Fall means baking streusel, taking out a car coat, maybe darkening your hair. I've done all three already. I'm ready for changes.I shed a lot of things today, and right now, I feel lighter. I will shed more.
A year ago today, I was in a similar state of mind. But with much different circumstances.
Today, I was waiting on the corner of Santa Monica and Ocean about to make a right turn. Windows down, moon roof open. Right at that moment, Tevin Campbell triggered in on my iPod and blared out of my car. Then, an African-American man wearing a purplish Steve Harvey type zoot suit began to cross the street. He heard the music, our eyes met for a second, and he sort of smirked at me. Old skool early 90's jamz. Embarrassed*, I quickly averted his gaze, and hastened the right turn. Be careful what music you're playing when you're stopped, it could expose you a little too much.
* After all these years in Ame-li-ca, I still had immense trouble spelling this word and had to access www.dictionary.com.

Heh. You're being blog spammed. BTW, I also have probs w/the word "embarrassed." One "r"? Two? And sometime in the past week, I also became exceedingly self-conscious as the light turned and cars around me caught me bopping (windows down, sunroof open) to very loud Britney Spears.
I removed the blog spamming. I mean, even when there's a nice comment wrapped in there, they're all still out of context. Everything is a marketing tool these days.
