I find myself surrounded by the classic New York, A collection of moments, little pictures of what make up this small island and state we call home, an endorsement of multi life’s living as one. This morning as I enter the L train more commonly known to those who travel its straight line every day as the Love Train (I would say 5 times a day I fall in love in between it’s frozen interior) I seat and look around to see the amused faces at 11 am, the lucky one’s who can take the morning in leisure and enjoy the Ritual of the waking day, the glorious morning.
For those who ask, my mornings are quite structured. Wake at 7 am, the sunlight is my natural alarm shining gloriously through my wall of windows. I walk the 10 steps to my kitchen area, Have a moment with Piccadilly and Waterloo (The 2 new brother and sister kitty addition to the home, crazy and adorable) proceed to drink my glass of Orange Juice, no pulp and return to my desk, check my emails for any time urgent matters, converse with fellow co workers in Good old London before I take my personal 2 hours to work and compose on my little joy, music! The latest single Atheist Love is a tribute to no rules in Romance! 10 am towards the bathroom I march, my walls are Adorned and perfectly framed showcasing all my favorite things, No better way to start my Grooming Ritual but to be surrounded by one’s personal version of Heaven.
11 am on the train and the Entertainment begins. A young man journeys down the carriage, Screaming of his life, holding a box of chocolates in hands, Hmm chocolate, No must control myself! As Mr tempting chocolate seller man reaches the end of the carriage, the door opens to show 4 men holding guitars preparing to play, as the first string hits a note and the chorus of deep voices carry down the carriage we are joined by what can only be referred to as ‘that man is crazyyyyyy’! The man demand’s to sing as he staggers from left to right towards our on travel entertainment forcing the 4 men and their guitars out of fear to quickly begin their shuffle towards the other carriage taking there lives at risk as the Love train collects speed to connect from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Enter 5 young men, boom box in hand ready to jam. Swirl, jump, Flip, slap and chant, ‘that man is crazyyyyyy’ begins to request participation but quickly realizing even in his crazy state that these boys are here for business, let the performance begin and what a great performance worthy of the past Mr. Jackson.
We arrive to the hustle and bustle of Union Square, Strolling towards Crosby Street, passing the many faces and characters we here in New York City take for granted I stroll with an almost devilish smile as I observe 2 girls passing me fresh of Rhianna’s latest Mad Max inspired video, A collection of Dandy’s and gentleman perfectly Groomed, A older lady whom I am sure has a collection of men at her beck and call and of course the skater boys, The boys I always have a soft spot for from my days of car park youth shenanigans. It’s a full time job just walking the streets of this glorious city, Inspire to be and you can! I might buy an 'I love NY' shirt!!! Surely it is time for another Coffee…Amy where is my Coffee!!!! How hard is it to get coffee these days!!!!
