love and tragedy

sarah was in town a few weeks back. she recently posted some pictures and two are worth sharing as they both tell two heart-touching stories - one of love, the other of tragedy.

as i've mentioned in past posts, i discovered inline down in the village a few months back and my life hasn't been the same since. we continue to enjoy an on-going love affair. i love this pic, partly because i'm vain and i like seeing myself play inline hockey, but mostly because it's a cool pic that captures the essence of my favorite ny activity. nice work sarah.


truth be told, inline's love couldn't have come at a more ideal time; my heart had just been broken by vespa and i was considering bungee jumping off the brooklyn bridge without a bungee cord. inline rescued me.

i met vespa back in july and we quickly fell in love. it wasn't a superficial love. it was deep and real and meaningful, much like my relationship with veronica coleman in the 4th grade. because davis tends to be attracted to girls i like, it should come as no surprise that he started dating vespa's twin sister. the affect vespa had on my life was very similar to the affect her sister had on davis. life was just good with vespa in it.

then one morning she was gone, literally taken by a thief in the night. my heart broke. tragic really.

fortunately davis is generous and he shares his vespa with me. i'm allowed to ride it from 1:00 am - 6:00 am, tuesday - thursday. but he made a special exception since sarah was in town. and we spent friday night touring the city. we had a great time and it was so much fun to hang out. but this pictures make me miss my vespa.
