Things Learned in LA

Things Learned in L.A.

- For an Irish-Jew, I actually do get a little bit tan
- Wearing powerlifting t-shirts ALL THE TIME is not being fashionably responsible nor is it being culturally relevant
- Apparently man-kapris are acceptable even if you do not yearn for the touch of another man (I still disagree but am willing to concede…)
- Not all Jews were meant to count money (i.e.: my lack of ability to do simple math)
- I can’t run around and play basketball for longer than 7 – 8 minutes at a clip or I risk heart failure
- There is no need for traffic to maintain a healthy ebb and flow. Rather it can exist at all times – even 3a.m.
- In-N-Out Burger is the greatest fast food chain EVER!!! (Wendy’s is a close second)
- Break dancing is still cool, even 20 years after the fact.
- I look hot in plaid shorts
- I’m hot.

There’s a lot more but I’m good with that.

For Miles

i know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn
and all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes
and on that day when we look backwards we will see, that everything is changed
and all of our trials, will be as milestones on the way

and as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart
and there's no greater love, than that one shed his blood for his friends

on that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right
all our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight
but until then all of our scars will still remain, but we've learned that if we'll
open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal

(as long as we live, we are bridges to someone broken heart
there's no greater love, shed your blood for your friends)

we must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live
we must open up these wounds
when some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood
there's no greater love. we must open up our wounds
