I noticed a boy about my age, maybe a couple years older, standing by the big, white-and-gold French doors. He was barefoot with messy golden-blonde hair, and dressed in a suit that looked brand-new. His hands were overlapping in front of him. I hadn’t realized I was gawking, until he smiled sincerely at me. I smiled back hesitantly.

“Cecilia,” said Lucille in her melodic voice, “this is Edward Brown.” She motioned—her hand looked like it was dancing—to the astonishing boy on the porch.

He walked over to me without making a sound and held out his hand. I shook it; surprised by the fact his naked feet didn’t seem bothered by the scorching concrete.

“Hello,” he said, smiling genuinely again. His eyes were light brown and looked like they were laughing.

“Hi,” I replied, smiling as sincerely as I could under the circumstances. He appeared okay. If I would get to see him while I was here there would at least be one good thing about this hell.

I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.

...But the heart-strong never listen, they whimsically fly forward as if they had been gifted with wings.
And once the flutter began my feet never touched the ground.
Unfortunately, though, with every flight there has to be a landing.
Whether it's a soft touch down or a flame-filled crash and burn it always comes to an end.
And so charred I became that not an ounce of moisture could be found for the tears.

~ me in a poem about heartbreak.

I'm really not a Woody Allen so every time he says something I don't find it funny nor insightful. But the quote did make me chuckle a big. So, I'll give it 7/10.

Customer: So, is it true then. Do blondes have more fun?
Me: No, but I have been feeling my IQ drop all morning if that counts for something.
