life, my friends, is good.
i missed the bus (oh, and that is something i will never ever ever do again), and i caught up to it a few stops later. i love bike friendly towns. well, just this one, since it's the only one.
while i was locking my bike down, an overweight asian guy walked up in that "i'm waiting for you to look up in a very inconspicuous way, even though i'm in a hurry" dance. when i finally looked up, he blurted out "you student here? you go class?" i said no, and he didn't lose steam. "you no student? you go inside?" no. now go bounce your english as a second language off someone else.
so, it looks like this weekend is shaping up to be a lot more eventful than previously expected. two cool ass mofos are visiting, and i don't know what to do. i wonder if they are carpooling.
so today someone broke down a past relationship for me, likening the halves to states, with her being new jersey and me being oklahoma. of course, it was meant as a compliment, preceded by "the most sincere and genuinely nice person i have ever met". but OKLAHOMA? there ain't no wind running down these finely chiseled plains. unless i'm biking. which is all the time.
i had a great conversation about how much the way someone picks you up defines who they are yesterday. if they come to your door, they are generally a good person. if they call before they get there, they are generally scared. if they wait outside and honk, they are self-centered and oblivious. this has become a general test for parents of high school girls. i waited outside for a second in case she wanted to escape quickly, then i went inside. when i walked in, her parents told me i passed.
hours later, someone came to pick this person up. they honked.
which leads me to my question of the day. as a society, do we naturally mistake kindness for weakness and try to take advantage of it, or are there people that appreciate the kindness and try to return it as much as possible?

murphy:
My friend kindness is almost always mistaken as weakness take if from someone who know from years of experience, but I gather I don't have to tell you this because I belive you and I are from that same frame of mine.
