Like him or hate him, but it’s not about him. This rules for people like me.
Shed the meaning

I was walking through Penn Station, and I noticed a homeless woman wearing a Sevendust shirt. I guessed based on her age and demeanor that she probably doesn’t even know what Sevendust is (it’s a shitty band, FYI), nor does she care.
To that woman, it was just a shirt. It presented no external meaning, even right down to its color. It was just a shirt: warmth, protection, convention. She didn’t expect it to say anything about who she was. She lives in a world that is beyond that. To the people she sees, she is no one, and any message she puts forth is lost in musings like this one.

I’ve been making an effort to document the Occupy Wall Street movement. Here’s the first photo set taken the night of Fri. 10/07/11– I’m using film, so apologies for (un)timeliness!
A few seconds of Portishead

I finally saw Portishead, and it was hands down the best musical experience I’ve ever had. I was able to take a few seconds of video, which normally should never be done because it’s annoying and pointless, but this 7-second video somehow really hints at the amazingness of it all.

One of my best friends in the world, Karoleen Decastro, recently came to visit me in NYC. She said this in a note the day she left:
“I know we’re going through a lot, but as always, I am confident everything will work out. How do I know? Four years ago we talked about all the things we wanted to do, and now we’re doing them. Problem is, we always want more… Keep doing what you’re doing. Your life doesn’t need to change. It just naturally evolves, and it’s now great and will always be great. I promise.”

Sunday, September 25: I’m walking in Nolita with Karoleen. We are on a fairly empty street headed towards Bowery. A man is passing us on the sidewalk. He looks familiar. We make eye contact and I give him a confused look. He gives me a little smile.
My internal dialogue: Is that Thom Yorke? He really looks like Thom Yorke. But what would Thom Yorke be doing walking down this random street in New York on a Sunday afternoon? Plus, this guy is pretty short. And, I don’t remember Thom Yorke having a squinty eye like that, or longish hair. But, I guess I wouldn’t really know. It’s probably not Thom Yorke, moron.
It was Thom Yorke.

Aliya: “He has a drinking problem.”
Me: “How do you know?”
Aliya: “He has a beer belly.”
Me: “That doesn’t mean he has a drinking problem, dude.”
Aliya: “The belly is the problem.”
