People Watching...

On this past Sunday I had the pleasure of hanging out with the girls as we attended an outdoor concert.  We had appetizers, drinks and lots of conversation; however the interesting aspect of it was being able to people watch.  It is amazing at times the things you see.  I often wonder do people have mirrors in their homes.  Its obvious that folks have their own unique style but sometimes I do believe there is a tendency to dress for shock value. For the ladies, the outfits ranged from your classic jeans and tops to "let’s look naked to see if anyone noticed".  There was this purple collage looking thing that floated past on numerous occasions that made me wonder if that is what the sky would look like if I was a drug user.  Fellas, you are not off the hook by a long shot.  I saw Sunday-go-to-meeting suits and Grandpas in throwback Jerseys. Realizing these days you can be a Grandparent at 35 and a Great Grand Parent at 50, I’m really referring to those over the age of 45 who actually think they look “cool” rocking a jersey with matching Nikes.  Stop the madness.  In any case the clothes were quite interesting. 

Now what really struck a chord with me beyond the barrage of fashion debacles were the number of former dates/love interest/ex’s I saw go pass.  Realizing Louisville is quite small, what the hell?  Never do we ever travel in the same circles so seeing these individuals was somewhat of a shock to the system.  Thinking of each, I was definitely going through a different stage in my life.  There is absolutely nothing similar about these men. There’s Big Country, Sexy Black & Fake Drake.  I’ll let the fourth one remain nameless. Some things are just better left anonymous.  I have to wonder, if the opportunity presented itself as a second chance would I go for it?  Considering the person I am today that would be a resounding HELL NO! Now granted each of them may have change just as I have but from a bird’s eye view no.  Thank God for the past it makes the future much more appealing.



On to the next one!!!
