Location: 1hr ago, in front of a mailbox on Broadway
Mood: indescribable
Music: a hustle here and a hustle there
Him: Come out with me – open bar, girls too young for us. The usual. You in?
Me: I’m in.
Think Heartgirl’s tired of hearing me talk about my life so I’ve been trying to talk to her less. Guess I don’t blame her, got a lot on my mind. So, RE Mike invited me out to the premier of Peter & Vandy where we chatted up some folk and a tall drink of water bought me a tall drink of rum.
But I swung by Paul’s new pad first where he was unpacking.
Me: Aren’t we all?
The next day, met up with Heartgirl for onea my oldest buddy’s wedding in Brooklyn. Heartgirl and I then got lit together and stumbled across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. Told her I lived here my whole life and never walked across it before. It’s true.
Her shoes kept getting stuck in the walkway and we couldn’t help but laugh.
Life’s been stressful lately. Can’t keep taking the disappointments.
But the flip side’s the unexpected kindness, the grace I’m always talking about. Like old friends that make an appearance.
My friend Steel, his real name, stopped by and dropped off a rack of prime rib and some fillet mignion cause he heard I wasn’t doing so hot. And Bryson called me up to tell me he’s gonna be a pop.
And the last little bit I got tonight. Closing an office isn’t just shutting the doors and kicking everyone to the curb. There’s a lotta shredding involved. A lot of it. Was up at 4AM and it was 10PM in front of my shredder when my wrestling coach calls me.
Him: You’re doing well. I think maybe you can hold your own once you get better.
It made the hour commute home not so sucktastic. Cause, in some way, that’s what everyone’s been saying, that maybe I can hold my own once I get better.
YASYCTAI: Take a walk on a bridge at night. If you get wet, you’ve gone the wrong way. (10 mins/1 pt)

wow interesting.. did you like the movie, and was it a good movie?as for walking a bridge at night, it's one of my irrational fears that i will sadly never get to partake any romantic moment on. haha. walking over a fairly long bridge with (usually) fast-flowing water underneath at night scares me like nothing I can describe.. i learned this when walking across the river ness in inverness.
I didn't actually get to see the movie! I showed up late and just went to the after party (which was fun).You should try the Brooklyn Bridge. It's ginormous! I think you'd feel as safe as houses.
ok.. true.. i've done the brooklyn bridge… but now i can't remember what it felt like.. means i must have to try it again.
