riding on the L today when a funny thing struck me.
the significance of the word "the".
it's the difference between feeling like "the shit" or "feeling shitty". . two polar opposite ideas.
amazing.
constantly fighting wanderlust, i've found a place to call home in nyc. i get excited about food whether it's eating it, taking pictures of it, pairing it with wine, or cooking, hanging out with my friends and family, traveling and exercising. i am a self professed, habitual planner and otherwise known as the social coordinator among my friends. i am excited about life, pursuing my dreams, and meeting quality people along the way.

Oooooo-kay! Time to pass the bong there, V...
ha ha.
puff puff pass.
no m'dear. . . more like the effect of running on 4-5 hours of sleep for the past few days.
no you're right. consider that short story (i think it might be james thurber's "cat bird seat"? anyway), which starts with, "he bought the pack of cigarettes at a store on the corner..." "the" is the most important word in that sentence.
also, don't forget those land rover billboards-- a photo of the car, then in block letters, "NOT 'A'--'THE'"
