this is how my life works

today I was driving along
like millions of other schmucks
and yapping on my cellphone
when
I needed to record some information down
so
I pulled into a minimal type parking lot
in the interest of safety
and well
I finish my conversation

look up
and what should be directly in front of me
but
blockbuster
so
I walk inside
and ask the young lady behind the counter

"do you have a copy of donnie darko"

she looks puzzled
slightly confused
starts slowly shuffling towards the terminal
to look it up
when
from behind her
another woman pipes up

"I just checked a copy in and set it behind you"

the first entriprising blockbuster employee
[or is it team member]
turns around
and sure enough

sitting right there
is a dvd copy of donnie darko

which I rented
and
just finished watching

and
may I say
it was fucking brilliant

I greatly enjoyed it

although I have to admit
some minor amounts of concern
with regard to a certain similarity
with my own life
as
when I was about the protagonists age
one of the most bizzare moments
of my life was a visit
from a six foot tall man
in a fuzzy bunny suit

although
the similarities end there
because

his suit was pink
and
his name was joey

so
it probably doesnt mean anything
[really]

I've never seen this 'donnie darko'. I've added it to my netflix queue.

Reading the description, I'm intrigued. Did you know that from the day my wife and I started dating, she claimed to be able to only see me as an anthropomorphic rabit? At first I thought it was just because I once confessed a childhood fear of such beasts, but now, I'm not so sure.
