I just wish that life was like this. (Clip from Free to Be, You and Me.) Of course, now when I look at it I can only wonder if this is what people in the 70's did before the orgies started, to sort of break the ice. But when I was three years old this segment was just the perfect expression of friendship and love. I get the same feeling when I'm with my friends and we're just enjoying one another, like tonight when we were sitting out on the peninsula on the blanket, playing Texas Hold 'Em in the twilight and waiting for the fireworks to start. Puppy kept stepping into the middle of the card game and scattering chips around. I feel like if someone had an acoustic guitar (and knew how to play it) I could swing my 70's hair around and get that same feeling. Times like that I don't hate myself and my life-wide indecision and my lack of energy or ambition or anything. I'm just part of a warm collective where we, pardon me for saying it like this, Kirsten, but where we revel together as one. (The sun the sun together we'll sing out the sun.) I love Marlo Thomas' 70's hair in that clip. |
