Mismatched Shoes

 Last night was a long night for me. I stayed up quite late listening to music and having beer. Why not? After all, music sounds better with beer. So that's what I did.

At some point I went to bed to lay down and I fell asleep. I don't remember much other than I woke up around four-thirty in the afternoon. I got up and went out for some food. For a while I couldn't decide what to go for. I thought about fish and chips. There's a place out in east Oakland where I can get that. I thought about it but decided that it was too far. I also thought about a Reuben sandwich with fries but decided against it because the place where I can get the sandwich is also too far. In fact, it's at the same location as the fish and chips location.

 

So after pondering it for a while I decided to go to a local establishment that specializes in sausages. It's a place with its roots in Berkeley, CA, USA. Its original spot is still there. Just a block down Telegraph Ave from UC Berkeley. It now has a spot on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland, CA, USA. I went there and ordered a top dog and a bockwurst.

I just knew that the two sausages weren't going to be enough so I immediately set plans for pizza. I decided to take a long drive to Berkeley. There's a pizzeria that has been there for many decades. It used to have a competitor down the street, Fat Slice. But Fat Slice closed a couple of years ago. So now it's just Blondie's. I got there and ordered a pepperoni.

As I sat there and ate my pizza slice I was still feeling a slight hang-over from the night before, so I decided to walk down the street to another long time establishment. It's a local pub with a good beer list.

I arrived and took a seat at the bar. I ordered a beer and enjoyed the ambiance. I ordered a second one and then a third. Half way through my third one I looked down and saw my shoes. I realized I had put on mismatched shoes. WTF!? It must've been a long night, huh?

For a moment I felt stupid. Then I saw the silliness in it. Hey, shit happens. I just sat there in complete amusement. Wow! I've never did that before. Sure I have mismatched my socks a couple of times before. But the shoes? 

I'm still laughing.

I had to tell the bartender. At one moment when she came to me I said "I'm gonna have to go home. Do you know what I did?" 

"What did you do," she asked.

I showed her. "I have two different shoes on."

We both got a laugh out of it.

After finishing my beer I got up and left the place. I'm just glad that it was night time, rainy, and not many people were out. As far as I was concerned, as long as I got home soon no one would ever know. Except the bartender and you reading this post.

As I sat there, this beautiful piece was being played. Enjoy it. It's so soothing and relaxing. So dreamy.
