I just wanted to give you guys a quick lesson for life. It's called the Opportunity Cross.
No. I'm not talking about some stupid job or travel opportunity. I'm talking about using cross walks. Yes. The kind that you use when you are walking somewhere, like to school, or you job, or really anywhere in New York. Now. When walking around a city...like New York, you will notice that giant globs of people tend to stand and wait for the light to change so that they can cross the road. Well! I am going to give you the secret to avoiding this situation. Because let's be real, standing next to that smelly guy who has ridden on the subway one too many times and just ate a $1 pizza while scratching his butt is not a pleasurable thing to do.
Now drum roll!
The secret is the Opportunity Cross. This means that if you have to walk two blocks over and six blocks up, try your darnedest to not stop walking. This means that you opportunity cross. Whenever you get a chance, cross the street. That is until you reach one of the streets you need. If you can't cross the street, turn and walk down until you can jay walk. If you can turn and cross the street instead of going straight, do it. Don't create a set path for yourself. That is why people end up in the giant globs. If you don't need to walk straight down the avenue for four blocks, causing you to get stuck at four cross walks, don't do it. Keep you feet moving. Not only is it good exercise, but it is also good for avoiding those people who you want to avoid.
Now that I've let you in on the greatest revelation of my life it's time to go.
Proshyai.
Kim.
