jiddoe S’Phatt. Welcome to day
52 of “To Develop: Blog 365”.
Inspiration to write comes from a number of places. For this
blog I’ve been inspired by hip-hop artist Rick Chyme and producer
David K. Manley of Man@Work Productions. Through a collaborative project
titled #DailyPieces365
these two artists will release a new song every day for 365 consecutive days!
Their impressive dedication has motivated me to write a new blog every day of
2018.
A little piece of me goes into each entry I write. I hope
you enjoy this one!

I’m blessed to wear an expensive Black Fossil watch on my Black
skin. I always know what time it is.
If I’m not dressed up for a special occasion, which I love
to do, you’ll often find me wearing a t-shirt. It’s usually something video
game or cartoon related. Here and there I’m decked in MSU gear, one from a
charity show or concert – Pop Evil, Hip-Hop for Flint, Project Cypher – or plain,
nothing printed on it at all. At these times this chucky, shiny time piece of
mine is visible.
Worn on my left arm, it stands out like a lighthouse. People
of all ages and ethnic backgrounds sail over to compliment me on this accessory
or to simply get a closer look.
I like when people choose to comment. It’s surprising how
lengthy of a conversation you can have with people about watches. It shouldn’t
be a surprise, though, because it’s such a universal item. Lots of people
collect them. Their essentially functional bracelets.
Then there’s those who don’t say anything with their mouths.
Their eyes and facial expressions say enough. It’s people of all ages and
ethnic backgrounds who look at me like, “Where’d you get that?”
I always know what time it is.
