Journal Bye Wayne... Lil
Monday, June 30, 2008 at 07:43PM I walked home from work today to expel the outrageous caffeine rush I had on an empty stomach. I hate coffee and don't know why I had some today but I had to walk it out. If I had decided to take the metro I probably would have freaked out. I'm walking down Lexington and my iPod is on shuffle, the sun glimmers off of the Chrysler building as I walk past Grand Central as Bob Dylan's Oh Sister winds to a close. It felt good to be alive. As the last seconds ticked down I tried to anticipate the next song hoping for a worthy follow-up so I could avoid having to dig in my pocket to press the forward button. I should start making playlists but there is a strange mystique behind the shuffle function, it excites me.
Money on my mind, money on my mind, money is all I think about. FUCK. I thought I deleted this song. I was about to reach into my pocket and press the double arrows forward. Then I saw them... The suits. Suits and skirts everywhere. This is going to be entertaining I thought. It was a little bit but then it hit me. I know how to give this song a proper farewell. There is only one place I would want to be. Not Harlem, not Bed-Sty, no that street where wealth is manufactured. Wall Street here I come.
I'm going to go down there sometime this week around lunch time or shortly before 4 pm. I might even bring my camcorder. Its just too much, its like a sensory overload for me. I'll just walk around silently mocking everyone around me. The suits, oh sister, the suits I tell you its gold, pure gold. I'm a cynical bastard sometimes and the great lengths I will go to satisfy my lust for a good laugh is ridiculous.
