Chicken foot - an almost love story

Tweet

I should start a series of writing called misadventures in dating. If I do, let's make this the first one! About a year ago I met a single man. Now meeting someone in my age range who is still single is sort of rare. Add to it the fact that he looked well dressed, well spoken and intelligent .... I was thrilled. Even more thrilled when I suggested to him we exchange numbers. Now before I continue I would like to say that in my own defense - if you didn't talk to him much he acted totally normal. One of our first get togethers I noticed some odd ideas. Example - he wanted to start a Church that would eventually take over the world economy and all media and businesses. Mmmm hmmm. Well one day - I saw him jogging outside. This was in January and the temperature was below freezing. To make it better he was jogging in shorts and no shoes or socks, outside, on his tippy toes, on the ice. I really hoped there was a logical explanation, I really did, but I had to go and ask.... his claim? That he was jogging barefoot on tippy topes, on ice was because as he was becoming enlightened and when he became all the way enlightened he would no longer have human feet - he would have chicken feet, so he was just practicing. Yup, mmmmhmmm... Needless to say I think the person in question is suffering some mental illness and I by no means wish to make fun of that - however I do wish people suffering would be better monitored... in addition to his somewhat eccentric view points and behaviors he also had a real ire against women.
