now i know how arnold feels
The other day I decided to get my car washed and waxed. Before going home, I made a quick stop at the convenient store and got a little tickled with the 40-something man in the car next to me admiring the newly washed and waxed black on black muscle car. He was trying to be cool - but I knew he was looking.
As I walked into the store there was a 50-something man walking out who said the obligatory hello - cause that's what African-American men do when they see an African-American woman. Anyway, I get my stuff and go back to the car. I get real tickled as both the 40 and 50-something men are gawking at the car so much so that the 40-something man rolls his window down to say "nice car". The 50-something then gives me a "thumbs up". I simply laugh and put the key in the ignition.
Then it hits me! They were looking, gawking, fantasizing, and drooling at the 
mouth about the car! Not me! But the car. Damn! There was a time when they would have been looking at me with such wishful eyes. Upstaged by a car. All I can do is shake my head and yes even laugh out loud as I thought about this video I saw a few months ago.
Obliged to you for hearing me,
and now old SjP ain't got nothin' more to say...
