I was bitter single person today. Ok ok ... I'm like that everyday but today was like ... blah. The weather was great. Great weather = couples. Couples = me going "blah" every 5 seconds.
I went over to Husani's but he wasn't at the office yet. That sorta put me in a blah mood cuz I already said I hate going there and he's not there. I needed something cold to drink so I stopped by Starbucks for a frappuchino. Y'know ... I could never understand the Starbucks' near Union Square. I mean ... you have that one when you get out the subway on 5th or whatever and then like right across Union Square itself .... almost exactly opposite is ..... *gasp* .... another Starbucks.
Starbucks and Gap. It's hard to walk far in the city without bumping into one of them. Barnes & Noble's getting up there too. Especially since they have Starbucks' in Barnes & Noble. Oy!
Anyway .... so I get frap and walk through the square to the subway. Half way .... there's this couple walking towards me. I'm sipping my frap and then time slows down. Everything slows down. Everything fades and spotlights shine on the couple and myself. Cute, young interracial couple. Very pretty girl with mocha skin. Cute white skater-type guy.
For some reason ... my eyes became fixed on her baby blue tank top. Perky breasts and a great body, she had. Things slowed down even more as I got closer and I stared at the smiles on their faces. And then .... he just grabbed her by the waist and they kissed. Her eyes closed but his remained open and caught mine. As if the kiss was out of spite. I looked away and everything started going back to real-time.
When you're single ... it's like everyone's hooking up but you. You step outside and all the couples have to walk right by you and hold hands, and makeout in the park, and makeout on the train, na dmakeout in the middle of the sidewalk. Pretty much any and everywhere ya go.
It's just ... rude. There should be a law or something. Like ... hmmm ... "Couples who encounter single people in public should show no signs of affection until the single person is out of site or earshot."
I walked around for a while and then just went back to the apartment. My buddy, Bill, told me about this gay and lesbian center that has apartment and roommate postings on their bulletin board. I couldn't remember where he said it was though. I remembered the Identity House and walked over there but they were closed.
