I often check out the Craigs List "missed connections" section. It's some of the most entertaining slice of life reading one can get anywhere. I really enjoy seeing what people think is a "connection" they made. You've got the patently absurd connection when one person will write "I saw you passing me on the highway and we caught eyes. Was I the only one who felt something?" You've got the missed opportunity writers who put up such posts as, "We talked at the bar and I never got your name and number." You've got people who are lonely, longing to tell someone else they love them, but can't, others that are just shooting in the dark to co-workers, teachers, or friends in the hopes they can stay anonymous and hit a bullseye of love.
Then you have the cream of the crop... at least in terms of entertainment.
The most recent post I saw was absurd, endearing, and a sign of a head-on collision, Amy Winehouse type affair. I trust all of you, dear readers, will agree with me after reading this:
sky at the annex - w4m (baltimore)
your name is tattooed on my body. you bought me a 40 but yours broke then we danced. my friend choked you. hopefully we can get over that little bump in the road.
wish i would have got your number, get drunk , dance, and listen to amazing music again?
Oh, where do I begin with the questions? Why is his name tattooed on her body? What kind of a "club" sells 40s? Was it a club or were they just dancing in the middle of the street? Why did her friend choke him? Who considers a choking a "bump in the road?"
Ah sweet mystery of life!
