Three New Yorks
“There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter — the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and...

Jewish Friend: "I don't believe in love."
Me: "Oh I do."
The Old Me
Wherein you realize that the Old You is better than the New You. The old me was so adventurous and so in love with her boyfriend. His name was New York City—just like on Sex and the City when Carrie declares New York as her boyfriend.
And then whenever he’d let me down, I’d threaten that I’d had enough, that I wanted to move back to Florida or move out to Los Angeles,...

How many does it take?
How many great loves does it take?
(or in my case, great lusts and ferocious crushes)
Where did I go?
Have not been myself lately, where did I go?
January 14th
Today, as I address a birthday card for for a friend who is turning 99 tomorrow, I am thinking of someone special on what would have been their 32nd birthday.
We Are Young
Me: You know that song, "We Are Young"?
Brien: Yes, by the band Fun.
Lauren: Does it go, "We are young, heartache to heartache we stand..."
Brien: No, it's not Pat Benator.
December 26th
It only recently passed, but I can’t stop thinking about this day and how I spent it last year and this year. Every year on December 25th and 26th, I will go to bed and think about someone special who I lost and who I will never get back. Some things are irreversible. And I will always need someone to call that night to comfort and protect me as I drift off to sleep.
I think about this...

I understand now that we are all designed to care for then hurt one another. And put our careers, preferences and own interests first.
But when you die and your whole life flashes before your eyes, what will you see, other than your iPhone and the internet?
“Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain...”

Things in common
It’s unfortunate how a series of unintentional events can lead to an abrupt ending; when you think something is going one way, but you know it’s not, and they know it’s not.
But, why does everything have to be so serious? So under the microscope?
I guess when you don’t have enough things in common, it’s a very serious issue. I’ve never heard of that. So...

My tumblr, which until recently I had not opened since June 2009, is probably the only place I am writing honestly right now. It’s because I believe that nobody reads it and I don’t think that anyone follows me on here since I’m not...
Happy New Year
I don’t think that I was designed the right way for love. But I’m willing to wait and see if time tells me otherwise.
