i saw the sign
notes from work during idle time: written on 4/27/09
maybe it was just susan boyle, she sang les miserables' "i dream a dream" on the show "britain's got talent" which brought her on the front steps of sudden fame.
susan boyle, the woman who claimed to have never been kissed. this reminds me of drew barrymore's movie of the same name except we all know that she gets to find her love of a lifetime at the end of the movie. no, we aren't going to talk about love here, it's a cliche of a topic since time immemorial. despite the odds, love just happens so let's leave ms. boyle alone.
anyway, i am going to write about dreams. as they say in the movie "fools rush in", the sign is everywhere. for me, the word dream screams up even in my sleep. it started with susan boyle's winning piece, "i dream a dream" followed by several references to dreams wherever i go. the latest, being today at starbucks. as i waited patiently for my order, i chanced upon a magazine called "jeepney" which called itself a "street magazine" and upon reading the editorial, it struck me that it was about dreaming.
it was not a magazine that everyone would willingly consider as a first choice to read at a cafe. however, curiousity got a hold on me when the cover specified that p50.00 goes to your vendor, prompting me to grab a copy to compliment my coffee and cigarette.
