Eventually It All Comes Full Circle
(Zero 7 - In The Waiting Line)

I made a miniature tree out of grape stems and play-doh on Friday. I decorated it with tacks and paper clips. Today I came into the office and the stem had wilted and was sagging in its play-doh pot. I’ve never been able to nurse plants. Any plants I’ve ever had in my care have wilted and died. Back in elementary school when we would plant seeds for science class and tracked their progression over the weeks, my plant would always be the slowest to grow and the first one to die. I don’t have much of a green thumb. I can’t even keep a fake miniature tree alive.

I got my new retro Reebok hats last week and I decided to wear it all weekend while I played poker at the CNE casino. I now remember why I don’t wear hats too often. My forehead is breaking out like a pubescent teen who loves chocolate. I did however win at poker so I guess I can afford to buy some acne cream.

I’m finding it hard to carry my pda, digital camera, cell phone, iPod and wallet everywhere I go these days. I might soon have to join the messenger bag clique. For awhile I just stuffed everything in my pockets so I looked like the kid after Halloween that would stuff his pockets full of candy before he went to school. And every now and then I have my cell phone in my pocket and I know people want to crack the, “Is that a cell phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” joke. To which I’ve got the, “I’m happy to see you, my penis just happens to be shaped like a cell phone. LONG distance calls only.” reply ready. That reply was funnier in my head.
