Too much

I live in Brooklyn, so maybe it had to be a given that I would make it to the only event in Brooklyn on time. Meh…. It didn’t happen. The show was on a Thursday at seven thirty. It was the night before flying out to Denver, and also one of the days that I get out of class at 5:30pm. I had so many things to do. Pack; buy some more stuff, and the promised weekly dinner with my boyfriend. I felt like superwoman and thought that I could manage it. It didn’t work out.
I rushed out of class, flew down the stairs, and out the door. I think I made it to the train in less than seven minutes… pretty impressive, if I may say so. I headed uptown. My boyfriend was waiting with dinner. Yum… Brazilian food once again, but hey, at least the flan was delicious. Dinner was over in less than 20 minutes. Ah 6:15pm. We paid the check and headed to Aeropostale. There I bought the much-needed jacket for the cold, disgusting, dry cold that is typical of Colorado, and then I asked my boyfriend if he would take the train with me to DeKalb Avenue. He agreed and on the subway we went.
The ride there was pretty uneventful.
7:15pm
There was still time. We ran out of the station. My phone was dead… I told him to look up were I was going. Late, as always but I made it.
Now, on to the actual show. I may have been that I was tired. Or maybe it was just that it was boring. Yes, it was innovative. I think on the edge of being extreme. It certainly looked like they were trying to hard. The presentation itself was impeccable. As far as technology and the use of it—there are no words to describe how good it was. Yet the acting in the play was mediocre. It just didn’t seem like stock traders actually worked that way. It was too staged. I didn’t seem authentic. Albeit, The Grapes of Wrath certainly added a certain level of parallelism, which made it easier to understand the concept of, how history repeats itself when we don’t change.
Everyone views tings in different perspectives. I wondered what someone who thought it was bad would think. However the funny thing is, stock brokers actually do work like that, though people might not believe it.
