Men and melons are hard to know.
-Benjamin Franklin
It is a little known fact that Benjamin
Franklin is my imaginary friend. We talk about a lot of things, but
he has never explained this particular quote to me. It would make
sense if it concluded with “unless you thump them.” But standing
alone all it offers is something to ponder in the produce section.
You know what else is fun to think
about while shopping? Yourself. It turns out I'm full of self
surprises. I didn't know I love to draw and love it more after every drawn journal
entry. Pretty cool because the drawings crave stories and I have
stories needing illustration. You regular readers will point out
I've been talking about this for years but, you see, that's all I was
doing. I liked talking about it because it sounded cool, but I never
really did anything about it. Now, it seems my subconscious was
working on it all along. I discovered this at Taco Bell this morning
not the supermarket. Not the biggest epiphany of the week, but I'm
happy with it.
No, the biggest AHA was realizing I had
no fear of public speaking, but lots of fear talking one-on-one. You
know when I learned this? Right after explaining to the lunchroom
the need to wash their hands (I was paid to do this) and being
cornered afterwards by a fink wanting to name names. Maybe it was
her insistence that scared me, but I really wanted the obscurity of a
crowd.
No, I don't have any point.
