\t\t\t\tI have been running around Midtown today and yesterday. Doing this, un-doing that. Yesterday I had a breakthrough question for myself. A shocker, even. On Broadway by the Letterman theater I asked my bad self: Are you doing this for a living? This?”<\/p>\n
This is all I do. This. And what else is there? There will be other things but for now there is this. I am having fun with it. Fun with this. It might even be time to make a name for myself.<\/p>\n
….<\/p>\n
Today I remembered some self-contained hilarity from a couple of years ago. Sitting at a newly-opened Starbucks I was looking around when 4 overweight women and men entered the place with $3,000 DSLRs around their neck and $2,000 laptops in their $800 leather bags. I laughed and said “Oh look, the bloggers have arrived.” The bloggers turned out in force to cover the extraordinary event of a Starbucks opening in New York City. A dozen or more hypesters with their Nikons and Canons, snapping pictures of the place and blogging hard, outnumbered the paying customers (as they often do).<\/p>\n
It made me laugh. Then as now, I laughed.<\/p>\n
Today I wished I had a thousand lifetimes. Or at least 5 more chances to get this right.<\/p>\n
