Yesterday, i had a shitty day at work; and although this might sound like the usual nag nag nag blog entry some might expect, i can safely assure you it is not. Just hear me out.
As i said, yesterday i had a shitty day at work. It was crazy, calling people, bosses around having meetings, shit rolling downhill, and over all being a good corporate monkey and dancing to the beat of the drum as the overseer pounded on the human skin drums: the usual at work really.
By the moment i got outta work at 6 pm i was in such a shitty mood that it showed. Some of my coworkers asked me if i was O.K. and all that… and as i dismissed their concern offhandedly i walked out and plugged into my iPod… and got cleansed by the music. Got on a bus and rode it all the way down Via Espana, got off at my stop and took a nice summer walk to a friend’s house. From there we walked to the nearby Park, and after enjoying a really nice and quite Panamanian RASPAO -.5 cent Napa and all!- we sat down by a really “Narniescan” light post and had a mini impromptu photo-shoot. That yielded nice results, taking into consideration that i had not used her camera before and i was just playing with it, learning how to use it. A little while later, we walked away… y’see, we had tickets to a Tribal Belly Dance show called BRICOLAGE, organized and all that, as far as i know/understand, byt my old friend Nadia Denov. As we walked down towards the theatre, there was a couple hanging out at one of the little cafe’s that lined up our way, and upon further inspection i noticed she was cutting up a Mario Bros. Power-up Star. I stopped on my tracks, smiled and walked back up to them and said:
Me: “Hey… just wanted to say… THAT (pointing to the star) is freaking cool!” <-I might or might not have given ‘em a metal horn as an added bonus.
Her: “Huh?”
Me: “The Star Man! Way cool.”
Her: “Oh! Yeah!” -She smiled. “I am pasting them around!”
Him: “Yeah man… around!” <-Dude must’ve been stoned outta his mind, all he did was stare and smile.
Me: “Oh… kewl. You got any more?” (Don’t even know why i asked!)
Her: “Sure… here!” -She hands me 2 Star Mans (Star MEN?)
Me: ”HELL YEAHZ! Thank you!”
Them: “Cool, man!”
By now my friend was just smiling at the whole interaction, and a little dumbfounded cause i just stopped to talk to random strangers and scored a pair of Star Power ups. Picture me walking down the road with a HUGE silly GRIN on my stupid face. 
We got to the theater and saw the saw the show, which was quite good. Most dances were really good, and as my friend popped out her cam and started snapping pics, i took out my sketchbook and started doodling away, noticing the perennial S shaped movements and lines of action. I was quite surprise when in the middle of the show, Ms. Denov starts doing her thing to the rhythm of none other than the Mario Bros Theme, but as i realized it was the SMB theme it morphed into a SALSA version of the same. I was laughing out loud (’cause i don’t wanna say i LOL’ed, that is stupid and retarded in SO many ways) and my friend was grinning by my side.
After the show we said good by to the dancers, after congratulating them and walked out the door and ended up in a really KEWL and laid back little restaurant i like. We had some Kick Ass Chai Tea, some Puerto Rican entrees, and a really tasty chicken sandwich -with tomato and pesto! Nom nom nom!
Dinner was nice, and conversation was even better! Cloud 9 was a detail, right next to where i was. Time flew by, as it tends to do when you are having fun, and we wrapped it up, and i walked her home; said good night and walked back home myself with the BIGGEST and MOST STUPID SILLY GRIN on my face. It had been quite a while since i had one of those.
Saw the last episode of the Big Bang Theory, and passed out on my bed, silly grin still there.
Yesterday, i had a shitty day; but my night was FUCKING amazing. How was your day yesterday? What did you do last night?
