Bummer: When the beautiful woman you made eye contact with gets off the train before you can figure out how to begin a conversation.

Damn shame: When you realize - a station later - that she got off at your stop….

    There has to be a pithy phrase for this phenomenon.

    dont think shell forget aboutcha mikey. shell be cursing you out to her girlfriends, talking about the cute guy train who didnt say nothing to her.

    !

    but let me tell you whats worse…
    snagging the attention of a honey - nice eyes, body, establised artist, teaching art to little kiddies (Awwwwwwwwwwwww) - giving him your number, and then having him tell you that hell call you tonight.

    and well…its been one long ass night, man.

    poopsie, how the hell areya? i finally checked out jons site in some detail, and saw that you had one too.

    i love you blog. its crisp, and intelligent.

    i think when you and jon walk down the street with your mom, people think that she either adopted you guys or else that youre visiting an old favortie matriarch from the group home you used to live in or an old counselor from your fresh air fund camp.

    i shed a tear for ‘Armaggedon’ too. this is the one where somebody had to sacrifice themselves for humanity, right? they had to stay behind and blow up something but would have to blow themselves up in the process, right? i felt that shit depp yo. got me scared - could i ever make such a sacrifice? i also cried when I saw ‘Gladiator’; this is the only movie in my life ive paid to see twice.

    and thats my 2 cents.

    A Cryin’ Shame: When you work your schedule so you can spend the next month riding that train at that exact hour and when at long last you catch her and wander over to work your melodious mike magic, you notice her adam’s apple.
