Sunday was a pretty awful day. I had to make one of those big questionable, life-changing decisions. I made it and ... I felt shitty. So I was doing the "I feel shitty" walk, which consists of me walking and walking and walking until I feel better (or get hungry).
I was walking in the hope that something would come along and cheer me up, and Montreal, you did not disappoint!
I was on Rue Saint Laurent, one of the hip-happenen streets in Montreal, and I hear this dance music. I'm tempted to call it techno, but I'm not sure. Whatever it was, it was rock'n stuff and I liked it. I looked around to see what bar the music was coming from and, to my surprise, I saw that it was coming from a bike! This bike was totally tricked out. It was covered in lights and on the back there was a fancy speaker blasting out tunes.
The best part about it all was that the bike was not being ridden by some hipster kid – no - it was controlled by a very normal looking, older gentleman. Grinning from ear to ear, he just drifted up and down the street, sharing his love of techno to the world.
I felt better.
It reminded me of this guy I occasionally see when I walk to school. He's a tough looking kid with a stereo backpack that pumps out rap music. Whenever I'm behind him, I can't help but to fantasize about sneaking some Jewel music onto his playlist. Perhaps a little Sarah McLaughlin.
This post is getting long, but I just want to say that I'm super excited because I got my very first comment! Thank you, Bryce, for making my day. I do have a few thoughts on that issue and I will respond! Maybe even tomorrow (if I can finish my school essay...sigh...).
