Perhaps it will be too revealing of a snapshot of my inner chi to admit, but there are certain places where my self confidence takes a little dip on the "feeling cool"- o-meter. And sitting alone in the Wal-mart MacDonalds close to midnight is one of those times. I had to buy some milk before tomorrow got here, and I was hungry after scuba class... I bought the milk first, two gallons, put them in bags and grabbed a combo meal. I took my coat off, because eating in your coat is just annoying. So I'm sitting there wearing a baseball cap to hide my pool hair, kind of schlumped in my seat because class kicked all of our butts tonight, with my coat wadded up on top of a couple of grocery bags. I had to look homeless. I could have put a cup out and I'm sure someone would have given me a quarter or two to ease my suffering. I should have put a brown paper bag around my pop.
Sitting there munching on my fries i was able to see some teen girls caught shoplifting, some punks, some soccer moms, some 8 foot tall guy buying salt for the ice, a guy wearing camo pants and a parka who looked more homeless than i did, but was talking into a bluetooth, and Zoro. Now I'm not trying to be clever and say that the guy made poor fashion choices.. I mean it was Zoro. He had Thigh high leather boots, tight black pants, a loose black shirt that was belted at the waist, a black bandana around his head and hair, and a mask. But there was no sword... maybe there's a safety policy at Walmart that precludes swash-buckling. He walked in with long strides and a purpose. I'm sure there are plenty of times when costumes are just easier to stay in while we run an errand or two... but the mask? You couldn't leave the mask on the passenger seat for a minute? What I find truly fascinating is that he eventually left, just as purposefully; without making a purchase. Was there a damsel in distress in housewares? Was someone being taken advantage of next to the pre-packaged salads? Apparently he was able to get it all sorted out in the time it took me to eat a #8.
