Blogsploitation!


Recently I had felt a little down and out about my writing. Perhaps its because I was plagued with many circumstances that segregated myself from the duplicity of humanity and creativity. Alas, I feel reinvigorated and capable of expressing my true experiences.


Today was definitely a wild experience to which I can only say that I happened upon as a result of a non-sensical walk through Providence on yet another beautiful day. My typical break time (where applicable) consists of a walk from my office to the end of South Water. Today I decided to make my stroll a bit more challenging and hike upwards to Benefit. Now mind you my recent aerobic activity has been extensive...mat pilates 5 days a week, bosu and then the gym. I assumed nothing particular was looking different other than the casual number dropping scale. However today I was praised by the oddest of situations. Daily I have noticed a bike riding male along my travels but feeling that he was in his own world not noticing me would be the typical resultant blend. As I walked down the riverwalk "the bike guy" was resting aside watching the glorious ebb and flow of the river. I passed him unassuming and kept my aggressive walk going. For a distance as I made my way up Benefit I heard what sounded to me like a whistle and some clicking noises. Having my POD on I thought it was just the wind in between my ears and the headphones...but I was incorrect. I turned onto College hill to make my descent and as I did I heard.....PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!! As I stopped and looked behind it was "the bike guy!" I stopped almost out of breath and he jumped off the bike. I surmised he stopped me because I had gum on my trousers or a bird dropping and all other nonsensical ideas of that nature and again "me wrong!"


He asked me to stop for other reasons. He notified me in the most compelling way to tell me that he sees me walk daily and that I was "positively the most beautiful girl he had ever seen!" I was aghast as this was something I was impressed to hear thinking of all the hard work I apply just being me and here I was beet red and moist with sweat. He declared, "for the past week I have seen you twice walking and I make my way here today in the hopes that I can get to know you better because you have an amazing disposition and I know that you are someone that NEED to get to know better!"


I was floored. Standing on College hill in a business suit (yah I don't change so don't visit me in the afternoon, ok) with my sneaks on POD in tow etc and this guy is telling me the most flattering things.....and I was not having the most inspirational day. As I observed him closer I noticed he was very handsome. So, I asked him what he does in the city every day on his bike. He told me he is an attorney and he bikes to and fro on his lunch. He...works in MY BUILDING! Where was this guy every other day? I knew the bike looked familiar! Its chained up next to the building every morning(this is what I notice people....boring me eh?). So he followed me up hills and down and then walked me back to my office. "The bike guy" has a name...its Brett...how cliche...and attorney named Brett. So obviously he knows where I work now.....and as a result I had to break the bad news that I was "emotionally unavailable" because that statement seems to fly around like pollen nowadays but as new friend would see him around. So perhaps in a chance encounter in the elevator.....hahahaha just kidding!


Later on in the day I was a little full of myself and when I went to pilates I expected my ego to deflate just a bit (seeing as I tend to be a little off in that realm lately as well). Ana was as brutal as always. Naturally she made me attempt several insane feats that I usually fail miserably at unlike other days however I mastered. Oh yes for those of you who know....I mastered the Arabesque! Check it out above! I rock. The ego is reinflated with the hopes that tomorrow I will not be in tractionable pain!
