So ... here I am - jumping on the blogging band wagon (is that one word or two?) - I'm too lazy to check so I'll just leave it as is - this is a blog you know and therefore I can spell like I've never been to school and I can use language that a sailor would be ashamed of... right? Or do I have this blogging thing all wrong?
Either way - let me see if I have a knack for this ...
Everyday I walk to and from work - which is a good 20 minute walk, 20 minutes ALL to myself is bliss you would think but actually its not all that, I spend my time with these damn random thoughts that run through my head - I've even convinced myself once that there is DEFINITELY an alien in my head, there is just no way that one person can think up so much !@$% - shit, I forgot that I'm allowed to swear.
I sometimes have a good giggle at myself at the nonsense that finds its way into my head and every time I shake it off I find myself justifying my thoughts which leads to another rampage of thoughts ... its a vicious cycle ... sigh!
I guess if you cant laugh at yourself then something is wrong ... right?
I want to share something with you... more of a vent session actually...
There is this clothing store on Long Street in Cape Town called Traffic that I walk past every morning and every afternoon and a few minutes before I get there I encourage myself that today is the day I go in and sample some of the clothes that tease me from the store window and I psych myself up so much that I feel like I'm the living (female) version of Rocky ... so, this is it - I'm going in - I walk head up, shoulders back ... deep breath and then I hear it ... the LOUD BLARING hip hop music coming from inside the store and I am immediately repulsed and so, yet again goes another day I am unable to go into Traffic.
I walk away feeling defeated by this noise they call music and I can feel how smug the music becomes as I walk past ... DAMMIT!
I am all for music 'makes the world go around' but hell, that makes the world want to creep back into itself, so I ask you , do I sacrifice my sanity for clothes I'll 10 to 1 never wear or do I let this ..... 'music' have its way?
xoxo
i'd say just let the music have it's way, their clothing isn't that amazing and the prices aren't all that either. i went to have a look once.
ReplyDeleteoh, and welcome to the world of bloggin!
Oh my word! I have a 'thing' with Traffic too! It's not the music that gets to me but the shop assistants. Because the store is almost always empty, I don't want to be put in the position where there is a 5:1 assistant customer ratio.
ReplyDeleteBtw, midway through my comment B woke up, threw up on me and my blanket. So this took me about 10 min longer than it should have.
lol Ash! i know how you feel - its also the assistants - i know that if i walk in their and im alone in the store im going to feel like im actually not allowed to be there - even the music wont be able to fill that awkward feeling you get when you are alone in a shop - its enough to make me walk around naked ... he he he!
ReplyDeleteOr there could be the situation when they ALL want to help you at the SAME time! thats just creepy!
and dont worry about the vomit - glad to know what B thinks about Traffic .. he he he!
