Today was a day to pop the ear buds in, stick the ipod in the coat pocket and head out. In heaven with John Mayer as I walked through Central Park, Taylor Swift kicked in walking down Fifth Avenue and then in perfect timing with the soundtrack of Crazy Heart, I saw man with pipe. How long had it been since I’ve smelled the sweet aroma of pipe tobacco. No one smokes a pipe anymore. I was intoxicated. Now mind you I had no agenda. Just walk the streets, listen to tunes and take in the sights. So I followed him about 5 blocks until he ducked in a restaurant all while I listened to Jeff Bridges’ Fallin & FLyin. The lyrics couldn’t have been more perfect:

I was goin’ where I shouldn’t go
seein’ who I shouldn’t see
doin’ what I shouldn’t do
and bein’ who I shouldn’t be

a little voice told me it’s all wrong
another voice told me it’s alright
I used to think I was strong
but lately I just lost the fight

funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while

I got tired of bein’ good
started missing that old feeling free
stop actin’ like I thought I should
and went on back to bein’ me

I never meant to hurt no one
I just had to have my way
if there is such a thing as too much fun
this must be the price you pay

funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while

you never see it comin’ till it’s gone
it all happens for a reason
even when it’s wrong
especially when it’s wrong

funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while
funny how fallin’ feels like flyin’
for a little while

I was goin’ where I shouldn’t go
seein’ who I shouldn’t see
doin’ what I shouldn’t do
and bein’ who I shouldn’t be

I’m the luckiest girl in the world. What a nice day. And…I loved Jeff Bridges in that movie.
