So where was I? New York City! ok so I'm heading back to where I am staying in Long Island, it's a two hour train ride.........I hate that America is so big!
Its packed but Im happy my Ipod still has life in it, and I'd purchased the book 'Fight Club' to read, seeking inspiration in all the wrong place's, but Im a firm believer in it's teachings (is that why i bought a new pair of Nikes????)
Across the train from me is a woman, she seems nice probably late 40's/ early 50's she is working away on some notepad, keeping herself busy. After a while she opens up her handbag and proceeds to pull out loads and I mean loads of scratch cards. She then goes about the business of rubbing away the silver foil in hope of a win. No luck as I don't see her jumping out of her seat, but admist all the weariness of New York I say a prayer in my head that she will win! Can one person smile on this train!
I forgot to mention earlier in the day, I took a train from Rhode Island to NYC and with this I crossed over the Mystic river, and that brought about many memories of days and years before! Just like the van morrisson song
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I dont have to fear itI want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...
So thats the kind of mood I'm in, wishful soulful thinking of a better day.
I really want to write positive stuff I really do but I am not in that frame of mind.
I must be a walking disaster!
So music today is Van the man!
Van Morrison..................................Old lonely road music, forget Brown eyed girl!
