I had just finished my weekly gig at the Metro Deli and had made it to my cozy little apartment when I decide to walk 2 blocks over to the mailbox around the corner. With packages in hand and tacky clothes on, I was now wishing I had driven my car. The heat was so harsh on my back and skin then I was mentally kicking myself in the butt for walking. Oh well. I decided to just get through the task and get back to the cool air in my home.
As I walked down my street I was thinking of how many elderly people lived on my street and how no one is really connected the way they should be in a neighborhood. No cook outs, no block parties or anything. They are good about bitching when you are in "Their" parking space but no one is embracing each other. But whatever. That's another story.
Then in an instance my day was taken to a new level. Someone who I have never met before in my life was blaring a familiar sound. A sound that I have heard before...I thought for a sec, "I think I own this record"..(GASP).. Wait thats me!!!
Some one on my street was playing "Indulge" off of my record Soul Catcher. They were blaring it so loud that I could hear it as a walked by. WOW! I just stood there for a second and starting crying. I wanted to go to the door and say "Hey", but maybe this person would wig out and call the cops or something. Maybe they had burned the cd from a friend and didn't know what I looked like. Maybe they would act like a fanatic fan and jump up and down and stalk me for the rest of my days. They wouldn't have to go too far to stalk me thats for sure.. Maybe....I don't know! I know that its good enough to make my day anytime! I guess some of us on this street have something in common! :)
