Maybe if I put down more than $4 bucks on an umbrella, maybe, just maybe I won’t lose it. I lost it. So I put down $15 on this super-cool, well, the super coolest small umbrella you can get at WalGreens. I’ve only used it once since I got it. I normally don’t use umbrellas. For the past two decades, I just kind of roll with it; if I’m wet, I’m wet. Well, being a working dude, showing up to work drenched just isn’t presentable (or is it?)
Well, in just two weeks, my dumbass manages to lose $20 worth of umbrellas. They’re so foreign to me. I habitually grab my ass and upper thighs to check for my wallet, muni pass, keys, usb stick, chapstick, pens and a couple of Altoids. My journal is another thing I always have with me (but not on me). But an umbrella, no matter how small it is, it just doesn’t fly with me.
They should make disposable umbrellas for me. That’s the quick solution. But it’s not green and it shouldn’t wither in the rain. Damn umbrellas and they’re stupid shape. Damn me for never making it a habit to use one.
