Rhetoric in my Day

As I step out of my front door and make my way down the alley I look down and see an old Parliment cigerette pack, a crushed Bud Light can, and a crumbled piece of paper where all I can make out of it is some ad for Subway. I look up and see The Crystal and to the left and right of me is graffiti pasting the walls that I walk by everyday. I make it to Court St. after tripping on an old Quiznos cup, I felt like it was calling to me saying drink me!! I turn right on Court St. as I head to College Bookstore..only a few more blocks to go. I look at the car parked next to me and I see that it has a U.S. Army bumper sticker. I keep heading for the bank, trying to not get too distracted by all the rhetoric. I never realized how much there was around me. As I make my way past the Chinese restaurant I see a Kid Cudi poster. It seems that he is coming to Columbus sometime soon. Also, I see a Bluegrass BBQ poster and I think, hmm that could be interesting. As I cross the crosswalk and make my way closer to the bookstore I see that Chase bank has about a million flyers that I haven't even paid attention to before. Some add about joining an organization and others for Dance or Die at the Union. I keep walking and pass Chipotle, a smell like no other, it just pulls me in every time I walk past. Finally, I make it to the bookstore and I see they are renting textbooks on the sign outside and that you can save 50% or more. Good deal, I think as I make my way downstairs to the Art Supplies.

I never realized that I could be distracted by so many things if you just stop and look for a minute and not be in such a hurry. A five minute walk turned into a 20 minute one but it wasn't a bad thing. I got to see and learn about so many new things that I didn't even realize surrounded me.
