last weekend i was at the theater watching matrix revolutions. it was one of those stadium seating theaters where the chairs rock back and forth. the seat in front of me was empty, so i had my foot up on it and was rocking it while watching the movie. about halfway through the show, my friend leans over and tells me "hey, there's a little kid sitting in that seat." i didn't know! i thought it was empty. i couldn't see his head. poor kid.
then this weekend, we went shopping. we were at a shoe store on robson and i'm sitting down on the benches where you sit to try on shoes. my friend is standing, leaning down to fasten the velcro straps on these really ugly red shoes that he's trying on. so i say to him "what the hell are you going skiing or something?" cause they look like ski boots. he looks up and its not him. it's some other guy who was also wearing jeans and a black jacket. i started laughing "sorry, thought you were someone else" and got the hell out of there. i don't think he bought the shoes.
hey, at least the kid will now remember you as 'the rocking man' forever.
