There are people who strive to be unique, there are people who are born unique and then there are people who are so unique, they are in a class of their own. Either way you look at it, some people manage to stop you in your tracks with the things they do, what they wear or say, or, in this case, what they drive.
I was out to lunch today with my best friend and as we were eating, in comes this very "unique" looking gentleman with his son, dressed in neon yellow, orange and blue tye dye pants and a shirt, bald head, sunglasses perched upon his shining crown and what I only assumed to be shoes covered his feet. I honestly stopped focusing on my food and the conversation I was having to just process what my eyes were seeing. I almost laughed aloud but that would have been rude.I wouldn't have laughed out of malice, but out of an expression of the amazement and admiration I felt for this guy that he actually didn't care he was out in public dressed like that. You could tell he was confident in choice of attire and to heck with anyone who didn't like it. After all, a man dressed like that could only buck conventional societal values about what is "acceptable" to wear and what isn't. A man dressed like that could only think that whoever decides what's "in" and "out" in fashion is close minded and so un-unique (is that a word? lol). A man dressed like that could only have decided to live his life according to his way and his rules. What's not to admire? Would any of us have the courage to dress like that? Ugly or not?
I managed to finish my food in peace and as I was leaving the restaraunt , I happened upon this wonderfully delightful sight:
Guess who it belonged to? =) Kudos to this man who managed to bring a dash of joy to my day. Whoever you are, don't stop being who you are!
