Cute or Obnoxious?

So I'm out at St. Louis Bread company having a nice relaxing Saturday lunch by myself when all of a sudden a couple comes in and sits at the table across from me.

At first they seem like just your typical happy pair grabbing a bite to eat after working out or on their way home from something but then something happens that sets them apart from most people I observe.

The guy, who was sitting on the other side of the table to begin the meal, stands up and slides his chair to the position shown in the photo above. He is now sitting on the corner of the table and their food, legs, and bodies are just that much nearer.

So my question is: Is this cute or obnoxious?

I'm going to go with obnoxious and here's why:

You are out eating lunch. It's ok to be in love and I'm happy they are but this guy does not need to partially block the aisle just to be that much closer to his girl while they're chowing down. It's one thing to cuddle at home during a movie, I'm all for that, but lunch out at Bread Co?

There's just no need.

You can spend 20 minutes across the table from your gal as you both finish your meals.

You tell me. Am I just overreacting or does this not annoy anyone but me?

I know, I know...

I desperately need to write something.

I apologize to those that read for the lack of posts lately. You all know how sometimes you aren't in the mood to write and I think I've been in that mood for over a month now.

I have been very self absorbed and not as in tune to the crazy world around me as I usually am.

The bottom line is: I'm missing writing and I will post more.

In the meantime here is a random list off the top of my head of things I've discovered or realized since my last post.

1.) It appears my newest roommate does in fact brush his teeth despite not having a toothbrush in the bathroom. (Travis, if you ever read this, I'm sorry. We've lived together for about 6 months now and I've never seen you do it once so I had our other roommate verify that there is in fact brushing going on.)

2.) I really enjoy the Hispanic community but just wish I knew Spanish as fluently as they did.

It's not like I've ever had any ill feelings towards Hispanics before my current job; it's just that I never had much interaction with them.

That all changed once I started at &*%#! (company name omitted).

Fortunately, the first person I sat by at my new job was of Mexican descent and she has, over time, become one of my best friends. Through her, not only has my desire to learn Spanish been renewed, but I've gotten the chance to absorb a whole culture though her friends and family I knew nothing about.

3.) Life is extremely unpredictable.

Without pouring my soul onto the screen let me just say that I don't think anyone can be certain what tomorrow holds. Each day we make choices that lead us down a path but no one can be sure just where that path leads. My life was on one path 2 years ago but I know now that path has changed.

There are so many factors that shape the life we perceive it's truly overwhelming to comprehend. So, in the meantime, living day to day, trying to enjoy each morning, noon, and night I am lucky to be a part of has been, and will continue to be, my primary focus.
