Come On Darkness

Apparently this month is the month you wanna be in if you're looking to study meteor showers. Of course, I will see none of it since living in NYC means living as if a light bulb is glued to the inside of your goddam eyelids. Sigh.

Fucking light pollution sucks.

That's one thing I miss about down home, how fucking dark it gets without all the artificial lighting like we have here in NYC. The kind of dark where it's possible to have no idea someone is standing five feet in front of you. Seeing taillights across the river slowly move along a bridge a few miles away. Such darkness has always been comforting to me, and I think I get depressed sometimes being in the big city where there's never absolute darkness - that omnipresent pink hue of light drives me fucking bananas. It's like that awful feeling as a kid of going to bed when it's still light outside.
