“Lights Out, Words Gone”- Bombay Bicycle Club

Drive slow on a sunny, weekend morning near Brighton Beach to this song and watch all anxiety dissipate in the silent streets.

P.S.; completely unrelated to the music but I think I love you, Brooklyn.

goooddecisions answered your question: You’re entitled to protest but why disrupt the…

””“I’m sorry but every single organized protest throughout modern civilization has inconvenienced someone just trying to go about their day.

Could you be more specific?

Don’t get me wrong, I dont necessarily have anything against the movement. I just don’t see the value in the specific action of taking over the subway system. From the way I see it, shouting at people in the subway only serves to turn people away from the cause.

You’re entitled to protest but why disrupt the commute of people who are just trying to get to work?

Not a good look, occupy wall street.

villagevoice: FDNY Confiscates Occupy Wall Street’s Generators Whatever your point of view of the OWS crowd may be, this, combined with reports of police brutality simply cannot be a righteous answer.

“I and Love and You”- The Avett Brothers

For me, for her, and for the Sunday mornings spent in Brooklyn during that rare arc of the early hours. The point after we recovered our hearing sensation from the blaring music of the local nightlife, and before the rest of the city would wake in a haze and begin to collect itself once again for the work week.

The fried eggs and french toast over conversations about our dreams, the future, and our lives, and our intense hope for these three streets to intersect, someday.

We tried making things work, but we couldn’t bear with the changes in the seasons of our lives. I’m glad I can still call you a friend and even though we’ve moved on to distant area codes, I miss our conversations and I miss you. We’ve grown apart and we’ve grown up since then, but I cant honestly say that I don’t miss those mornings. 

Let’s try fighting over the bill after dawn again, sometime soon.

doctorswithoutborders: Join us in the streets of New York City to demand that World Leaders keep their promise to treat AIDS and stop the virus. June 8th is the first day of the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. World Leaders will gather to announce their commitments to fight global AIDS. Hanging in the balance will be the lives of the 10 million people who urgently need treatment, at a time when the latest science tells us that treating HIV not only saves lives, but also dramatically reduces—by 96 percent—transmission of the virus from one person to another. More info here. “… the death rate is dropping. In 2005 the disease killed 2.1m people. In 2009, the most recent year for which data are available, the number was 1.8m. Some 5m lives have already been saved by drug treatment.”- “Progressively Better,” The Economist. Join the rally this Wednesday at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York City.

Today, in things I don’t miss about living in the city.

“… a new breed of NYC subway rider has been discovered – the aggressive, quite-possibly deranged shoe-licking man.”
