There are PEOPLE all around us..

Browsing the interwebs this evening I came across this video that is narrated by the same blonde guy who was in the “Happy Carriage” video M. Owens posted a few days back. Taking the subway every day, I tend to forget that the individuals around me are actually human beings and not merely obstacles that are trying to make me miss the 6 train. I believe that most of you can relate. I appreciate the effort this gentleman is making in approaching total strangers and attempting to put a smile on their faces, as well as making them feel important, for making them feel human, even if for only a moment. This video reminded me that every single one of us in this city has hopes and dreams; every single one of us has our own New York Story.

    Wow, I really enjoyed watching this video. I think my favorite part is when he asks, “Why are you here?” and the guy says, with this offended expression, “I was born in this country.”

    Great video! I definitely recognize at least 2 of the people in it from my daily train commute. My favorite part is when he asks “What’s the meaning of life,” causing everyone to laugh. Thanks for posting!
