3,000 miles from New York

September 1, 2004 By pia

I know that New York can survive without me, but can I survive without it? Last night I spent all night debugging my laptop and blogging instead of being out. Bad. this morning the headlines in The LA Times said 9,000 people were arrested. Was early. Saw the famed Santa Monica farmers market being set up. Justly famed as I… View Post

Doesn't seem possible

August 31, 2004 By pia

The sun’s setting over the Pacific. It’s shades of pink mixed with some yellow and a blue but not too blue sky. So peaceful; so satisfying. Hard to believe that just yesterday morning I was debating going home so that I could be part of the streets of New York. If it weren’t for my friends (who are my family)… View Post

Sisters

August 31, 2004 By pia

I was just thinking about how my sister is the only person to appreciate my singing when she called. Told her that and she said, “but you’re so unique, and you’re a great dancer also.” Only as sister can say that as I’m tone deaf and dance well–actually I can but not to any known steps. She called to say… View Post

speaking of a revolution–and coincidences

August 31, 2004 By pia

http://www.steveearle.com/blog.html When I’m anxious, bored, trying to stay awake or just curious I scroll through lists. Weird hobby I know. In one of my previous posts I talked about a man I used to live with and how if he could have just conquered his demons (yeah, easy I know) he might have lived to become similar to Steve Earle….

R-e-s-p-e-c-t

August 31, 2004 By pia

Yesterday or the day before, I posted a seemingly contradictory post. Said that Ground Zero is just a construction site, and said that it is sacred ground filled with ashes. Meant both. It took me two years exactly to get to Ground Zero, and when I saw it I felt nothing. Nothing at all. It’s been harder to look down… View Post

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.
