I'm writing this entry from bed. Which is where I have been turning into before the sun is even down for the past couple of days. The dreaded seasonal bug is trying to bring me down, but I am not about to let that happen, people!
I digress.
On my way home from work today, I saw a man riding his bicycle on the sidewalk. However, he was unlike other bicyclists that you see on the daily. This man was clearly rapping. (Yes, please take a second to make a mental picture of this). I gathered this from his hand gestures and moving mouth that occasionally let up when there was a break in lyrics.
Not just did his impressive bicycling-while-rapping techniques set him apart from other two-wheeled riders. This man possessed something far more special.
The power of content.
He was the true definition of a multitasker. He was bicycling, rapping, DJ'ing, smiling and making my day a little brighter. For the few seconds that I waited at the stoplight and watched as he rode past, this man's display of contagious happiness and freedom inspired me. He was in his own world. And he didn't give a damn what anyone else thought (and trust me, he had an audience).
So, I ask: Why can't we all be like this man? Why can't we all be in our own world?
