Sweeeeeeeet Redemption

Lower Lows

    I ventured into the unknown last night... Lose my jacket at the coat check.   I walk around in the freezing cold weather for a bit... Go to my friends house and go to sleep on the floor after giving up on trying to secure a spot on one of the couches... Wake up, curse the sunlight... Go to the bathroom and look at the man in the mirror... The BIGGEST bags have formed under my eyes, I almost didn't recognize myself... I take a bite of 3 day old carrot cake... Stumble onto the NYC streets in my friends XXL Nike hoodie; I looked like a homeless person... The worst part:  A bum is asking for people for money on the street corner but he doesn't ask me!  WTF?

Higher Highs 

Get HOME... Wash my face and brush my teeth.. Have a fat cup of tea... My friend calls me to meet up... I go through my mail and there is a slip for package pick up on 14th street... I leave my house listening to Where Do I Begin by the Chemical Brothers (If I was filming my morning this song would be featured at some point)... I'm walking down the street to this song sickkkkkkkkkkkk stroll to the post office... I pick up the package and tear into it.  My friend sent me homebaked peanut butter cookies for my birthday... I eat one as I go back outside...  I reach the corner of 14th and 1st at the exact moment my friend exits the subway... We go back to my apartment to drink tea and eat cookies...  We go to Odin and I buy a really warm sweater for 79$!!!!.... Then I go with my friend to the fabric store so she can get fabric swatches... I look through W magazine... We take the R train to Prince street and laugh at passengers... Then we go to Lovely Day and sip on  Bloody Marys (one of the best I've had)... I write a couple pages of script and go through some of my tape recorder (!)... We leave and cruise the streets... Go to a vintage shop where I find one of the coolest jackets ever (now I realize I should have taken a picture...).  An army style jacket with the Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens album cover HAND stitched, covering the entire back. $1,000... Then we went to the cafe under the American Appareal Ad... I wrote some more.  I wrote 6 pages today!!!!!! EXCITEMENT... Then we went back to my apartment and watched Annie Hall... Then I met with some friends at Angels Share... We walked to Belmont... I had a couple glasses of water and a chicken club sandwich... I laughed a lot.  When I hang out with these three people for some reason all of us laugh, all the time.  I would say 80% of the time we spend together as a group, we are laughing... Then I came home... I search for the dance song with the line 'Now that the love is gone.' And find this:  ...  Then I laugh to myself as blood pours out of my ears... Then I write this... Then I try to sleep... In MY BED at 12:30am!
