i wondered if drunken santa bar crawl is a new york thing as i stepped out of the subway in the late morning to get to work. there were five young guys dressed as santas heading to i'm guessing times square. and they definitely weren't the last group of santas i encountered today. on the way back home i passed by mid-manhattan library choked full of people (quarter locals, quarter tourists, quarter santas, quarter elves) and right before i entered the bryant park station i overheard someone saying "now are you feeling the spirit of christmas?" and wanted to reply no surrounded by those mocking old saint nick.
december 21st is approaching fast. i don't believe the world is going to end but i do know that for some people the world has already ended. there has been too many news of deaths and it feels as though i'm surrounded by not just fake santas but also mourners.
it's a quite somber december.
