Tourists have it right.

I walked home tonight from the upper west side, and deliberately walked through times square, something I would normally never do. I usually have to go somewhere and do something, right? Walking through times square is usually not very conducive to going anywhere or doing anything. Anyway, tonight I had nothing to do, it's not realy a "weekend" to me, so I figured I'd take the long way home.

I'm so in love with this wonderful city. As I walked down 8th avenue, I passed what felt like a million different restaurants with cuisines from all over the world, I watched all sorts of people go out for the night- dressed up and trying to avoid the drizzle, I watched people walk their dogs, restaurant and retail workers closing up and finally getting to go home, and I felt very at peace and happy. I've felt a little isolated these past two weeks, off schedule from my friends and Matt, but I felt very much a part of New York City tonight.

When I finally turned east and entered times square, I saw all these tourists talking photos and smiling. I actually heard a woman say "this is fabulous", and she was right! Tourists have it right man. I feel this way EVERY DAY, I live here, I was born here, and I still can't get over how marvelous this city is.

Tonight Bella and I are going to listen to Etta James and make a cake. I hope you guys are all happy where you live, I hope you all have a beautiful night.

oh yeah! new york city!
