On friday at 3 oclock the clock tower in Half-Way-Tree rang out over the wet, densely packed traffic filled street of my cold little island. Its was a familar or even expected sound that didn't phase me as much as it did the old man. He looked up at it puzzled. Fly in his plaid shirt and his hair was all gray, he hadn't heard it ring in over 30 years. He turned to look up at it as if it was a second coming, a mysterious flying octopus or an erect wii. I didn't not stop to question him further, my lunch break was already up and I had to navigate my way down between the cars that were parked in the intersection.
All the lights where on green and everybody was going nowhere at the same time. I stop by the back of York Pharmacy to charge my "Smart Card" bus pass while watching the shorties walk by. I had used it all on my last trip because I am sans car. The bus terminus in front of Mother's was already packed with schoolers and the lazy the people that are lucky enough to leave work early. I did not see any that I know, I know a few. Most were wrapped in winter coats.
The street is still filled with poddles of water as I navigate the crowd of people, standing sans bus - hurrying to get to their respective plots of land. I won't be one of the them as I find my way back to the office like a bird finds her way back to the nest - things to do. I approach another intersection, just as packed as the one before sans clock. The people are less now, as if I've passed through a swarm of bees. The cars mock me as I walk by.
Stunner commented: I'm glad I escaped the traffic, I heard it was terrible! I went to Utech to collect my exam card at about 2:00 and had to cancell all my business i had after that due to the rain, I just had to make my way down the river to my office. Good thing I did! ... read 10 more
Sometimes I wonder why they still make regular corn flakes. Is it that somebody just forgot to put the frosting on? I cannot believe that there are actual LIVING people out there that are still THAT backward thinking. Especially in this day and age of modern technology. Tragedy, when you lose control and you got no soul. An age in which regular flakes can be magically impregnated with sugary stuff until it forms into frosted goodness. A age in which we have things like frosted wheat squares and co-co-puffs. Cheap corn flakes is not as good - trust me - there are somethings in life you have to pay full price. Corn flakes is one of them, prostitutes and monkeys are not.
It reminds me also of the money I wasted on a subway, sandwich, cookie and juice. I mean it IS a vegetable sandwich, it tastes neither good nor bad. It was as "fresh" as they said. I would describe it as being similar to picking a leaf off a cabbage (still in the ground) and eating it - it was that fresh. But I would not waste my money on that again because FRESHNESS NO FULL BELLY. Plus it did not have a "zing" to it - that "zing" you get from spicy chicken cooked to a crisp in an oil like substance. I enjoyed the cookie, although on the package it said that it might contain "NUTS" NOT LISTED IN THE INGREDIENTS. Nuts? I did not see any ingredients on the paper bag. Even worst it was copyrighted in 2005 by a company I have never heard about called "Doctor's". It is more than it seems.
I fought the war but the war won. I am hungry now, as I type this to myself in a girly voiceover. I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you, think that your mine. I need a few more lines to fill my 3 paragraph quota before I go to sleep. I would have you know that its Friday night and I won't post this until Sunday. In the hopes that hopefully something more exciting happens in the next 24 hours. I could never see tomorrow, I was never told about the sorrows. It took me close to 2 hours to write, analyze, organize while listening to the Bee Gees, George Michael and Rod Stewart. Wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger.
Gods Child commented: What I don't get is shredded wheat without frosting. Unbelievable.
The corn flakes, I get. It's pretty sweet by itself and some people(like me) drink soy milk which has added sugar. ... read 19 more
