From Easy Street

My smile has come out of hiding and has suffered through a stern talking to. It was partially ironic that the very next day following the previous entry, everything came up roses. Early to bed does more than precede early to rise. I have needed a replacement to my current chair a day after I received it. Unfortunately, it takes a few years and I went to see about ordering another chair. The one that I have now is big and clunky and I had vowed to spend time to get it right. I researched to find a company and I'm confident I made the right choice. It's run by a rather large man with a larger personality. The man that handles sales is his brother-in-law and I was immediately tag-teamed with jokes and sarcasm.

MayaInspire is typically on the serious side of things but I like a little hee-haw every now and again. I spent a total of 4 hours in there with them exploring my options and settling details. In the midst of it all he blurts out "no, you don't want that because that looks too handicapped!" It was all in a joking way ofcourse but that didn't stop the ire from rising. Your girl played it off well, he had no idea that he had just thrown out the equivalent of a putrid carcass in front of me. I know you are probably scratching your head wondering what has gone wrong and I suppose I am as well. I touched on this problem a little bit in The Word Game. Typically, this is not a game I enjoy playing simply because the odds of losing are too great.

I recently had a conversation about titles and perceptions. Someone had gone into a car dealership looking to finance but was declined because he was a "truck driver." A little research and you too will find that there is money to be made in the profession but that clearly is beside the point. He tried the same dealership a few months later but was now a "transport specialist." He left driving a brand new financed car. Someone out there please tell me if it is indeed true that "I comes before E except after Y." I will call you personally because I'm struggling over here. Housewives have morphed into homemakers; secretaries into administrative assistants; strippers to exotic dancers; and ex's are now glorified as baby mamas. I'm not mad at cha, do your thing.

Realities tend to stay the same while these words get dipped in a vat of gold to re-emerge anew. I am dipping, I am dipping right now as we speak/read/write. I heard through the grapevine that reality bites. It has bit me on far too many occasions and there are instances where the Neosporin can't heal one bite before I get another. It is hard and there are no breaks. There are no breaks but I know that bows come by the trillions. There are red bows, pink bows, sky blue, and they even come in my favorite which is lime green. These bows are daintily placed on new and exciting words that redefine ugly and harsh associations thus disassociating us from our realities. Whew, just when I thought we were without a fix!

He is a kind man with a strong desire to hook your girl up. He had no idea, he really didn't. I mean, how could he have known that he was sitting across from a woman who has holes the size of craters in her backyard? These gaping holes have yet to yield an exit from the word game. Until I can successfully dig my way out, let's me and you come to an agreement. We are going to erase "handicapped" from the hearts and minds of everybody. In its place we'll put a word that means sexy as all get out. It will mean defining my world the way that I see it; steadily learning and steadily growing. It will mean overcoming in ways that are the same and starkly different from you. It will mean a life worth living. Suggestions are welcome.
