Perhaps an evening when I should have just stayed home.
Venturing downtown, I found irritation at damn near everything.
Red lights. Street crossing lights taking their sweet time turning to go. 7:27pm and a Saturday night, thirty-minute parking spot, the ordinance still in effect until 8:00pm. People parking next to me. People on the sidewalks walking towards me, or rounding corners, stepping into my desired, and in my eyes and estimation, my rightful path. Closed record store. Closed bookstore. My reflection in a window. One-way streets. A setting sun that was way too bright and seemingly no matter which way I turned, in my eyes.
For tonight, I am the stereotypical, grouchy old man. I've never been an extrovert and tonight took further steps in the direction of anti-social. That said while laughing at/to myself in case someone thinks I'm too f'ing serious.
