The Trip

3/4/14
New York is a city full of people looking for a rush. Everyone has that one thing, whether it is drugs, girls, running, reading, work, etc. I never in a hundred years thought that I would go to New York, even to check it out. Well it happened, and well I wasn't impressed, except for the subways systems. That shit is rad. $2.75 to ride from Astoria Queens to The World Trade Memorial. Cheap transport makes for a bustling economy. It may take some initial spending to get that transport into place, but after the years it will create opportunity unavailable to the old American way of being reliant on personal transportation.

Anyway, if you are a New Yorker this isn't meant to offend you and if it does, go fuck yourself. I have lived in California for half of my life and I am west coast through and through so that is why I didn't like New York. We all have preferences. 

I did meet a pretty bad ass server, she was nice, and we chatted about life and connected. She was of Asian decent, I would lean more towards Chinese or Korean. I should have gotten her number. I don't think sometimes.

All and all this trip has been mighty, wicked awesome. It has been damned cold though. I never imagined myself being in negative weather or just cruising the streets on foot in 18 degree weather. Someone is smart over here. Anyway, It was a learning experience throughout this two weeks and I must say I learned more about survival in this past week than I have, probably in my whole life.

Love who you are, be who you are, and live the life that makes you happy. Words I am starting to truly live by.
