shame is so in this season

street sweet sweeper

walking to the subway this morning i saw a deck of magic cards strewn about on the sidewalk, spilling into the street and under some parked cars. the scene was so... forlorn. i could almost hear the dorks crying.

then going down the stairs at the centre street entrance i saw my soulmate. it was a guy who was eating a chocolate ice cream cone at 9 in the morning. yes, ice cream for breakfast... my hero.

and finally, walking the last 2 blocks to work in times square i encounter a pair of men quite desperate to look like ryan seacrest... fake tans, bleached hair, and crest white strips smiles. and to seal the deal, disco colored button down shirts buttoned way way down. note: it's about 30 degrees outside. it looked like they came straight from the marcus schenkenberg school of tacky male modeling. either that or crobar. so yeah, i snickered. what, you wouldn't?
