Captain Strange

Just been sitting on the bus, next to a young guy. Nice looking, blue eyes... and then he starts singing really loud hits from The Beatles. And there is the usual reaction, some people smile, some people look away, some people giggle because it is out of the realm of normal accepted behaviour. You see, when you get on a bus in Canada, you should really sit quiet, and try not to disturb others - something that this guy was obviously violating with his loud roudy tunes.

I found the whole thing fascinating, and If I did not have to get off the bus, I think I may have actually started singing with him. And it made me feel so good, just being around someone who was doing something abnormal... well it was liberating.

I got off the bus with the BIGGEST smile on the face.

And consequently I started thinking about it more, how much I am drawn to people that are different, the more odd, the more zany, the more unpredictable the better... I find such people fascinating. Or even with people who appear bizarre, I love finding the zany parts that exist within them, the odd little deviations in peoples personalities.

People can really fascinate me. I guess thats why I am now off to a coffee shop, to read a book, and to also watch and observe people on the streets, and wonder who they are and what their story is...

Too dooo looo....
