times i wished i lived in new york

ok, so everybody knows i hate new york. i've just never connected with the city. i could never relax there. everything was so busy and intense and overwhelming. but, well, those are just my impressions from visiting there.

but then yesterday, for the holiday, i watched the six-hour documentary on pbs, Broadway, the American Musical, which told the story of the broadway musicals from the very beginning of the 20th century until today. fascinating history. and i realized the good that i was missing from new york. i kept thinking how wonderful it would be to be amongst all the creativity and renewal and playful intelligence. and i wished that i had the ability to go to all the different musicals and plays just to consistently renew my heart and mind and soul. movies and television just aren't the same. i want to be among the creative, heartful, loving, and artistic geniuses of the theater.

but i'm not one to live in new york. san francisco suits me much better. but then, maybe i'll visit there more often. and i'm sure visiting Sparky would give me the key to unlocking the City's beauty as well.
