i just kinda took myself on a date

now
i really thought i was a cheap date
but, damn, i really better put out after that

i just had
what has to be
the most expensive deli meal, ever
and, if it's not, i don't wanna know

i thought i was ordering a la carte
but
apparently not
and
a bottle of he'brew is five something, really
i didn't ask
and they didn't tell
[ GENESIS DRY HOPPED SESSION ALE ]

but
it was awesome


i have had lox, and
i like them, they're fine
but i never got all excited about them
probably they weren't very good lox, anyway
but recently i read or saw a documentary about, or something
that you weren't really having lox unless you were having belly lox

so i got the sour cherry soup
which, really
i coulda skipped
shoulda got borscht
i got a poppy seed bagel
with cream cheese and belly lox

i don't quite feel i can believably pull of an oy gevalt
but, like seriously, belly lox is my new favorite food

and the cheesecake
was totally worth the 8.95 i didn't realize it was
it was like milchig heaven this meal

so then
the night was still young
i walked myself down to the DSW
maybe just to look
but
maybe to get some better shoes
because
i have pretty much resolved
to start walking home from work
it's only a little over two miles
i figure i can't really walk to work
because i'd be all sweaty and yuck
and then i do a lot of lifting and toting and running back and forth
when i'm at work
so i don't want to be tired before i start

when i get off work
my feet usually already hurt
and i'm exhausted
but
i actually think the walk would energize me
more than traffic, anyway
i just need better shoes

so
between walking to the bus and from the bus
and walking home
i'd get an extra, i don't know
three miles, give or take


the DSW was a shocker
why is everything a flat or a stripper shoe
there wasn't even anything tempting except sports shoes
in the whole frikkin place--  yuck

i tried on some rykas
and they were comfy
then i tried on some mizunos and they were electric
it's like they were pulling energy from the earth's core
and shoving it into my body through the soles of my feet

they didn't seem quite right though
i kept kinda tripping on my feet
i think they were correcting for something
something maybe i didn't need corrected
they were wave nirvanas
then i tried wave creation
i didn't want to take them off even to buy them
but i did
they gotta check to make sure they're the same size and whatnot

i am so happy

i don't even care if i put out
