On my way down the street
Saw Unbroken ad on bus
Survival, Resilience, Redemption
Yea that's me
Have to survive this cruel place called earth
Must be resilient for many difficult things will happen
Must believe in Jesus to help redeem me

Went to Macy's
To use my gift card
Bought the gold toe socks
And some red earth colored dockers

Poor cashier
Was dealing with a nightmare transaction
They wanted that 25 dollars
Credited to their account
Well, turns out they had used the wrong card
To make the initial purchase
Charge showed up on the wrong card
Or something like that
The guy had to call the manager
Cashier handled it well
Lady said something like,
"So what your saying is you won't give us back our twenty-five dollars"
Ugh relax lady, remember it was your boyfriend or hubby
Or whoever the heck he was
Who initially purchased it with the wrong card
This lead to all the problems
So be more careful next time, okay?
And do not snap please.

Nice asian lady
Handled my transaction
Simple transaction
I bought with gift card
She was pretty
Patient too
I liked her
I dreamed of holding her at night
Usually dreams don't come true in this life
It seems

Then went to hiking store
Overheard the guy explaining
There are sleeping bags made for me
And bags made for women
Evolutionarily speaking
He explained how men's body heat
Is more spread out at their extremities
With women he says it is more in their core
Too many problems with evolution
It's not the be all and end all
Like he thinks it is

Was going to buy some different energy bars and snacks
Put them back
Cashier was kind of annoying
Bleh
Overly cheery
He was a good guy
Just didn't want deal with overly cheery guy
Maybe he will start long conversation
Don't need those snacks anyway
Overpriced

Life is sad
Life is lonely these days

At least I am going on a hike
With a friend tomorrow
