It’s something you never thought you would see, one of those truly magical moments in your life that will forever change the way you see the world. It is the monkey riding a unicorn over a double rainbow moment that may never be repeated. A sight so fantastical your mind can not grasp its reality and you fear that people will not believe your mystical tale of wonderment. There are a few people that will find themselves in this position and decide that the foreseeable ridicule is far outweighed by the hope of shared enlightenment…and it just so happens that I am one of those people and if you read on you will join me in an adventure of epic proportions.
I would ask you to close your eyes, but you wouldn’t be able to read the following. So just squint a little so that the words are fuzzy but you can still read them, but it is almost like you have your eyes closed. Or option two, close one eye completely leaving the second eye open to read on. (Note: I do not believe the allure of this story will be dampened in any way whether you decide to keep both eyes totally open or try one of the above mentioned ocular tricks. Furthermore if you decide on option two, I think the ecstasy will be the same if you do right eye open left eye closed as if you try right eye closed left eye open.)
It was a Monday morning in Chicago, the sight was fleeting but clear. A man, maybe in his late twenties, walked by my building on his way to the train wearing white Nike tennis shoes, grey pleated slacks, black leather woven belt, white short sleeved button down and a yellow and brown stripped tie. If it wasn’t for his Jansport book bag I might assume that Halloween came early, but this gentleman had no desire to bring enjoyment and laughter to the world through playful irony. Instead what he did, and by accident none the less, was change the very fabric of professional attire till the end of time.
