Out riding the mountain bike today, and 2 fellas roll up to an intersection where I was taking a little break.
The one dude talking loudly enough about his current $15 an hour job, but he’s getting a “huge promotion” soon with extra hours and responsibility.
“I’ll probably never see daylight again” he said kinda laughing.
Me: “it’s not much of a promotion if you have to trade your life for it”
Short pause…
“Damn, I didn’t think of it like that” he says.
Hopefully homeboy will realize riding his bike with his homie and enjoying life is where it’s at.
Didn’t mean to take the wind out of his sails – hope they had a killer rest of their ride.
