new monday

Missed the 813 by maybe 3 seconds. It kind of angers me because the conductors do that thing where they look back out the window and see you but don't make eye contact as the doors have shut -- it's their formal way of non-verbally communicating that "you were two seconds too late and there's nothing you can do about it." I don't care that much, I just think it's rude in a passive-aggressive way.

Saw an old acquaintance/friend today while going west on 33rd -- shouted to him as I made my way toward the giant "Hangover" ad, which formerly adorned "Inception" and a mafia-inspired video game. Wearing the black shirt & sweats today as it could resume raining. I'd like to run today. My legs are sore but this will be a necessity and it will be worth it, even if I don't break any personal records. Have 2 shows after work this week so I'll be dressed in a dapper fashion Tues & Weds and don't want to wear nice clothes while sweating profusely.

As I crossed the Highway this morning the moderate winds were meshing well with the artificial ones in the live version of AC / DC's "Thunderstruck."

There's a film crew a quarter block south of Chelsea Piers today -- looked at first like a news crew but they have that reflector there. I couldn't make out anybody famous or noteworthy.

Reading the new Men's Health today -- some interesting news and ideas but nothing revolutionary. I like when they explain how calories get broken down once ingested -- always a good refresher course.

I think the depression has run its course -- I just needed some sleep, two hard workouts and finishing the Kerouac book. I'm sure the on-and-off rain of last week didn't help much and we'll see how this week goes.

Playlist:
GNR - "Street of Dreams"
The Cult - "Rain," "Coming Down"
Gnarls Barkley - "Storm Coming"

Thank you for reading.
