Sometimes it's funny how you think you're acting normal, just doing your regular thing, and you are suddenly presented with your absurd reality. For instance, I saw my friend Allison in a coffee shop over on Polk St. studying for her law final. I popped in and we chatted. As I was getting up to leave I stepped away from the chair funny, almost half falling down. My reaction was to sit back down on the toppling chair quickly, causing a huge CRACK sounds, totally destryoing the carefully manicured silence of the coffee shop. In that instant I saw myself- sweaty and red from a work out holding a shopping bag containing a 40 and a can of chicken noodle soup. At that moment, I looked certifiably insane and ready for the crack-laden streets.
I mention this self affirmation moment not for masochistic purposes- I don't enjoy degrading myself (often). The simple absurdity of it all just makes me laugh. I figure this is simply a reflection of my sporadic lifestlye- drinking and eating soup- that is part of a phase that will someday pass. It will pass, right?
