It's Saturday morning and you know what that means, Street from my apartment complex. The little joints at been going to the last year or so usually with a friend of mine from upstairs but she's elected not to go anymore so it's just me. I just go and sit with my coffee and just watch the other patrons. I must look pathetic but that's okay I don't really mind about that. What's important for me, especially in the sense of the last couple of posts to the blog, is the fact that I'm out of my office or out of my apartment and I'm out hanging out in associated with other folks even if I'm not really intermingling with them socially I'm still there and not here. Today I did this game that I play sometimes when I'm out sitting in a group of people by myself. I like to just sit there and listen to their conversations. Many times I remember what they said later when I'm trying to write dialogue. I know it sounds weird but it's great to hear just people talking and producing great and authentic dialogue. I think I probably spent around 90 minutes this morning at the coffee shop, sitting by myself and just plain listening. The couple I was listening to this morning I don't think that ever met before and I don't know how they met except for they kind of recognized each other when they sat down- - like they somehow recognized each other in that shocked kind of way when you meet someone for the first time but the obviously had been in contact one or the other. The guy seemed a little bit younger than the woman. He was either Hispanic or some other somewhat darker and complexion but his hair was neat and trimmed he was dressed nice. She was quite interesting relatively attractive but I really enjoyed this that she was wearing bib overalls there's something about a woman wearing bib over alls that's kind of a turn on don't know why but it is. They talked the entire time that I was there fairly automated mostly he did the talking she listened and listened very well but she also engaged off and on.
I was pleasantly surprised when a group of relatively attractive people walked in mainly women. I hadn't seen them in before and they were dressed nicer than usual but that's not a big deal. One actually stopped at my table asked my name then told me hers and then went off at the others and sat down I thought this was weird and I felt my sensors go up you know like “Shields up” but I didn't really pay much attention. About 10 minutes later however the same woman came up and asked if I had access to a computer, oddly enough I didn't pack my cell phone with me today which is kind of weird. When I asked her if she wanted me to have a computer and write this second she said no just the did I have access to one and of course I said yes. Then she produced a card and I glassed at the card first and then she started this spiel about was I happy and did I feel okay in my life and then I noticed the card that she was trying to Pawn off on me at JW in the corner and then she identify yourself as a member of the Jehovah Witnesses. It's been a long time since I've been bushwacked by J doves. I was pleasant however told her I wasn't interested and she didn't press the issue but I really thought the experience was weird especially for a Saturday morning at my coffee shop…
