Leaving the things that are real behind

Today I did things like walk into an elderly woman, fret over money (can you say insufficient funds?), practice yoga (a much needed session), hang out with Rae and talk about stuff, and much, much more. And the day ain't over yet! I hope to do some writing and recording later and fit in an episode of Mad Men or two. Will I troll the Internet looking at porn, as well? You know, now that you mention it, that might be a good idea.

I suppose I should elaborate on this walking into an elderly woman business. I was exiting the rest room at work and I did so in a hurried manner, for no reason other than I sometimes like to hustle. I was looking to my left as I headed to my right and, BLAMMO!, I walked right into the above-mentioned woman. I apologized profusely, but she was pretty sore with me. "You should watch where you're going", she said. What great advice! In the future, I shall endeavor to pay attention to my surroundings when I'm mobile, so that if I ever come upon this woman again, I'll be able to see her before I spit in her face. What? Did I say that? No, I never would. My pure heart prevents such atrocities. And what am I all riled up about, anyway? I probably would have said the same thing if it was the other way around.

So the world feels like it's fucked. Is that a pessimistic view or does it have the flavor of being on the money? Riots, stock market bullshit, unemployment, Rapture-addled politicians, people wearing Crocs with impunity .....Stop the ride! But wait, 2012 is soon upon us and I may get my wish. May you live in interesting times is right!

Nighty night, dearies.
