A Hole in my Pants

I've realised that I have neglected this blog the last month or so.

My friend asked me how the opposite blog was going. I had to admit that I hadn't been concentrating on it.

As I said at the beginning, it is going to be a challenge to remember about The Opposite for the next year.

Anyway, I've decided to send a daily update to my friend and from that update I will try to publish this blog.

Let me tell you what happened and how I did the opposite yesterday.

I was walking to the library after finishing at the gym and everything seemed great if a little hot.

I sat down at the library and started doing my work and then I noticed something a bit strange. What i found was that I had a big hole in the crotch of my trousers went went around to the back. I don't think the hole was obvious but it still was a little disconcerting that I thought about going home to change my pants.

In the end I didn't do that. I did the opposite, borrowed a stapler, stapled the holes together and went about my day. At times I could feel a staple breaking but it worked and I wasn't too worried about it.

Another thing that I noticed yesterday is that no one cares about your hole in your pants. They aren't looking anyway. Most people are looking down at their phones or looking down at the floor or ground walking. They are too worried about themselves to worry about a hole in the pants.

I'm glad that I did the opposite yesterday and made the most of my day.
