I must be high on Sudafed After corresponding with meg about brown eggs and white eggs I walk home, still laughing out loud thinking about the The Jakob Nielsen Drinking Game and everything is crisp and full of potential. I glance at the beautiful people in Greenich Village; the usually-cheesy neon and restaurant lights instead look like It’s A Beautiful Life. I stop in my local pizzaria and the wide receiver on television is the most graceful person I’ve ever seen. At home I’m humming and moving to some crazy rap-inspired Budweiser commercial; a documentary on women’s suffrage quoting Elizabeth Cady Stanton brings me to tears…
We come into the world alone, unlike all who have
gone before us; we leave it alone under circumstances peculiar to
ourselves. No mortal ever has been, no mortal over will be like
the soul just launched on the sea of life. There can never again be
just such environments as make up the infancy, youth and
manhood of this one. Nature never repeats herself, and the
possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another. No
one has ever found two blades of ribbon grass alike, and no one
will never find two human beings alike. Seeing, then, what must
be the infinite diversity in human, character, we can in a
measure appreciate the loss to a nation when any large class of
the people in uneducated and unrepresented in the government. – Elizabeth Cady Stanton
