Run-off

I had some things that I'd usually tweet, but couldn't cut down to 140, hence post. 

Vignette 01:  I walk into Target & the first thing I see is a sign that reads 'FLU HQ'.  Is that really the message you wanna send potential customers?  That your store is the headquarters for the flu?  Surely, McDonald's ball pit will file a lawsuit disputing copyright infringement.  I went to a Wal*Mart next to see if they had a 'HEP A HQ' sign, but they didn't.  I guess they're keeping their headquarters a secret...


Vignette 02:   At Target, while looking for a clipboard, a mom & daughter (about 10yrs old) are looking at the cd's by the impulse buys, my guess is they are looking for a gift for someone else.  Mom, trying to sound hip suggests, "how bout lady gaga?".  The daughter, feeling the gall of the suggestion, "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can't stand her."  A little tear trickled down my face & I walked by the mom, patted her on the back & said "you're doin a fine job with that girl of yours, keep it up."  


Vignette 03:  I acquired the clipboard and was filling up my coke & there was this woman dressed up as Princess Jasmine. It took everything in me to not go up & ask her if I could show her the world.  I did ask her todays date & her answer wasn't oct. 31, so I'm still a little confused bout the outfit choice.  Queer eye, would not have been pleased.  Granted, i was rockin some weird brown, orange & white plaid shorts & a beater, so glass houses, ya know.  My sister would have politely went up to her & suggested that she dress for the job she wants, not the job she has.  But then I thought, if she has a job at the magic kingdom where she gets to dress up as Jasmine, then why would you aspire to any other job?  But then I thought, what if the magic kingdom were a strip joint?  I guess the name wouldn't have to change....

Target was full of inspiration today, which has been severely lacking in my life.  I've been in this place recently where, I know the only place I can find lasting & true inspiration is Jesus, but I don't really know how to get there?  I will leave it there.  Please comment your thoughts on this topic as I'm sure it is common to the human existence.
