Finding a job in NYC is insane! The jobs posted on online listservs pay 12-15 dollars and hour for entry level positions. Great, that covers my rent and a slice of pizza. I'll just walk from uptown to downtown since I, a Magma Cum Laude college grad cannot afford the subway. whatever. So I spent two hours this morning sending out resumes then I noticed it was sunny outside. Screw this, I'll worry about this crap tomorrow. I took a walk around Central Park instead. I took pictures, I saw two men and their daughter fishing...she had a mini-fishing line...cute. I almost got ran over by three policemen on horses screeching, "Get out of the way!" please. talk about drama queens. you know they were just going to lunch and wanted to act like John Wayne. I talked to an old friend today who is my age and is married with a kid. She said if she was not married she would be right there beside me. She sounded wistful. It made me think, you know, we have to follow our own paths in life, one path is not better than the other, in the end it's just what makes us happy. We have to decide what kind of memories we want when we are old and even though they will be different they actually will also be similar---because they will all be memories of days that bring a smile to our face.
