snow days are coming...
Listening to: Blink 182 (take off your pants and jacket)
(Written on the train to work.) ***haze*** ***haze*** ***twinkle*** ***twinkle*** There�s this skinny� anorexic looking man standing in front of me� �What?� I ask� I�m confused� everything is just a fog� All of a sudden I feel this pang in my bladder� and in the same moment� I hear: �I want to (bleep) you like an animal� I want to feel you from the inside� I want to (bleep) you like an animal��--- and the haze starts to lift� I smack the alarm/radio and snooze it off� And I immediately start chuckling my butt off� �What the hell???� and scurry off to the bathroom� Water in my dreams always equal one thing� Peeee!!!!! (Well� or as Ms. Padro, my high school psych teacher once put it� �it�s a sign of repressed sexual angst�") Which only made the chuckle, a bit more hysterical in nature� and the pain in my bladder more severe� What a way to start the morning, I tell you� funny, funny stuff� Although� Nine Inch Nail�s??? And the �Animal� track no less� I look up to the heavens� upon exiting the bathroom� and mumble� And I was on to get dressed and be on my way for work� So yeah� I�m dressed and suited up� (It�s been fucking freezing these past few days� two nights ago it dropped to 16 degree�s�) And as always I plop on the head phones, before opening the door and heading off� Blink is on� and funny enough, the player starts itself on my absolutely most favorite track on the CD! Track 8: Roller Coaster� It�s the only song I know of to use a roller coaster to exemplify the theme of love� and a particular torture, due to it�s unraveling� and well, the song all together- could as well been written by me� And so it goes� ��Make me promise I had that dream about you again And now I�m breathing deeply Yup� I�m ready to go� Open the door� step up and out� �Oh my God�� I am completely awe stricken� it�s so pretty� Absolutely pretty� I grab my cell phone, in the excitement� �Shari! Shari! Oh my god!� (My B.F.F. from Miami�) �Yes� what?! What�s wrong?!� �It�s SNOWING!!!!� She starts laughing� �Okay?� �Oh my God�� I�m still looking around in absolute amazement� It couldn�t have been falling for too long� because there weren�t any steps leading to the house, marked into the snow� and it was absolutely� Uhhhh� Fluffy? You see, I have seen snow before� and I have even been skiing before� but this was blinding� and just so fresh� untouched� not like it had been during my previous visits to New York� it wasn�t the least bit mudded� or gross� It was absolute fluff� Perfectly, shaped� like the plastic fake snow� you throw on your christmas tree� Perfect� fluffy� white� snow� Everywhere� And how it stacked itself, on the thinnest of empty tree branches� eluded me� �But Alex� � Still giggling.. �You�ve seen snow before�� �Oh my� but not like this� it�s so clean� so pretty� and everywhere� it�s coming down like a blanket� and sooooo� ummm?? Oh God�� (I actually thought of the word after I had hung up with her� �Peaceful�.) �Awwww�� She says� �that�s so nice�� At this point I keep laughing my ass off� as it turns out� my Doc Marten�s are not built for this weather� and with one hand on the phone� my bag� and the other with my coffee� �What�s going on?� she asked. Laughing, �Christ, I keep eating it man! This is so fucking funny� Snow shoes? That�s what that crap is for!� �Snow shoes?� she asks� �Fuck�� I�m laughing hysterically at this point� �I can�t see the corner�s of the street� where the side walk drops off� and I keep fucking eating it� it�s so much�� She's laughing her butt off at this point� �Oh!! I�ll get you snow boots sweetie! Your christmas present! Oh!! Oh!! No.. your birthday present!� �Oh christ!� Still fumbling and laughing� �I just had to call you� no one else would appreciate this moment�� She gives me another, �Awww�� �Yes, Shari� snow boots� we must get those�Aaaah!!� I eat it yet again� and she�s laughing. I continue, �Crap! Oh but it�s so beautiful man� uhhh� snow boots it is then� god I�m so unprepared�� �Why?� she asks� �Hello� I�m a fucking Floridian� this is new as hell to me� a freakin� surprise snow attack�� And it really was too� It�s been unseasonably cold� and snow doesn�t normally come around until late December� so I�ve been told� and it�s usually a bit more gradual� but this (as I found out later, and news reports�) was a full fledged snow storm� �Just wow, Shari�� �Well, honey�� she responds, �You are a New Yorker now�� And so I am� Holy shit� And so I am.
