Sometimes I say things in my head that I think are funny and I want to write them down. Sometimes I use writing as a way to process my thoughts, which are murky and ungraceful. Mostly this is a self-gratifying interweb experiment that started in 2003 and I keep it up simply because I want to see how it all ends. In some ways, this is better than a photo. I grew up in this blog from 2003 to today.

Nothing like being on a slow-moving train on a gloomy fall morning while listening to a melancholy love song to make you feel like you are in a music video. I felt just a little more glamorous when I realized that all things had converged at just the right moment and were eliciting feelings of decorative sadness in my being. I leaned my head against the window and clung tightly to my backpack and tried to assume the 'life sucks' facial expression that properly befits a music video, but no one will ever know how successful I was in creating said artistic image. Probably the business professional outfit did not help. But the backpack I held did have a hole in it, but instead of all my worldly posessions, it contained my gym shoes and sports bra for the run I plan on attempting later at the gym in my building....sigh.

I LOVE moments like this. I totally know what you mean. There was one winter in Chicago where I was riding the red line and I was somewhere near the Berwyn stop and just looking out the window, just then this one song on Bjork's Vespertine album started playing and it was a serendipitous convergence of pure perfection. I totally felt like I was the video. I love that song always.
Hehehe I saw you and slightly giggled!!! You have been doing great at the running thang! I am soo motivated!
