The important thing is always to learn. It doesn't matter what you're reading, what you're doing, as long as you're learning. Life is made up of stories, so always make sure to take stock of everything around you, and anything interesting that happens. It may someday make for a good story. But if it doesn't, it was still a learning experience. So go out, learn, live, and make a story worth telling.
Okay, absolutely hilarious and absolutely true story. Jim and I went to Wah-Fu’s earlier for dinner. Well, we sat right next to the window at the front of the restaurant. As very few of you know, I have the habit of looking out the window whenever something moves in my side vision. Well, I saw this lady across the street, running through the parking lot at Taco Bell. This was weird because she was wearing a red dress. Not just any red dress, either. It looked like something you’d wear to a school dance or the prom or something. You know, reeeeeally fancy looking. Weird, no? But that’s nothing to the person running behind her. Another red dress, still quite fancy, only with sneakers. And it was a man. Yes, a man wearing a red dress, in public. But wait, it gets even more Twilight Zone-y. We must’ve seen, in the half hour or so it took us to eat our food, at least seven or eight guys in red dresses, running around outside Wah-Fu’s. Old guys, young guys, fat guys, all kinds. There were a few women with them in red dresses (and one even had a red boa), but mostly it was men. Weirdest damn thing, ever.
It got me thinking as to why something like this would happen. My first thought was that it was September, and we were only a few blocks away from UD (a big college). Fraternity pledges? But there’s another possibility. I wonder if Ohio State had a game today, and that bets were made and lost, and the losers had to wear red dresses in public. *shrugs* Guess I’ll never know. Unless it makes the Dayton Daily News tomorrow. Must remember to check that when I get up tomorrow.
