it's a rat race man. there's left-handed jughandles, everyone's going like 90 miles an hour. congestion can get pretty bad. you can see all the taillights of all the cars in front of you and you're um heading towards New York City through the Meadowlands. all roads lead to New York and there are just these sort of concrete barriers that are really close to the side view mirror of your car. it feels like uh you're going to hit 'em but you never really do. i don't know what else to say, i'mma hang up. the highway is a snapshot of humanity. whenever I'm in somebody's car on the highway i get really quiet and people think it's because i don't want to talk to them and i just like to watch the other drivers 'cause when i watch them, i get to see so many different types of people, experiencing all these different types of things. and sometimes i look over and i see a bunch of friends on a trip together, laughing, and having a good time. and i get excited about the next time that that'll be me and i'll get to do that with my friends. and i'll look over sometimes and i'll see a really happy family together and i think about how bad i want that someday then other times i'll look over and i'll see a family having an argument and i wonder if they're always like that and hope they're not. and then i'll look over at another car and i'll see somebody who's really upset. and i wonder what's the next thing that's going to get me upset. what's coming for me. concrete lines, people who love cars stuck in between other people who love cars. the full spectrum of life and people and i can't think of anything else that brings us all together like that without us even realizing it or or or trying to do that on purpose it just sort of happens.
