Lawn Saint Corner

32nd Street Between 35th and 36th Avenues, Astoria Queens

Text Message Exchange and Video Clip Free Association Corner

I know this whole ‘corner’ thing is getting needlessly complicated, but I love some needless complication.

First, the text message exchange. ‘M’ signifies my friend Matthew, who is a truly superior person. ‘J’ signifies me.

J: I’m very busy stepping in paint and showing passersby the top of my ass when I bend over. [Note: I was painting a bunch of stripes in a store window as part of a freelance job.]

M: Ur ass is good for business!

J:  Ha! How much is that ass in the window?

M: I’m sure it ain’t for sale….:(

J: I am off the market, again.

M: Yeah, till ur not.

J: Yes. Till I’m not. I’m sure I’ll flail around again and fail. A complicated series of flailing and failing.

And now the video clip. From the Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime.
