what is the word

Is everybody in a fantastic mood today? Something strange is going on. Rarely enough, I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. Melly did too. So did Anise, but she almost always does. I was feeling so awake & detached from the subway this morning, listening to Wild Pack of Family Dogs on my headphones.
The new designer at Givenchy's got my new favorite name: Ozwald Boateng. I can’t say enough good things about his first name & his last name & the 2 of them in combination. It's like Ya Ya Empress! Or Gouranga! It's just dying to be repeated: Ozwald Boateng! Ozwald Boateng! Ozwald Boateng!
I've got a thing about names. A couple of months ago my friend & I were laying on the sand in Long Beach, trying to stop the crashing depression that had inevitably begun to set in after a long nite of scores of lines of coke, a couple packs of smokes, some X that did nothing & about a case of beer. It was 9 a.m. & we were laying on the beach with nothing left to say to each other. Somehow or another one of us brought up the subject of names, & bit by bit, in a stilted, special-ed sort of way we managed to get thru it by talking about names. We got onto the subject of which names would prevent us from dating someone. I said I'd never date a Rodney (I know. I got no respect, even for the dead. But it's my dad's name, which is weird, & it also sucks), a Gary or a Phil. Nor a Randy & never a Conrad. I have issues with Keith, too. Awful names, all of them.
Other than that my standards are shockingly low.
I would date an Ozwald Boateng in a second. Too bad he's married. They look happy too.
