Biggie Small

I have to admit that there are times when I feel petty and I act petty. I have no qualms about feeling this emotion because I know it's something I have to go through. As long as I don't wallow in it for too long, that's the main thing.

So yesterday I was upset with a friend which brought up my petty behaviour. I mean my friend has a right to express himself how he wants even if it doesn't fit into my expectations. I know that I either have to accept it or lump it. I did lump it by sending him an angry text message (ah, the wonder of technology). I then walked home, more like stomp home.

One thing I do enjoy during my walks is spotting car registrations numbers that match mine and loved one's initials. On this occasion, I was in too much of a shitty mood to play that game. However, the Universe had other ideas because a car registration with the letters UEJ was flagged for my attention.

So what? I'm still not in the mood to play!

I couldn't avoid what the initials signified, however: UEJ = Universal Enocia Joseph. This means that UEJ is my larger than life self that is NEVER petty.

As I walked past some pink roses, I was inspired to smell them even though I wasn't in the mood. They smelled wonderful. By then my walk had mellowed to a leisurely stroll.

As I walked under this tree I heard these birds screeching at me. I looked up at them and thought, "Yeah, you got me! Now what?" I had a feeling the birds just wanted me to listen to them singing; anything to distract me, I suppose.

As I came across people I felt the urge to say hello. One young guy just stared at me as if I was nuts. I don't blame him really as a lot of Londoners don't tend to do hellos.

One young woman was cycling on the pavement with her dog trotting behind her. When the dog disappeared for about a minute the woman called out to the dog. As I walked by I noticed the dog was having a poo inside someone's front gate, which had been left open. The dog even turned round and looked at me as if he was really proud of himself. I told the woman what her dog was doing. Now, why did the dog choose that particular house at that point in time to do what he did? Unless he was mirroring back at me my shitty attitude. Hehe! I thought that the woman had better clear up the dog's mess or the people in that house are going to be in a foul mood.

Still on my way I spotted more roses, which I stopped to admire and sniff at.

The icing on my walking cake was when I saw this woman ticking her bulldog's stomach. I stooped to stroke the top of his head.

"What's your name then, doggie?" I said.

"It's Biggie!" the woman said.

"Well, it's good to meet you, Biggie!"

Oh I see, while I've been acting petty and attracting shitty behaviour, my larger than life self, UEJ, has been attracting beautiful roses, bird songs, lovely people (bar the starey guy), and even a dog called Biggie!

It just goes to show that even when I'm acting small, I'm still enormous.
