Almost every day i take the scenic route to work, and everyday without fail that I do so, there are tired, grumpy looking business people, students, travellers and weird people who just like to catch trains and buses to work lol
Its depressing enough to have stinky weather, and feel like you cant get out and do anything "outdoorzy" coz the heavens have opened with liquid sunshine, and tawhirimatea has let loose with the winds, and just when you look for that glimpse of sunshine, or bluesky, or maybe just maybe a hint of warmth your train arrives GUTTED
I take the dreaded step on to the not yet filled sardine can, and its funny I smile at someone, and they look at me like "How dare you be smiling at this hour of the morning" anyways after I smile at a few people and get the same response, I try 1 more time but this time I give a friendly smile to that cute guy whose dressed nicely every morning (hez gotta have a great mom, or a hardworking partner) and just seems to put a smile on ya face coz hez so cute and... sorry just about entered a dream of naughtiness lol - so I smile at him, and I never tire of the response, i'll try and explain it (shame im smiling just thinking about it, not him the smile let me make that clear)
he's walking to his spot in the sardine can, and looks across, i throw out my last hope for a smile in return, my prayers are answered, he smiles back, lowers his head just a bit and then I see his eyes look back at me and smile again MY WORK HERE IS DONE lol
So, 4:1 and yet I feel like I've won, I'm listening to my ipod day dreaming out the window about a zillion things, winning lotto, winning big Wednesday, winning them both, whats for lunch? ... oh yeah anyway, I get back to thinking about my smiles (or lack thereof) and I wonder if good wholesome relationships start with random strangers making an effort to do something as little as smiling at each other, that thought carries me into a world of weirdness, I think about this cute guy, and play out in my mind how it would work right from the smile to the first date and then reality kicks in, in the form of my very best friend, shes so beautiful, you cant help but love her, shes an amazing lil lady - anyways shes my reality in my daydream world of cute guy vs random smiley chik - ya see i dont often see what may be attached to people you know like ... girlfriends, momz dadz children, Wifeyz and so on and so forth and so fifth - so once my besty comes into my merry day dream, I just bust out laughing and at that very moment I realise where I am, on the sardine express to work and blasting in my ear more often then not is Beyonc'es EGO so that pretty much explains the look on the other sardines looking at me with tone voice "what the hell lady I was trying to ..." do what ever keeps them from smiling and I end up asking myself "what are you thinking?
Innocent smiles - not with me, trust me lol
