picked daily, packed fresh

October 7th, 2003 by

We strolled through the many shiny aisles of the new grocery store at the odd 2am hour. Compelled to buy items, we decided on:
 + Crest Fresh Citrus Toothpaste
 + Advil painkiller
 + Morning Star organic breakfast and pocket sandwich

We get back in the car, laughing out loud in the empty parking lot with the few carefree employees puffing their poison. And he opens his Advil bottle.
Me: “Wait, what are you doing?”
Him: “Making sure they’re fresh.”
And pops in one or two.
Him: “See, fresh pills should work better since they’re, well, fresh. Or so I tell myself; it’s very complicated you see.”

And I sit there, on the cold black leather, wondering how fresh my pills are.

    In my world, I reign a life normal comprehensible rational.

    You guys on the other hand are absolutely nuts insane radical, with a hint of oregano.

    just a hint. not a pinch, not a punch, nor a handful.

    nay.

    Forget oregano. As my dad would tell you, it’s all about fresh basil from his garden.

    I think we’re forgetting the point of this post:
    how cold exactly was that black leather?

    Leave it to a bunch of Muslim dudes on a twilight spree to go and buy toothpaste and organic breakfasts.

    The only consolation:

    it was CITRUS toothpaste.

    JP wants me to correct you folks that he’s not muslim. He’s busy right now, web designing like a monkey on a banana high.

    The leather adnan was cold. It was cold and my khaki pants did little to steer away its cold veneer sneer.

    As for the toothpaste, this is dayTwo of its use. So far, it seems effective though it does taste a little bubble gummish…
