yo la tengo makes me feel good.
i have figured out that i am addicted to people. for everything. for the pain, the love, the hate, the stories, the silence, the memories, the not so random random encounters, the beautiful women, the honest men, the lies, the scars, and smiles and tears. i want to talk to everyone. i want to hear everyone's heart pound their words and have their eyes hold on to mine like i was the last person that would hear them.
in nyc, i loved when i would walk by someone and by chance of motion, our eyes would lock and hold for what seemed like hours. it's as if you and that person are trying to learn as much as you possibly can about the other by being entranced by their line of vision.
i walked by a woman in a whole foods who rammed her elbow into a counter top by accident and she mouthed "oh fuck!" silently and i saw it all happen. instantaneously i get a sharp pain in my elbow on the same side she hit. i feel your pain.
i am going to write to someone i don't know about some things. try writing a letter. it feels way better than electric mail.
