One of my life's indulgences comes from the many hidden treasures I find outside my office every now and then.
From the tattered Cosby sweaters we find wrapped around our front gate to a mailbox full of flyers addressed to 'Robocop' (the tenant before us was a production studio that filmed the old Robocop TV series), the word "random" doesn't even do these delightful wonders justice. Despite these bizarre findings, nothing could prepare me for what I discovered lying by our door this morning: a half full jar of dill fucking pickles. Undoubtably, I was more than a little confused. While such an incident would leave most people asking themselves the 'who, what, when, where and why', here are my main concerns: -When did a jarful of pickles become a popular recreational snack? -If said item was truly delicious and snack-worthy, why would the owner merely eat a few of them, then abandon them by the doorway of a stranger's home? -Am I to believe that this is, in fact, a gift from some kind of revolutionary snack crusader? -And finally, would it be impolite to reject this supposed gift and not try at least one of these allegedly delicious pickles? Well before I set off your gag reflex, I assure you that I did not help myself to a pickle. Instead, I merely moved them to the side of the door where they shall remain as a vivid reminder to my co-workers and I about this alarming new emergence of snack discrimination. I urge you all to never reject a delicious pickle if one is ever offered your way.

All about me
I am an eccentric extrovert commonly disguised as a mild- mannered introvert.
I am passionate about writing, music, art and film. I find beauty in seemingly trivial occurances. A simple plastic bag spiraling in a wind tunnel is utterly breathtaking...actually no, it's just a f**king bag. I am at my happiest when I am surrounded by good people, good music and rambunctious circus midgets. I am of a dying breed of optimists, trying to survive in the midst of escalating cynicism. In other words, I'm just your average Korean-Canadian journalist music geek. |
