meditations from twin peaks
Posted by Roland under: Personal .
Word to the wise, don’t hang out at Twin Peaks late at night.
Anyway, I started this post while I was at Twin Peaks late last night but I quickly realized, my Droid, while amazing, was not set up to handle the way WordPress does things. No worries.
Why would I be up there at 1 AM anyway? As I told Greg, Think of it as the result of many personal embarrassments. Lessons learned!
I only had one real poignant thought yesterday (you may think otherwise).
I was waiting for the BART at Downtown Berkeley and a random female student comes by and sits on the other end of the same bench. I give her a glance, she’s of average cuteness. Honestly, just another one of the mess of Asian girls that seem to populate the student body. Nothing amazing in either end of the spectrum.
I also then realize she’s carrying a pair of boots. Like, in her hands. She’s already wearing sneakers but she has boots also for whatever reason. I’m wondering if she’s bringing them back to the city or something to return them?
Then all of a sudden she starts to take off her sneakers and put on the boots.
And then I figured it out.
She suddenly becomes so much more attractive in my eyes.
But all she did was put on a pair of boots, right?
Of course, I do enjoy boots on girls, but I guess I had never seen one switch from sneakers to boots like that.
How can a girl of relatively low interest suddenly become that much more attractive? I mean, I’m aware that makeup and fashion exist for a reason, but I had never been there for the actual transformation.
It was a little mind blowing to say the least. I had always thought I was better than that. But I guess, this brought me back to reality. I was just affected by all these games as everyone else had been. Was it really that simple for someone to become that much more attractive, if only physically? It was a little scary also.
Nothing else changed about her, but now because she was wearing boots all of a sudden I was interested. That’s all it took? Yikes.
I guess now I’m asking, can I trust myself? Not really sure anymore.
