My thumbs just touched the crumbs left by the thumbs of someone who read this book I bought for $7 on the LES. How dare they, I thought. I don’t delight in old books if I have to crowd into the same space. Here’s hoping they stopped eating muffins by the next page.
Sometimes I have a good song on, chill but uplifting, and I’m standing in the A train, watching the whooshing of the outside walls pass by, and all of a sudden I feel like I’m Marty McFly on my hoverboard.

It will be FREE and open source.
One of the things they never tell you about aging, is not how to handle your own midlife crisis, but rather how to deal with the fleeting senior years of your parents.
As a kid, a big perceived step in becoming a grown up was the transition from pencil to erasable pen (if you were ok with dirty, hole-ridden assignments) to pen. These days, I wish I had an excuse to use an eraser in the shape of a rainbow. Wide-ruled paper drools though.
My preference for fruit shapes is changing. Currently craving watermelon, tomato and apples to be in the shape of carrot sticks. What’s happening here. I’m not a toddler.
Grateful that I learned how to type super fast as a kid. Many a time I have documented the speed of light going through my brain. When your fingers can keep up with your rolling thoughts, it creates a space in btwn where you can just float around freely and let the Muse join in.
