today's itinerary showed clear skies in all departments...
thought i would hit up one of my favorite chill spots for some bubble
tea...stinky tofu and wi-fi abuse...i noticed that at one point
everybody seated on the second floor were ridin' solo...as if it was
premeditated by upper management to have all the loners partitioned
upstairs hidden to all the civic pedestrians passing by. This in turn
wouldn't effect the establishments overzealous image of being a fun and
lively place for urban socialites to congregate, converse and discuss
their latest material purchases. How cool would it be if there was a
coffee shop that only seated individuals. comfortable recliners that
were strategically lined up for those who find connection in being in a
public place, alone. it can be called "solitary en.joy.ment - for only
the lonley/s" ok the name's shit but maybe it could work. i looked
around and wondered if the people around me were alone by choice or by
circumstance. the lady sitting directly adjacent to me is deeply into
her novel so i assume she's here by choice. the man beside me looks
pretty focused on devouring his food by the kilos so i assume he hasn't eaten in days. the teenager on the far right has been staring aimlessly into
oblivion for the longest time now so i'm guessing he just wants to be
in a place where he can sulk and be depressed. i can't really see what
the elderly women is doing behind me so i'm thinking she's probably
knitting a sweater for her grandchild that's just about to celebrate
his big 3.0. As far as the female sitting close to the stairs, from my
observations she's been frantically on phone. dialing, talking and
doing more dialing. maybe she's the type that can't stand to be alone but
under the circumstances has no choice. at this point, a table of 4
walks upstairs and is seated to my right. all hits the fan. our
collective for solitude has officially been compromised therefore this
blog will no longer serve anymore relevance. damn it jim.
"booth snap for the nosy..."
