When I owned the world

February 11, 2006 By pia

Little Pia Buddah[1].JPGThis isn’t the best picture of me, but I could scan and seperate it. My dad loved his Konica which was old even then. We were the only family to be photographed in glorious black & white, and when we moved to a “rich” area, we were the only family to have only one TV, and yes it was black & white. Somehow after my sister and I left home, my parents ended up with four color TV sets. People kept on giving them to us! Well, not me, my parents, who went from hardly ever watching TV to yelling at me for not watching TV.
Hey I was just seven; thought the world was mighty great place to be part of. Lived in NorthEast Queens, where not everybody is a fat man with a beautiful wife on a sit com. Though Weight Watchers did start in the garden apartment complex next to ours. Don’t know what that means, but I thought I would throw it in!

    You remind me a bit of the little girl from those Pepsi commercials without all the curls. Remember her? Hallie Eisenberg, only cuter.:)

    Any resemblance now?

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
