FDNY Looked a Little Different Today

hello dear, sorry I couldn't chat much earlier, but this is one of the major problems associated with having a real job... no more long luxurious lunchbreaks. but, then again, when did I ever get long luxurious lunchbreaks? from what I remember they usually involved running for a pre-made packet of mediocre sushi on campus or sitting in the golfcart snarfing down a grilled chicken sandwich between beer runs at Bryan Park. anyways.

after we hung up, I almost had a moment in the middle of Union Square, which is not the best place to have a moment, good, bad or otherwise. but something about living in New York City during the anniversary of 9/11, and hearing the band play "All You Need Is Love," and knowing (or at least believing) that it's true, and that even after all that- a lot of other people believe it too- is just really something. and I can't really cry, because I'm not directly affected by it, and I don't really have a reason to, but just thinking about what it all means, still today, is this bizzarre and unsettling feeling, though not exactly in a bad way. more like a sad but proud way.

but it aso makes me feel a little like how I do when I walk around the city on a bright, clear day and look up at the buildings and down at the sidewalk and across at the millions of people I see every single day and think, God- I am so lucky to live here, and also God- I love my life. and I just know moments like these, they really make it worth living, and I hope everyone has them. today I felt like I love this city and these people I've never met and September and even my small little life, and I thought about how lucky I am to be able to feel this fine on this day.

that's about it, I feel that I should just update you on the craziness that was this weekend tomorrow- you can wait anxiously with anticipation :) in the meantime, do tell me more about M.S. in your dorm (yeah you know) without getting too graphic, and your new haircut (be as graphic as you'd like) and also anything else worth noting in the land of the babyblue-and-white....
