It's a Very Very Mad World

Dazed and confused... Such a wonderful and pleasurable feeling if applied properly!

The other day I went to a small little vintage clothes shop called The Other Side of the Moon. I entered and started browsing the giant boxes they have there full of accessories like escharpes, scarves and hats.

A little after that I saw a fat cat sitting in the table, I knew that there were two cats the last time I came so I asked the man were was the other one.
Well, it appears the other one was inside the box of scarves and hats so when I was looking I though the cat was a fur hat... Perfect camouflage no?

Adding to that, the man which I spoke to had an Elvis hairdo, a suit, a silk scarf with neon colours and was eating soup from a cabbage shaped dish.
That made the scenery even more absurd and nonsense.
He was watching the costumers with a moony yet kind look (great, if you have the store's name in mind). He looked like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

These things make me smile. It is just one of those people that I want to invite for coffee... Or maybe a Mad Tea Party!
Hello sir, please tell me all about your life, every tiny single bit!
(oh, and he was about 30 by the way, but why wouldn't a 30 year old be an interesting person to meet? Especially if comes from a fictitious place)

Mad World
Tears For Fears

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
