do they collide? i ask, and you smile.
this is probably going to be the most random entry ive ever written cuz its about strangers basically. things i just noticed and decided to write down.
every week an man comes into breadwinners. his name is eric and he reminds me of the fifties. hair parted, pants pleated, collar pressed. good manners. always a smiling face. he comes in and talks to renee. polite conversation. i always kind of except him to frown, because the things he talks about arent always happy. when i was sweeping i heard him talking to renee (my boss) about how his company was downsizing, and how he couldnt go on vacation because he didnt have enough hours. and was working overtime to pay off his mortgage. and yet all the while he looks like hes just won a million bucks. it amazes me how some people are so good at being optimistic.
also recently i had another epiphany about a man whose name i dont even know.
in my neighboorhood theres a man who rides his bike everyday. up and down pemberton and all the side streets. always wearing sunglasses. and always smiles and waves when he passes. in essence i see this man everyday. one day i was outside sitting on my swing. lost in thought depressed about some stupid teenage thing or another, he rode by. and i thought to myself, oh great here i am looking like a blubbering baby infront of this guy i dont even know. thats when it occured to me that this guy has seen me in every possible background. completely depressed, happy, blank, reading, listening to music, in the pouring rain, in sunshine, walking home from work, doing yardwork,relaxed, stressed, everything. i wondered if some of my friends ive known for years had seen me in every background like this guy has. because i never have to fake anything.if im sad im sad. im not going to act happy infront of him like i would for my friends and family. and ive never exchanged a word with the man.
i know this sounded like a bunch of ramblings but i recently started people watching.
on another note that has nothing to do with the first,
i have the best friends
and im sorry i complain so much
i hereby procalim this is the end of my useless bitching days
