SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10th 8:03 PM

Sometimes, the best part of my day is crawling into bed. Especially on a Sunday.

AMERICAN SPIRITS

WHY WRITE????

Why do I spend so much time at this broken down typewriter? Isn't it just a big waste of time? I could watch television or get into a game of cards or some other recreation. And what is so great about writing? There is an answer and I will try to tell about why in the following paragraphs. 

Something happens to the inner side of me when I sit down to type. I just get completely lost in what I am doing. It is just like I have entered a different world. My imagination is at it's highest peek. I am kind of floating in a sea of thoughts. I am lost in thought, please don't disturb. I want to be alone. 

The spoken word is very volatile. It disappears into the atmosphere and does not stay with us. It is gone until spoken again. It only has instant impact. Words are usually soon forgotten. 

A written message is different, it does not disappear and can not be altered, unless rewritten. Interpretations by others might differ, but the wording remains the same. 

Some times I have an instant desire to say something, but when I do say it it doesn't come out right. What I say and what I mean are often different. I am not a good speaker. But, let me at this old typewriter biding my time, I think I do a much better job of expressing my true feelings. Some thing just builds inside of me and my one finger just keeps on telling me what I am thinking. I think That I do a better job when this old machine and I are to-gether. We get along. I just love to type. Ideas come easier when I do. I wish I had found this out earlier in my life.

Thoughtfully still, clouded and clear, heartless spirit, mindlessly racing, enlightened, provoking, suffocating clarity, up down, chained freedom, silence, clamor, bleakness, euphoric warmth, death, life.

Lidewij Edelkoort, who started Trend Union as her forecasting agency is nothing less than brilliant.

Everything is beautiful but everything is ugly. 

One minute you find yourself at peace on the train amongst the sea of strangers, the next, you want to murder the person next to you. 

Dinner was one hundred a person, or dinner was one dollar pizza night. 

You are completely enthralled in the social scene, yet the next night it feels lonely amongst the crowds.

Running a million miles a minute and yet time couldn't move any slower while waiting for the crazy lady in the check out lane at Duane Reade.

Dirty and sweating through everything trying to make a meeting on time, then dressed up to stay up all night. 

New York is the city of contradiction. 

A gorgeous contradiction when you sit on a friend's roof in the Bronx sharing drinks, the lights from the city glowing just across the way.
