yesterday was a harrowing experience courtesy of greyhound got stuck in the middle of nowheresville literally. allentown and the bus brokedown, overheated or something and the replacement from philly took about 4 bloody hours to reach us as a result of which I arrived in NYC at 1.30 am when I was supposed to reach by 8.45pm.
was I tired while waiting? I guess so... yet another story to tell the grandkids, if I ever have any that is. made new friends and penpals and such.. this 67-year old man is compelled to create a gmail account because of me and the bus driver was reminiscing about his saigon days and his thailand experience during the vietnam war and there were these two half brothers... one man was chinese and one looked hispanic and they shared the same father... we got to talking about politics and they were seriously anti-bush there was this 32-year old californian limo driver who was extremely friendly but this other gal from state college was so apprehensive of me talking to everyone so freely she got all motherly on me we watched SATC on my laptop... thank goodness for that sort of mindless entertainment during the long hours of waiting in a deserted parking lot
so yeah. i'm wandering aimlessly about the streets of new york city searching for a good photo essay... and i'm scared to approach people to ask them if i can tag along for the day and see their lives and tell their stories. seriously though, why am i so frightened?
there was this beautiful spring market fair inside grand central station and mom called while i was browsing through the handcrafted items and i wished she was there because, well, only moms can appreciate these things the best.

august 2014. how time flies! i still feel like i have so much more growing up to do. :)
funny how life changes forever with the most miniscule of happenings. the startled meeting of two surreptitious glances in the mirror, the sudden dangled offering of purchase of free flight. the thin results slip, the inconspicuous admissions letter. the bad phone call, a moment's folly of taking advantage of someone. the last thoughtless caustic remark that pushes a strained friendship over the edge. i love/hate life. and i know it's a loan.
