Thinking I'm all that, living in my three bedroom suite with no roommates, I start strutting around the apartment, playing whatever music I want, at whatever level I want, turning on the television to whatever channel I want, watching silly comedies of every flavour and heaving a gutteral guffaw whenever I please. I started to make a packet of Kraft creamy Macaroni and Cheese, fried some Mitchell's Brand Greek sausage and in the ten minutes it was taking to become the end product, I ran into the washroom for my obligatory end-of-day pee. And when I looked in the mirror, I notice, to a reflective shudder, that I am wearing daggy corduroys and a wife-beater white undershirt. Topped off with a farmer's tan and hair all askew, I look like a convincing extra from Trailer Park Boys. And then I go back to the Kraft Dinner bubbling in the pot, turn towards my laptop from where "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield is being spout out without shame, and only wish that my future suitors were around to see me in my moment under the spotlight.
And I feel fine....... - 2004-02-23 |
