Breakfast Muffin Lady

The Mass Pike is the bane of my existence. As I leave my apartment every morning the question arises do I take the Pike and risk being trapped on it for over an hour, or do I embark on a journey through the back roads of Wellesley and Newton where I become disgustingly envious of the massive estates while looking for my opportunity to run over a house wife on her morning jog,with her baby in a power stroller,that does not have to truck her ass to work like I do......(bitch).

Anyways.. today I choose wrong, because today I chose the pike. Already pissed off that I was on my way to a job I hate I became infuriated when my speedometer hit zero and remained there for multiple minutes. To calm myself I looked over at my fellow mass-hole commuters and there she was... the most amazing women I have ever seen... a woman who was balancing a breakfast muffin on her chest and eating it with no hands. Why was this lady eating directly off of her large chest....it was a matter of utilizing all of her resources. Her left hand was occupied with a ciggy and her right hand with the cellie and she would be GOD DAMNED if she was to go with out her breakfast muffin this morning. There was a beautiful harmony going on in that car that no orchestra could match: one sentence on the phone, one puff of the cigarette and then one healthy bite of the breakfast muffin(repeat) I was in a state of amazement.

Breakfast Muffin Lady was so much more than just five minutes of entertainment this morning. She is a truly an inspiration. So, dear Breakfast Muffin Lady, you have taught me that there is no need sacrifice anything in life. One day I can have it all just like you.
