so do you ever have those nights where everything just feels slightly off....askew, or out of wack.....like the crazy train got derailed and all it's occupants were released into your general vicinity....well that was my night..... excuse me for a second while i deal with the willies.
It began with a drink after work with a friend of mine who had some "work" related issues... so to speak. That progressed to getting changed into evening attire and out of work clothes.We then headed out to continue our chat in a more mellow environment over a few beers. This did not go as planned. As it turns out "mellow" was term for "creepy old guys"....because every man over the age of forty seemed to "have a go" at us.... we were assaulted by "drunk eyes" (you know those glassy, vacant looks thrown at you from across the bar topped off with a crooked smile from a face resting on a hand so as not to lose balance?) yeah those. .. They are the kind of old men that offer a round of drinks as means of a conversation starter.... This approach always fails.... suffice it to say our attempt at a serious conversation got lost in the air trafficking we were forced to direct to get these people to "LEAVE US ALONE" but alas. After the sixth one was shooed away we ended up in a fit of laughter at the absurdity of it all and decided to call it a night.
If only it could have ended there.....
No sooner had we reached the outside than a thugged out ... "dude" asks for $.75 to catch the bus.... which as a good samaritan i gave him.... Then came these priceless words that every girl loves to hear directed at neither my friend nor I but more towards the space between us,
"Hey miha, you pregnant?"
To this several responses came to mind
1. "don't pinche call me miha"
2. "I want my $.75 back
3. "yes....8 months.... and it's yours"
None of these however, were actually spoken....
I then rode home to the soft sounds of Lady Gaga's "bad romance" wanting nothing more than to take a hot shower....crawl under my blankets, finish the book i'm reading, and forget this night ever happened..... all of which will be accomplished with the exception of the last part...
to quote Kurt Vonnegut " So it goes"
goodnight
xoxo
