Glory Days

All I thought this morning held in store for me was a haircut. I didn’t know that I was going to become a famous voice for truth and justice in the Durham area…

Strolling through downtown Durham with no higher aspirations than not being too late for my hair appointment, destiny ambushed me in the form of a news team looking for sound bites about the infamous District Attorney of Durham County, Mike Nifong. Nifong was recently disbarred due to misconduct in the even more infamous Duke Lacrosse Players Case. Apparently there is speculation that he is holding out his resignation until after a pay increase would go into effect on July 1st. Fortunately for ignorant me the friendly news crew explained it all to me so that I could share my articulate and spur of the moment pithy opinion with them on film.

Somewhat pleased with my actions as an heroic voice of the people, I jauntily continued to the salon where I was able to see myself in a mirror and notice for the first time that my T-shirt was still wet from where I goobered on myself that morning and tried to wash it off. Not only that but I became painfully aware that I had not put on any makeup as I was going to the gym next. The final lovely touch was that I hadn’t even really brushed my hair, just thrown on an ugly green headband since I was on my way to get a haircut. The headband had shifted as I walked and a big bunch of hair was sticking straight out of it on the top of my head looking ludicrous.

Horrified, I scanned the evening news and was relieved to find that I was cut in favor of murder and mayhem. I have never been so thankful for a little murder and mayhem! And then I realized I should check the website… Oh dear...
