Miss American Pie

"If it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully." Romans 12:8

The Left Frets as Obama courts the Right. Are you kidding?
Is it a make or break first week for our new President? Are these really our headlines America?
Your savior is letting you down because he's seeking the support of GOP officials. I thought you wanted us to come together man.... in peace and harmony. One Nation.
If you consciously threw your vote at yes we can and you believe him when he says Yes he will, then silence yourself and let the man do his job that you so earnestly gave him.

Meanwhile on the N, R, Q line, the LEFT track seemed to be favored, while I stood and waited for an Uptown express on the RIGHT. MMMMmm. Is this not a bi-partisan metro? Or is it a blue state thing?

Here is a short list that I found far more compelling today then Schwarzenegger signing his John Hancock in support of a Stimulus Package.
1. Snow-being from the South land, this is a phenomenon rarely experienced. The flakes have been falling since dawn's early light and have quickly dusted all of the Birch and Siberian Elms that line Union Square Park. A breathtaking sight and even better while you're walking down wind. It is fore casted to blanket the city through the night.
2.Undercover NYPD-they may look unsuspecting, but today I witnessed two different stealth black sedans sound their sirens to beckon off guard pedestrians to their open windows. And one young urban-esque man obviously on the street beat pull is badge from his North Face jacket to two swallowing vendors. Exciting stuff y'all.
3. Homeless/Street People- While everyone was bustling east on 17th Avenue, I stood dormant in amazement at a 6 ft 6 or more black male in his glory, air dribble, pass, and shoot what looked to be the winning point in the Knicks Championship Basketball Game, all the while running down the bike line on Fifth Avenue in soaking wet Chuck Taylors.
It may have been my best belly laugh of the week.
And while the experienced (jaded) may say that I will grow weary of these frequent goings-on, I reply with a resounding... Not any more weary than hearing the naysayers and fear mongers talk about the state of our economy.
I choose not to dance the disco freak out but to relish in the simple things.
Like hot apple pie on a cold day.

How is your fear serving you?
