Cheers.
It's the first day of December and I'm back from my holiday. Mine was as perfect as perfect can get. I'm biased, of course, but I'm betting that yours kicked ass, too. How was it? Like me, did you need an extra day to just be?
"I'm not sure that all of my dreams will come true, but right here, somehow, I'm that much closer..." - Me (to a stranger on Thanksgiving Day in Astoria)
When I said this, I had one casual eye on the person in front of me... Her name was Irina. And I had my good eye focused on the window over her left shoulder. It was cold and it was raining and it was beautiful. Rainwater on glass does one of two things... 1) It either distorts what's behind the window so much that you can't see anything beyond the blur or 2) It creates a different point of view giving you endless points of reference to let your internal poetry run wild. The one who is looking in or the one who is looking out benefits one way or the other. Tracy said that I picked a good place to sit. Irina agreed. These two kept us engaged on this national holiday and it felt right. Spontaneous, but right. This is not as significant as it may seem, but it merits being mentioned...
Quick thought: [scrubs] (version 2) premiered tonight. Thoughts? A resurrection? Did it satisfy? Did it rock? Did the encore measure up to the full set? In a word, "yes." Damn, Bill's good, scary good. Me? I see something and someone in...
So, here are 10 things that are on my mind right now...
1) Bring it on. Bring reserves. You'll need 'em.
2) I (now) know 5 people who go by the name, "Joy." In March of 2008, I met the second one. And over the last month, I've encountered 3 more... I find this interesting. You won't... But in that group, I now have a favorite.
3) I still need to scrawl about a field trip I took back in September. I'm waiting for the right time. And song...
4) Speaking of songs, I recently added this song to a playlist that I unknowingly built... "Now That You're Gone" It's funny what a drive in the rain is capable of...
5) I have to return two phone calls. They even left messages... Thanks. That was nice of you.
6) This band name is possibly the best band name I've heard in 6 years. "We Were Promised Jetpacks" They deserve a medal.
7) "It all started in a playground....................." Finish that story for me, please. I can't.
8) To me, "The Goonies House" is just as significant as Graceland. Prove me wrong.
9) I can't believe that it's really Christmas time again. And yes, I think it's okay to believe in Santa Claus. He never lets me down the way that other Dude does...
10) For the record, when entering the aircraft, I'll always give him a quick pat... As long as I live... We all need some good luck. A superstitious move, I know, but it's my thing. It took and I'm keeping the move. It's not very often that we get to do these kinds of things. This will make sense to one person I know.
So, that's it! Ten things on the first...
I'm sleepy. Let's connect later over a couple of peanut butter jellies and Tom & Jerry.
Sweet. bsm*
