Unchartered Territory

This morning I had to give six people a ride. I took my sisters car because hers has more room. It was raining and it was cold. I ran out of the house with just the key. As I pulled up to the first house, I gave the horn a honk. Nothing sounded, I did it again, nothing. I pounded the steering wheel, nothing. Are you freaking kidding me?? I thought. Who has a horn that doesnt work. I was doomed and sweatshirtless. I had to go up to every single door and ring the bell. The day had just begun and already I was screwed. Hi is omen there? Why me? Why does stuff like this ALWAYS happen to me? Whatever. As I was driving home I put her cd player on and there was not ONE song I knew on this disc. How is that even possible? I know a lot of music and this disc had not ONE song I knew. Music is a big deal to me so I sorted through her cds, I was appalled when I saw Beyonce in the selection and in a rage I slammed the hump shut. I had to listen to the radio?? Why is it that every station has people blabbing about nonsense in the AM. I just wanted a decent tune. I settled on Sheryl Crows STRONG ENOUGH on 102.7. Fine, ill take it. As she was singing it dawned on me, poor girl is singing about a man being strong enough to be her man, she sings, 'lie to me, but please dont leave... me....' Turns out Lance Armstrong wasnt strong enough to be her man and left her. Sad day. So much for songs having validity and wishful thinking. I went into foodtown to get a few groceries because what the hell its 9 in the morning and im soaking wet. As i was checking out I heard Pete Bjorn and John's YOUNG FOLK playing. I used to have it as a ring tone so I checked my phone even though I knew it wasnt possible. I was impressed that anyone else in Jersey would have this ringtone let alone in foodtown. I surveyed the lines and no one was picking up their phone. The tune carried on.. It then dawned on me, HOLY SHIT, its playing in the supermarket. WOW. Once 80 year old women are bopping along to the song while comparing the price of Charmin brand toilet paper to the sand paper Foodtown brand its fair to say this song is Done. Cooked. Toast. As I was driving home, Marc Conh's WALKING IN MEMPHIS came on. Today wasnt going to be all that bad after all.
