so i did. sat at the end of an isle in the shoe dept.
sat there watchin everyone walkin by and shopping.
then went to my sponsors.
he asked,"howd it go?"
"i was able to do it and not puke."
'how many people did you see?"
" probably 50-75."
"and how many did you make eye contact with?"
" i think about 5?"
"thats how important you are to other people."

an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.
