I’m always stunned at the potpourri of phrases and conversations that you can come across while walking the streets of New York.  To me, it represents an idea that we are all moving through life in what we think are direct paths, but are actually vectors that can be pushed, manipulated, and otherwise influenced by all the other vectors of other people’s lives that collide with our own.  In other words, life is chaos, and there is no better reminder than the wierd, rediculous, stupid nonsense that comes out of people’s mouths.  Here is a great list of things overheard in new york.  I swear I never said any of them.
