A Singular Sensation

"I wish I could love...but I seem to have lost the passion, and forgotten the desire.  I am too much concentrated on myself.  My own personality has become a burden to me.  I want to escape, to go away, to forget."
-Oscar Wilde

It was breakfast at mom’s house again.

I telephoned Chad later and made arrangements to drive over to his place in Castro Valley.

I was feeling a bit down about Chad and I.  I felt a slightly uncomfortable sensation when I first laid eyes on him.  We went to Southland Shopping Mall in Hayward with cordial spirits.  I  bought some new REEBOKS tennis shoes.  Then we went to BAY FAIR Shopping Mall in San Leandro for a bit and made it back to his place in Castro Valley.  We kind of took a nap.  We both felt lazy.

At about five o’clock we got up and got ready to go for an outing to the Chabot Theater.  Larry was kind enough to treat us to some noodles, so we took him up on the serving.

Before arriving at Chabot Theater we stopped at SAFEWAY for snacks.  We ended up seeing “TWICE IN A LIFETIME”, starring Ann-Margret and “A CHORUS LINE”.  It was good.   It was a singular sensation.  I enjoyed it.

While watching “A CHORUS LINE” I couldn’t help but think of Amy Platt, knowing that she is from New York.  She also told me she was a ballet dancer.
