today NYC smelled like ...
p-i-s-s.

P.U.

O.K. what does that abbreviation stand for anyway?
no, i know what it means, but where does it come from...like origin?
well, whatever or wherever it comes from/ means, all i know is that I was thinking it alot today from the wiffs i got today: NYC smelled like piss.

PEE ME?

okay, yes i did a check to see if it was me and assuredly and thankfully, no it was not.

it must be the combination of warm weather/ no breeze, or because it's the end of a summer weekend when all the tourists are here [i'm not saying tourists are stinky...well they might be, but i didn't see any people with shopping bags in hand peeing on the sidewalk]. it might just be that ALOT of people in NYC cannot find bathrooms at the appropriate moment when nature calls.

a co-worker at COLONY MUSIC told me it took him an hour and 45 minutes to get home last night after we closed at 1AM [about a hour and 15 minutes too long because the MTA was doing their nightly upgrades on the red line]. he said he was "pissed" it took so long and then he told me that because he was stuck in the subway waiting on the number 2 to take him home he couldn't hold it any longer and went number 1 at the end of the subway platform. no one saw his crime. he then went on to smoke 2 cigarettes on the platform [also a crime].

so i'm sure there are hundreds of stories like that to add to the murky cloud of that all too familiar yucky odor.

but that doesn't explain why even the nice neighborhoods and the edge of central park i walked thru smelled like stale urine. on my way home, i had to drop off a music transcription to a client who is staying at the ritz hotel. yep, smelled it there, too. really, i checked and double checked that i was not the culpret.

hmmm....

but just as i arrived home outside the entrance of my loft, i smelled something wonderful: flowers at the flower stand....it made up for all the piss i smelled today.

i sure hope things freshen up a bit for monday or i'm going to have to start carrying a bottle of fabreze with me.
