Buying pants, a humbling experience...

Today, I went to run a bunch of errands. I wanted to get some information on leather gloves I have bought, and to punch extra holes in a belt I bought a long time ago, and I can no longer use (until today!) because the hole on the belt was still too big for me.

It all went well until I tried on a pair of shorts at Northbound. By the end of it, I felt fat and ugly, because I had to try on so many pairs of shorts in different styles, and they were all 36 and 38's... I usually take pants in 34 - 36 (max). So, I learned an important lesson today: Most places don't give true sizes. Northbound does. And of the pair that fit me nicely, the leg was so big, it looked ridiculous on me, and I could stick my entire hand down my pants (waist wise). By the end, they were trying to opt for me to buy a pair of custom-made shorts, and the cost would be 25% more than the price. Which would put the cost at about $230. (The shorts are leather, but still). But then I could do whatever I want with them, since they were custom.

And then on the way home, I got on the metro, and there was this loud-mouth idiot. I sat down at Berri-UQAM station, and after a girl left, he said out loud, "I bet you money that she was a dyke." and then later on, he claimed that he had the worse metro ride ever, since at first, "There was the lady with the grass salad", and then there was the "lesbian". By the time he got out of the metro, I wanted to strangle him.

I was thinking, I couldn't possibly be having a worse day, could I? And then I remember the Family Guy episode where they animated a Japanese man who got a parking ticket on August 6, 1945 in Hiroshima, Japan. And he exclaimed, "Oh, I was off my five minutes". Then, a car drives by and splashes him. He exclaimed, "Could this day get any more worse?" and then the sounds of a bomb came... In the episode, it turned out to be a wild man attacking ape, but I think we all know that it's supposed to be the atomic bomb. That, would be bad. So, compared to that, I didn't have such a bad day...

I work out, I eat healthy, I eat junk food sometimes... I have a bit of a belly, but I wouldn't consider myself fat... But, perhaps I'm being mislead, and I really am fat?
