Still waiting in line...

Hey you!

It's a new day, and a blank page awaits a literary delivery of the day's events. So, here goes.

Today's subject is, "there's enough for everyone, but I'm still waiting in line". 

Indeed, this quote belongs to Natasha Bedingfield's song, Soulmate. 

As I take moderately-slow sips on my Lo-Carb MONSTER energy drink, which I got for free from a man--not a random man, I promise--near Astor place, I reflect on my day....keep reading:

1. Digesting the realness of being down to my last 40 beans (beans=dollars): It's amazing how there are so many jobs, and places that claim to be hiring, most of which, I've applied to, but I'm still waiting in line for a freaKin' job! For the sake of goodness, it's NYC. If you know of any places that are hiring, let me know, please. 

???Q. Am I just not trying/searching hard enough, or am I being too picky...?

2. Story of the Day: Today, towards the end of 4th street's block party, I saw a good-looking chocolate man who had mile-long dreads. 

Several times, we connected through eye contact and a smile. Now, I don't mean to be conceited. But, I'm almost certain that while I was helping with clean up after the event--without pay, of course--he was on the side, sitting on his bike. I'm almost Absolutely positive that he was waiting for me. Little did he know, it was gonna take a bit more time than he thought, for me to be off duty. Anywho, on with the important part of the story. Every now and then, I'd look at the spot where I knew he was waiting, to see if he was still there. After four glances--with decent timing in between--he was still there in that same spot, and of course we looked and smiled at each other during those four glances. Here's where the story twists: I went further up the block to help the stage crew, and (lol) when I "retreated back to headquarters", he wasn't there. My chocolate man was gone with the wind. 

Relevance to today's subject? 

Well, some say there's somebody for everybody, but, I'm still waiting in line for my somebody. 

?Q. Why is it that some of the sweetest and most down-to-earth women are still single?

??Q. Why is that when you've got a man (or a woman), everybody wants to holler at you, but when you're single, sometimes it's like you're invisible?

???Q. Could it truly be that some of us single ladies are trying too hard to validate ourselves through involvement with a man, and we've got to truly learn to love ourselves and love love before we can gain or appreciate love from a partner?

????Q. When you've found that "somebody" will you truly know that the search is over?

Hmmm..., what do you think? what questions could I add to my list...?

This is Soulmate by Natasha Bedingfield.
