make someone cry out of happiness
An intensely emotional moment. 4 years ago

I’m still not certain of how it happened or came about as there was no pretense involved in the whole situation, but it was just this outpouring of emotion. It was beautifully vulnerable and sensitive—and it made them that much more three-dimensional to me.

walk across the brooklyn bridge
Lots of soul. 4 years ago

I used to live in Brooklyn Heights, two blocks from where the Brooklyn Bridge empties out pedestrian traffic.

When I was unemployed for a little while back in 2002, I actually used to get up at about 9:00AM in the morning on the weekdays to run the bridge from Brooklyn Heights into the Financial District in Manhattan and back—the reason being because I knew that all the New Yorkers would be in their offices by then.

It really is quite peaceful.

The bridge is so old, that you can actually visualize New York being built from the ground-up when you stare at it for a long time. When you compare it to peer bridges such as the Manhattan, Triboro, Williamsburg, GWB, 59th Street, Queensboro—it’s just not as soulful. Most of those bridges are slabs of metal and concrete. Try walking the cabled and wooded Brooklyn Bridge and see what I mean.

run up the "rocky steps" in philly
Cough. Sputter. Cough. Wheeze. 4 years ago

I did this on a visit to my best friend’s apartment while he was living in Philly.

I only say this isn’t worth it because at the time I was blatantly out of shape and I wasn’t in the condition to be doing it. Man, did that hurt. Don’t bother doing it if you’re out of shape.

However, I do have to say it was fun trying. Throwing a couple of goofy punches and taking the steps on slower rather than faster (which is probably what I did) might make it easier.

I, unfortunately, cannot vouch for this personally being a positive experience for me at all, though.
