On airports and New York.

I have a four hour delay to New York because they’re in the midst of a blizzard. I think I’ll try to post one blog entry an hour till I board.

I think Starbucks is pretentious for their labeling of sizes (tall, grande, venti). So when I order I just say small, medium, or large. But then I think I’m pretentious for making such a point to be un-pretentious.

I just saw the cutest old man. He was hunched over his Blackberry shifting his head up and down to read something through his bifocals. He was wearing black Converse, skinny grey jeans, and a khaki Carhart. I may have winked at him.

I’m going to take a barf bag with me to the Bodies Exhibition in NYC. Just in case.

Going to New York tends to stress me out. I feel like I have to be at this peak of fashion and practicality. I’m trying something new this time. It’s called – staying warm and not caring. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I never thought I’d see Wicked without Melanie. But I am. And it’s more bitter than sweet. So maybe I won’t.

The hero worship for Obama I see makes me nervous. The office he is about to take asks for our respect and support. But he is a man. Just like George Bush. Just like Bill Clinton. Just like Richard Nixon. Just like JFK.

I wish guys and girls would be more honorable with each other. And realistic.

I’m just now pondering the irony of the fact that I had box seats to a Monster Truck Rally.

Everything really is from the Lord. So when it’s taken away, there’s nothing truly lost. Right?

    as an employee of starbucks, i’d like to apologize for the pretentiousness that is both exhibited and felt. medium, grande, 16oz, regular. i know what they mean, and so should everybody else, starbucks employees included.

    also, it’s refreshing to hear someone who shares my exact same sentiment of our new president. i wish success for our country to be brought about by him, but i don’t wish for a 50-foot golden statue of him in my backyard. he is human, and if history tells us anything, actions speak much louder than words in the long run.

Say Something ...and it better be smart!
