Sitting at the bus stop, I watched the cars cruise down Jewell. I saw the crew-neck working men in their pickups, the slick-bob middle aged women on their way to Walgreens, and I saw sleepy-eyed teens in slight danger of nodding off, haha. But after a few handfulls of vehicles had passed, I failed to see anybody singing, bopping, laughing, or even smiling. And here I was, reclined on a bus bench, BELTING out "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" like I was in a limosine.
And it occured to me, where do you have to be in life to have the right to act shamelessly happy? Is it rude to be happier than someone richer, betterlooking or smarter than you? I'm done with waiting to be happy, waiting untill I'm X weight, I have X income or I have X degrees. If you don't want to sing, I'll do it for you.
