The spring is probably my favorite time of year. Everyone
shakes off their layers of indoor winter dust and puts on some sort of pastel
skin exposing nonsense shirt and ventures outdoors just for the sake of being
outdoors. Moods are instantly elevated in the sunshine and people begin to act
a little more human—like smiling and nodding where virtually impossible in the
dead of winter. I love the spring but I hate the influx of baby strollers, oh
the horror of city sidewalks filled with power moms and their little poop
machines! I mean, I’m cool with kids just not other people’s kids. I can’t wait
to have a little version of me to play with, how crazy is that someday I will
create a tiny creature and teach it the ways of the world.
I hope it’s a hot baby; otherwise I don’t know how nice to
it I will be able to be to it.
But seriously, now that everyone is lounging out on the
grass in Central Park mating season has begun. Hormones or pheromones or
whatever it is that controls our crazy actions are wafting around like a haze
of Halal street vendor stench that just lingers on your jacket after you walk
through a patch of it.
I went on the best walk today, took some pictures while
doing so, but just really got my walk on. Strolling more than anything, people watching
as a recreational sport. I love just creating life stories for the random
people I see—inserting things that those sad souls may never come to experience
and snickering to think that they actually might have. You should spend an
afternoon in my head; my poor kid will be in for a treat someday.
I have been going on lots of walks lately, trying to meet
new people, it’s still pretty weird in my house… I am just tired of thinking
about it. I want to move on already. I don’t know what everyone wants from me.
So, I just keep on walking.
