Color me rad...where did I put my robe?

I'm not sure if it's the weather or my age, but I find myself becoming increasingly oblivious to many things lately.  I suppose I'll just blame it on the color orange.  I can do that now that I'm senile. 

I hardly notice when I'm splashed with freezing water at the pool.  I don't bat an eyelash when the cat scratches its sharp claws down my arm.  And red stoplights.  I just can't seem to notice those and you wouldn't believe how necessary they are.  I also find myself completely unwilling to write a simple story and stay on one subject.

I find it odd when people walk with their arms to their sides and never swing them.

See what I mean?  Off subject.  But isn't it weird?  I mean people with motionless arms?  And I find myself staring at them, wondering Why do you want to make yourself so awkward?  Maybe it's a personality thing.  I can't be sure.  I only lean toward that idea because I don't have one single friend who walks that way.  Therefore, all motionles-arm walkers have one thing in common:  I'm not friends with them.  And if I'm not friends with them, it's probably because of their personality.  I would never not talk to somebody because of they way they walk.  Would I?  No, no I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.  Wouldn't not, that is.  I don't judge before I get to know somebody.  Every person that I don't know at this exact moment has the same opportunity to be my friend as every other person that I don't know.  Equality is awesome that way.

Now, to tie this all together and try to make some sort of sense of this mess I've created...I was splashed with freezing water today AND the cat scratched three nice big lines down my arm AND I didn't quite, but I nearly ran a red light.  Then, a guy walked by me at the pool with his arms glued to his sides and I pondered it for way, way too long.  So long that they called Pool Check and that's when I finally snapped out of it and realized I'd missed the entire hour of swimming.  How must that look?  Me, sitting poolside with three big scratches up my arm and staring off into space for nearly an entire hour while being splashed by random cannon-ballers and not even noticing. 

Stupid color orange.
