| | Geesh, what a day I am having. It is a comedy of errors and I can only laugh about it now. Anyway, I decided to go get a cup o'coffee a couple of blocks away from where I work this morning. I'm not a coffee person but I wanted to get some since all the cool kids are doing it. As I was walking back strutting like a supa-model, the sole of my shoe started to slowly come off. I was three blocks away and I didn't know what to do. If I really was on the runway, then I would have to keep on walking. What to do?! If I fall down, I will never become "America's Next Top Model!"
The street wasn't that crowded but the people who were out could hear my shoe flap really hard. Should I try to look back at them and think "Clap if your horney!"? Or should I try to look at another person and divert the blame on someone else, you know like when I pass gas or something. Then, the sole of my shoe started to come off some more. I was really in for it now.
Then, I remember there was a shoe repair place near my work and I was heading in the same direction. I had to start walking without trying to move my foot off the ground. I looked like Pamela Anderson after her sex video with Tommy Lee, stiff and unable to walk properly. People were staring at me. I just had to maintain no eye contact and act like nothing was wrong and just pray that no one would throw change at me...at least, not until I finish my coffee first cuz where the hell am I suppose to hold'em?
Then I was like, "Oh geesh, I hope I have enough money after I bought this $6 cup of coffee." I would just have to improvise from there, but first, I need to get there with enough dignity. I get to the store and there is a line! I was thinking, "wow, I'm not alone. I'm in the company of my fellow hideous freaks." Yeah people were just picking up their shoes, no sympathy from them. I wanted to scream to them "I used to be you!!! You used to be me!!!"
When I lifted up my shoe, my whole sole fell off like Isaiah Washington's career. The nice gentleman said that it would take 15 minutes. I was like "please, just fix it. I'm hideous, don't look at me!!!" As I was waiting, there was a shoe shine area. Do people really get their shoes shined? Do they have the time for a shoe shine in this day and age? Yes, people still did get their shoes shined. I was waiting for the shoe shiner to call the guys getting their shoe shined "guv'na!" I just thought that was interesting. Anyway, they fixed my shoe and I was back to normal.
Just got me to thinking about how we take the little things for granted. Then I realized, "that's nice" and strutted back to work as if nothing happened. Now, I'm one of you now!!!
