Bird Kill


This hawk decided to eat lunch with the rest of us over-consumptive cows in the Financial District. I guess he rocketed out of the sky, got his claws into that poor pigeon and immediately started tearing him apart as we all watched from afar. Occasionally he'd lift his blood-soaked beak and look at as all with a powerful gaze that said, "This is my lunch and I'm not sharing. Now get back to work."

This is kind of how I'm feeling this week. Watch out because I could go in for the kill.

The "Curse for a Cause" fund tops $700

I haven't slept much this week. And I'm wondering if I should stop the fast a week early. Either that or have a cigarette. I think I like bad behavior. Maybe that's why I was fascinated by the bird. That was complete bad behavior for a bird of prey. But then I thought, maybe the boozing, sugar high, overpriced coffee and potty mouth aren't really bad behavior, maybe they're just behavior.

I'll let you know how the smoking goes.

And here's the thing. Even WITH alcohol, caffeine, sugar, swearing, and even a cigarette... you might still be feeling like going in for the kill.

I'm right there with you, friend. Hang in there. I will too (and I'm not even fasting!). xo
