new york city is beautiful for one predominant reason, and that is because there is always something happening to keep my mind off of the bullshit that goes through my head. i'm thankful for every time i have to say "holy shit, look at that!" because thinking about whatever the fuck it is i'm seeing quiets down the voices in my head. i'm not saying that other places around the world can't do the same thing, but new york does it in a very unique way. here are the reasons why:
- you don't have to go indoors buy lunch because there are hot dogs, nuts, sodas, and god knows what else in carts everywhere. i don't know what they put in that hot dog meat, but goddamnit, there's no way i'm going into mcdonalds in NYC. no fucking way am i paying $8 for an extra value meal. i'll save money and take my chances with the hot dogs.
- a cowboy wearing underwear can make a living playing guitar in times square. i know it's expensive to live in manhattan, but this guy must make a killing with people slipping dollar bills into his hanes or giving him money to take a picture. he has one of the greatest work ethics i've ever seen. it's 11:12 am with tropical fuck ernesto coming, and i guarantee you that he's outside playing his guitar with a smile on his face.
- people can bust out in song and swing on the subway poles like tarzan and no one thinks of it as out of the ordinary. hell, anything you see in the play/movie "rent" can happen, and i wouldn't be surprised one bit. fire being thrown into the streets? meh. dancing on tables in a diner? good idea, why didn't i think of that? two guys kissing on the sidewalk? why wouldn't there be? it's new york.
- you can get the best chinese and italian food outside of china and italy. this is probably the only reason why i haven't moved to bumfuck, iowa already, because the food here is fucking awesome. i've been upstate on vacations and let me tell you, they can't hold a candle next to our food. i've gotten a lot of slack for saying this in public upstate, but i'm gonna say it again: new hyde park is the best place to get pizza. i'm not saying that to insult anyone else's cooking. i was asked my opinion on someone's pizza, and i gave my honest opinion. you want to know what real food tastes like, come here.
- Fox 5 news does an entire segment on "the 5 second rule". there is no reason to watch Fox for the news. there are only two reasons: "the simpsons" and "family guy". news is not Fox's strong point, but they do it anyway. i'm gonna see what the Fox 5 website is calling "news"...here's a headline: "Justin Timberlake: Out of SYNC, or Timber-Fake?" apparantly, that deserved more noteriety because it was listed above a story about a clash in afghanistan.
school is almost upon us. remember to buy new binders and those scented markers.
