I envy Eliza's boyfriend.

While I would like to say that there is nobody that I envy, it isn't entirely true. There is a level of musicianship inherent in some of the greatest jazz artists that I long for.

Improvisation is what really makes music come alive for me, whether it be playing music or listening to it. There is nothing I love more than to hear someone with such a command of their instrument that they can take it in any direction they wish on a whim. Sometimes it's as if the music is being channeled through them from a higher source and they are just a middleman. Certain artists, such as Charlie Parker or Chick Corea or James Jamerson wouldn't, couldn't, ever play something the exact same way twice. That would go against everything they were about.

When I have the priviledge of hearing a musician do this at the level that these guys do, I can't help but enviously wish to experience what it would be like to hear and play music with that level of understanding.

I envy the me I am in my dreams. Even when I'm having the crappiest dream ever, the me in my dreams is always cooler/thinner/thinks of wittier remarks. The waking me never lives up to my expectations.

Right now I envy Nikki Coxs hair. Yea, she's hot but her hair is beautiful! I think I'm just irritated that I still haven't gotten my cut fixed and I want it to grow longer.

I envy women who can afford to be stay-at-home moms.

When I'm dealing with someone in person and am less than smooth, I envy the me from message boards and other writings. I'm so much wittier on paper. In person I'm a dork.

I resemble that statement. Agree totally.

Ah envy, one of my seven favorite sins.

Right now I envy every preson who hasn't been at work for 11 hours and is staring down the barrel of two more hours. Also, I currently envy all those who got more than 3 hours sleep last night.

I envy people who own their own home.

There's more, but it's hard to form sentences due to the aformentioned lack of sleep problem.....and it's not even lack of sleep for a fun reason....I was up late working on a paper.
