something about the winter makes me think more. the cold weather has my brain working extra hard to keep me warm. i wrote-- actually thought-- a great song on the walk to the path train last night. i should've written it down, 'cause for the life of me i can't remember a single line now.

on another note, when i got off the elevator in my building yesterday, something caught my eye and had my brain fixated for longer than it should have. it's not an uncommon sight, something that most people wouldn't give a second thought. but it managed to capture my attention and now i'm even blogging about it. it's something i haven't seen in a while... something that just looked a bit out of place in my hallway... something that jarred memories, mixed emotions and a bit of homesickness. it was a plush, brown mat with the word "WELCOME" printed on it.

it also got me thinking about girls.
... and how come i don't have girls knocking on my door (figuratively).
and what kind of welcome mat i have laid out there.
haha.
