i was incredibly bored today, so i was compelled to just go and walk around downtown. i brought some books with me just in case i got the urge to actually do work and write some papers. i broke down and bought starbucks- but i justified it by writing three pages of one of my papers. since i couldnt seem to do that at the apartment, it really was worht the money.
i was waiting for the el at the red line stop at grand and this woman started to play moon river on her guitar. her voice was amazing. she was probably around 60, and sounded like it, but there was just somehting about her voice that reminded me of someone who used to sing to me when i was little. i gave her a dollar and then me and this boy from loyola sat and talked to her for a while (her name was joy, by the way). we each told her that there was something recognizable in her voice, and she was grateful and then we talked a little bit. she was just so happy that it made me happy too. me and the boy each walked away smiling. best part of the day by far. ever since then i have been really productive and i think that joy helped. thanks joy.
