shopping SPREE

Shilpa and I ducked down to Union Square over the weekend, and while I usually try to avoid Union Square and the insane shoppers and oblivious tourists, in the Christmas madness there is a fun energy to the whole thing. And of course I love all of the ridiculous decorations.

Standing in the star in front of Macy's, I decided we had to take photos. This, however, meant stationing the camera across the street and visually dodging traffic. It was all worth it though, and we both felt a giddy sort of rush from the abject silliness of it all. Only after posing did I notice the two professional photographers covering the "shopping bonazna" scene, and they quickly pounced to catch my pose. And later Shilpa's. I believe we made it into some papers somewhere.

The whole laughable experience made me realize one thing (which bore tweeting):


Life is more fun when you have no shame.

It's sad what joy people don't feel because they are afraid someone will look at them.

Dance like no one's watching! I'm just grateful I can hear the music.

Just listen to the music of the traffic of the City.
