Feel Like Rain

Yes, the title of this entry is "feel like rain." Not Feels like rain. Its the third track on Motion City Soundtrack's 2005 album Commit This To Memory. So today after my night class I headed to Safeway to get a new shampoo, shaving cream and soap, because I was running low. As I was looking down the isles to find what I was looking for I remember another thing about Safeway that bothers me.

I am getting ahead of myself. Let me set up the situation. First of all, it's raining and that makes me upset. Don't get me wrong, we need a little rain here because everything is dieing from the heat and I am starting to get annoyed with wearing shorts. So it is raining and that also means that I have to drive slower in order not to spin out around corners and spin the tires coming off of a green light. So when I was headed to Safeway I slowed down and tried to remember the things I needed to get. Now to the main event.

As I entered the store, I was instantly greeted by the extreme amount of Halloween candy. I guess I shouldn't care, but it has been out since September first, and that is a little crazy. It is still at the end of this month, which I can't even think about right now. So I passed up the diabetes isle and made my way to the personal hygiene isle. I found the soap and shampoo and stood in the isle feeling small compared to the gargantuan selection of bars of soap. Then I realized that I hate how being in Safeway makes you forget what you went there to get in the first place. As I searched for the bars of Dial soap I felt overwhelmed by the large variety of soaps. I looked top to bottom and couldn't find it. There is a soap for sensitive skin, dry skin, itchy skin and flaky skin, but there wasn't a damn bar of soap for normal skin.

Once I found the Dial I had to decide which sent I wanted... Is there a reason for more than "soap" scented soap. I mean do I have to smell like something other than soap? Scents are becoming ridiculous these day. I am waiting for Axe to come out with a scent called "Male stripper's g-string." That will be the day I start washing myself with soap bars I steal from hotels. So finding the shampoo was easy because it was right behind me. So I picked it up and headed to the check stand. So I pay for my goods, and head out the door.

I stepped one foot into my house and realized, I had went to Safeway and forgot the one things that I went there for in the first place... Shaving cream. I went into the bathroom and cursed the Safeway distraction gods for making shopping and working there such a living nightmare. Now I am packing for my trip to Arizona and I will have to pick some shaving cream up when I get there. That or rough it for a few days. Anyway, until next time, keep asking for double papered bags. Courtesy clerks love that!
