Today there was a man that got crushed when a 400 lb. crate fell off a forklift and right on top of him. I know, cuz i was there...shortly after the fact.

And it made me sick to my stomach.

and I odn't kno what happened to him but i'm sure it wasn't anything good.

Ad then I walked to the empire state building where there are 86 floors and lots of tourists and lots of wind and lots of cold and lots of view and lots of small overpriced items with "I heart NY" on them.

And i bought a sad magnet of the twin towers.

It was $4.99.

Today I took a cab to the Stage Deli where I ate fried kreplachs, a corned beef on rye and half a black and white cookie. I washed it down with a cold, Brooklyn Lager.

Today I saw a guy walking a gorgeous bulldog down 5th Avenue and I wanted to pet it but I was too far and he was walking too fast.

Today I shopped at Bendel's and tried on a confusing blouse that cost $198. But it was too perplexing so I didn't buy it.

Today I accidentally ditched my boss which gave me the freedom to listen to Jason Mraz, Palo Alto, Stereophonics and Joss Stone and bee bop at every street corner that had a red light and no green man.

Today I played the "Step Right, Step Left" game with a man coming directly towards me. We played it until we were face to face and each of us just stopped walking and that was the part where i busted out laughing and the we finally each stepped in the opposite direction and the game was over and walking was resumed.

He didn't laugh.

Today I walked through Bryant Park shortly after I took pictures of the handsome lion statues standing guard outside the NYC Library.

Today I listened to Jeff Buckley with my eyes closed while in the back of a car headed for JFK.

Today I'm finally going home.
