So I have not been in the writing mood lately (as you can
see by my absence)…I think it is because my summer fever has hit an all time
high…the last post was pathetic and I actually am somewhat ashamed at how many Russians
I have lost as followers…so “прости меня” Russia!!
Anyway, So today readers I tried a whole “not driving into
work because I wanted to save gas and also be healthy thing” AKA “my car was on
empty and I have no friends who could have driven me the 4 minutes to work”…So
like any “sane professional” I decided to run to school and arrive a sweaty
mess.
Ok so running to work had its positives and negatives
Positives:
-I felt like a freaking exercise maniac
-I kept telling myself, “Look at me being all healthy… and Running…stuff”
-I got to school with an abnormal amount of energy
-I woke up this morning and it was sunny so I got to enjoy
the weather a little bit more
-I bought myself another day of delaying paying for gas
-I got to rock out to blasting music while running
-If anyone saw me running…it might have been a turn on???
(HAHAHA DOUBT IT!!! I RUN LIKE A MORON)
Negatives:
-My scanty-European-flimsy shorts could be considered “inappropriate
for work”
-I had to change clothes when I got to school
-I arrived an angry mess
-I was a sweaty beast upon arrival
-I run on a main road
-I hate running
-I run really funny and I flail
-With no car…I had nothing to cry in, and eat in during my
lunch break
-I really hate running
But I enjoyed it…I felt stupid…but I really enjoyed it…
Anyway…NEW THOUGHT
So, it was funny (at least to me)…Today I ran into the
grocery store quickly in order to buy some of my necessary items (booze,
cigarettes, and of course…toothpaste) and while checking out I saw the very cliché
“NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE” sign. Seriously, I understand that this sign
DOES have significance in certain places…but seriously…
ONE, the place I walked into should NOT be that picky…as far
as convenience stores go…this one is a dive...
TWO, I don’t really know a lot of people who drive around
places and strip off their clothes or are already half naked upon arrival
(unless at the beach)
THREE, Ok so I need a shirt, and I need some shoes….but LOOP
hole…I don’t need pants
FOUR, I live in an area where it is not very likely to have
people walk around half naked (slutty is a different story)…I live in very much
the definition of suburbia
FIVE, I repeat…why leave the LOOP hole that is pants...Pants
Off, Dance Off
Then being the wise ass I am…I had to ask…”How often do you ACTUALLY have to enforce
that rule”…and the employee’s response was…”I never even noticed that sign was there” (the sign was large)
But really, I don’t exactly understand these signs…or maybe I
am just not used to them…I feel it is one of those “down the shore”/ ”at the
beach type of things”. Having grown up in Italy the signs usually say “Clothing
Optional” as opposed to the “No…No…No Service”.
When I was there last I think I only wore a shirt to go out
at night and the same for shoes. People were barefoot and shirtless and
surrrrre it might not have been proper but people were sure as hell not denied
service. It was very liberating…
Same thinking should be utilized down the shore when,
believe it or not, people actually walk around with just swim trunks on these
signs can be appropriate…but still, I don’t know why I find this concept so
hard to wrap my head around. Maybe I just enjoy being half naked…I really enjoy
walking barefoot…but those signs just make me think and become confused…It is
kind of like when I see “no smoking signs” in illogical places. For example,
when I see them in elementary school classrooms...

| DAMN IT, I knew I should not have removed that sign.... |
However, I do take notice of one thing…and in my opinion…(here
comes my PSA that contradicts this whole post) shoes are very necessary when
walking around in public stores. I see it as a HUGE liability…you would not
want to step on anything sharp, harmful, or hazardous. However…the shirt thing…I
guess it is a distraction, or a way to negate unfortunate people from being
undressed in public?
However a person has dominion over his/her own body…
THAT’S WHY I SAY CONFIDENTLY: NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO PROBLEM!
In fact…lets make a new sign with some bigger issues…when is
someone going to create the
NO FOOD, NO ALCOHOL,
NO FUN sign
Or my version
NO VODKA, NO VODKA, NO HAPPYNESS sign
More posts coming soon, I Promise…
FOR NOW
CHEERS, SALUTE, CHIN CHIN!!!
