The Unfortunate Mishaps of My Winter Break Pt.1

I feel happy enough after discovering Polyvore

and being able to technically shop and put together outfits without spending any cash

that I'm about ready to relive all the unfortunate things 

that happened to me over the last couple of weeks

most which ended in paranoia & tears

I usually have the most unbelievable good luck

winning contests, finding money in H&M right when I wanted to buy a new skirt etc etc

so my turn of luck was a real surprise to me

and it all started on that ill fated day I was wearing my lucky underwear 

and broke my favorite booties

I just got them fixed yesterday, and I didn't even feel any better

my bad luck was just amplified over winter break

all starting a couple of weeks ago on my way to ice skate

I was so pumped,pumped for a day of free ice skating 

at Bryant Parkand trying a new Jamba light smoothie,the Berry Fulfilling one

too bad it didn't have a name associated with Buddhism

like Strawberry Nirvana & Mango Mantra

especially when I have been collecting such good karma,

like finding a kid's cell phone on St. Marks & 

calling his mom and going to his school to return it

he was a 6th grader, that really touched my heart

I held his shiny new Nokia in my hand and 

I was on a mission to restore happiness to his young heart

for I remembered when I was in the 6th grade and I got my first cell phone

a pretty decent silver LG flip phone

all black and white, no camera, nothing special

I still had the nicest phone of all my friends anyhow, I was successful in returning the phone

and it warmed my heart when the boy's mother fervently asked God to bless me

so I felt great, like a good Samaritan full of good deeds and oncoming good luck

so to my suprise & sadness as I stood in the 14th St. station waiting for

my beloved F train, peering into the dark tunnel for any sign of an oncoming train

it seemed like the perfect photo op

so I swiftly took out my camera and stepped back from

the scary edge of the platform

oddly my memory card was full

although I had just deleted all the pictures off of it 

curious I opened my camera, stepped back from the edge of the platform and 

pressed the memory card so that it would pop out a bit and I could grab it

yet, to my surprise the memory card not only popped out...

but literally jumped out of the camera and hopped right into the subway tracks

then a rat came by, and I just hoped it would pick up my memory card and gnaw at it 

so I could just really cry

I still went uptown, after waiting around for an MIA MTA employee to find my card

yea right, that was never going to happen

then in Jamba Juice they served me hard oatmeal

I refused to go ice skating for fear I would fall and someone would roll over each one of my small fingers 

with the shiny blade of their skate, 

resulting in a bloody rink and a maimed me.
