Happy Thoughts

i saw A Little Girl last night. carrying a purse big enough for her mom. wearing the cutest little pink dress. i saw her watching her dad come off the plane. and with barely a nudge from her mom, she launched out, running. shiny black patent leather shoes clattering past all the "Do Not Enter" signs that she was too young to be able to read, past all the security agents, who did nothing as she lauched into her daddy's arms.

i saw the bliss that was theirs...

...and i smiled.



i listened to The Pirate Song today. i wasn't even sure it was on that cd. but it was. and i heard the ending, where isaac and jon and, i think, rachel all said, "ARRGGHH!!", even though it wasn't planned.

i remembered good friends and good times...

...and i laughed out loud.



now, tonight, i'm listening to Brian Rowe's By The Way. over and again right now. it's been running through my head all day long:


hey, it's me. i'm doin' fine.
sorry i cant find the time to see you.
i'm movin' soon. a week or so.
just thought i'd write this note to tell you.
and by the way, i'm gettin' married.
so, have a nice life.

hey, it's me. i hope you're fine.
i'm sorry you cared so much about me.
you thought you knew me. but you were wrong.
i never wanted you to see me.
and btw, i'm gettin' married.
so, have a nice life.

have a nice life...without me.
i'm no good for you.
i hope that you're not angry.
have a nice life...i'm sorry,
for the time you wasted,
the love you wasted on me.

hey, it's me. this is good-bye.
have a nice life.
have a nice life.


...and i cried.
