U BE ME

I went to the grocery store this morning.......Giant is having a great great great sale on Coke products. My mother raised a girl with an abiding love of sales and coupons (properly pronounced KEW-PONS). Therefore, I was giddy at the notion of getting five (count 'em, 5!) 12-packs of Coke Zero for the low, low price of $11.00. Holy Caffeination, Batman!!

In the Giant parking lot - which ironically, is quite large - there was an SUV with the vanity plate reading "U BE ME". I wondered if this was a challenge, an accusation, a wish for somebody else's life........what did that mean? U BE ME. If I were to say to another person "U BE ME" - it would no doubt be said in a snitty tone and clearly mean "Oh yeah!! Then YOU do it all!!".

In a kind a peaceful world, the drive of said vehicle is a less defensive and bitter person than am I. Perhaps this person is simply wishing that all of mankind could be as happy and contented as he/she is. With glee and joy, the driver exclaims U BE ME! - attain the harmonious and undisturbed state of consciousness which I have discovered. Perhaps the person wishes to Teach the World to Sing and Buy the World a Coke. AHA, must be it. This perpetually fulfilled vessel of delirious bliss was at Giant stocking up Coke products! Even the euphoric appreciate a good bargain!

Ah, piss on that.
