I'm gonna just change this blog to be called Scenes From, because damn, people are interesting! I've made it my personal goal to just start chatting up peeps wherever I go, because let me tell you, it's a real treat! I inherited this gene from my father, who has never gone anywhere in his life without making a friend. Much to my mother's chagrin, my dad talks to anyone and everyone, which can tend to make small expeditions into lengthy ones. But turns out, pops was on to something. Everyone has got something to share, man!
Which takes me to today, when I briefly went home for lunch to acquire meds for my constantly ailing tum.
Scene: Slynnro gets on elevator, which is already occupied by incredibly tall, be-dread-headed man in athletic shorts and hipster spectacles.
Dude: Hello! (people on my elevator are always so damn nice! It's an elevator miracle!)
Me: (staring at buttons on elevator) I can never remember where I freakin' parked!
Dude: Yeah, I know, it's all just part of their game.
Me: (who the fuck is they?)
Dude: (smile)
Me: Wait a minute, do your frames really not have lenses in them?
Dude: Nope. No lenses.
Me: (wow, this guy is seriously wearing glasses with NO DAMN LENSES!)
Me: Man, I gotta tell ya. That's really weird.
Dude: Aw, naw. I picked them up when I was in the Carib. (knowingly)
Me: (Oh, so you are so familiar with the Caribbean that it's the "Carib" to you?) (Also, not sure how that makes this make ANY DAMN SENSE.)
Me: Ah, well, yes obviously.
Dude: I get bored a lot.
Me: (elevator reaches my floor) Have a nice day! Good luck with seeing and all!
