Being like-minded with those who sought a fitness renaissance in the New Year, I went to a sporting goods store last week and purchased a dorky pair of running shoes. The half-off marking, coupled with the promise of a more efficient and healthy respiratory system, had my head and hopes high. Leaving the store, box of Asics in hand, I passed by a panderer who was making his last pleas before the night set in. It was less empathetic and more in the spirit of karmic rectification that I gave the man a few dollars in spare change. During the rummage I happened upon a pack of Marlboro 27’s in my pocket and, once again being altruistic, opted to donate the rest of my rather full pack to the strip-mall nomad who wanted for so much.
I’ve chosen to live my life by many overarching rules. These include, but are not limited to: Don’t drink caffeine after 8 p.m., avoid tanning at all costs and don’t believe anyone who doesn’t make eye contact. These guidelines, while seemingly disjointed, have all arisen from some specific experience that impacted (or scarred) me enough to turn whatever lesson I learned into a cardinal rule. Yet the most important rule by far is this: “Never trust anyone who was cool in middle school.”
