Room Temperature Is Key...

Today as I was dropping you off to your Nursery, I bumped into the blonde lady that I always seem to bump into everywhere I go. Unfortunately, I got the same internal reaction of rolling my eyes. I even remembered the words of a song that I recently heard which I loved "You're gonna catch a cold from the ice in your soul." The woman is so cold. She's like robotic! Of course another sentence from another movie comes to mind too "You could freeze ice on her ass!"

I had to question myself. Why the hell did she bug me so much? Having been raised to be sociable, warm and friendly, I find myself so irritated by the likes of this woman. According to the self development books, I should look inside myself to discover the truth hidden behind my irritability. The analysis could possibly be that I'm jealous of her lack of awareness and coldness to those around her. Could I secretly wish to be like her?!

Sometimes being too warm and friendly can have it's set backs. Upon bumping into someone and being excited to see them only to find them so absorbed into their own world that they don't give you the same reaction causes me to feel snubbed and wanting to beat myself up for being too nice. I go into my own world trying to figure out why that chick wasn't as nice as she was before. Could I have done something to piss her off? Needless to say, the whole over analysis isn't pleasant and had I been calm and collected when I saw that acquaintance, I might not have cared much to her reaction but damn it I did!

Sadly in a world whereby somebody always wants something from someone, I actually heard someone say "maybe they think you want something from them" which leads me to another aggravation. Even if I did actually want something, what kind of lousy acquaintance is that! They're being cold 'coz they don't want to do you a favor! Yeesh! In my opinion it serves that I drop that acquaintance like a hot potato...who needs acquaintances like that anyway!

In the end, I will have to face this blonde chick everyday at the Nursery for the next two years since she drops her kids too.

With that said, and since moderation in life is key...I will attempt to block her from my mind while understanding the fact that being over friendly can be exhausting and learning the art of freezing ice on one's ass may lower the temperature of my warmth and VOILA......Room temperature is born!
