ah.. parties are fun. every time i come back from a break of partying, i remember how much i adore it.. so, i went to NYC this weekend, did the danceydancey thing and just shook my booty for hours amongst good people in a weird place ($4 a bottle of water, no tap, no bathroom water.. grr..) one DJ spun “Give Peace a Chance” for 12 minutes at the Daylight Savings Time which made me quite happy, particularly amongst such an international crowd still so shook up from 9/11. i have also been having a fabulous time getting to know this small crew of folks up in Boston called the Hartley House.. very chill people. in particular, this one kid A reminds me of friends back home.. and it’s fun, a reality check to see the level of privilege i have managed to acquire over the years… damn that’s a needed reality check.

then on Sunday, i went to J & L’s benefit for work – the AIDS project in RI.. it was really cool to see all the gay boys shaking it down, enjoying life and whatnot.. of course, it was unbelievable to see my friends, but that’s a given…

ah yes, it feels good to be living life again rather than just observing it.
