This Life is More Than ...
I write emails with things like "do you still wanna go to BK for the art thing this Sunday?" and "ok, meet me at the Christopher Street 1 station in the village."
I'm looking at the man in the window across the street wash his hands. I'm listening to Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" album, even though it was really Stevie Wonder's "Season's of Love" from the original Rent that prompted me to write about my love affair with this city.
I don't have AIDs. I've never had a drug problem, been a stripper, a musician, a film-maker, or homeless. I work in an office. I wish I lived on the Lower East Side. And the movie Rent had some unbelievable cheese in it. But, still, this song is like, so... so, here & now. Which is always what I'm trying to get at, being here & now. And here & now, I love New York, and I'm feeling really lucky.
And, I'm going to be on the Today show modeling Halloween costumes!!
See? Anything can happen here. I can't wait for my 15 seconds of fame :)

Wait, what? When are you going to be on the Today show? What costumes? Can I come?
Also, I HATE the song Seasons of Love. I'm sorry. I love you, I love your taste in music (Mason Jennings is going on pretty much everybody's CD) and Rent is not a terrible musical (never saw the movie, though). But that song makes me want to tear my eardrums from my skull. So just don't play it when I come visit, and I won't make you listen to Claiken or something equally devastating.
whahahahaha who knew you were so anti Seasons of Love... funny! I promise not to terrorize you with it, when you come visit, or... ever. unless it mysteriously appears on a mix CD... just kidding! I love mix CDs though, was that a hint you are making me one?
