NYC in a Nutshell
Posted on 03.20.05 1:46PM in random
I’ll spare you every last detail of my voyage to the Big Apple by including a brief recap of everything I can remember:
Tampa. La Guardia. Super Shuttle. Milford Plaza Hotel. Carmines. Hotel. Subway. No one smiled. CSPA at Columbia University. Nacho Grill. Guggenheim. Contemplated killing self. Escaped. Hotel. Smiles remain nonexistent. Some deli with big pastrami sandwiches. Hotel. Shower broken. Columbia. Skipped class. Starbucks. Some Asian deli. Times Square. Virgin Records. Saw Whoopie Goldberg. Some pizza joint. Empire State Building. Cold. No smiles. Hotel. Shower still broken. Starbucks. Columbia. Skipped class. Starbucks. Carnegie Deli. Western Omelet. Rockefeller Center. Hotel. Lost on Subway, ended up in Brooklyn. Late for show. Saw 30 minutes of Blue Man Group. Stardust Diner. Sang Hopelessly Devoted to You. Hotel. Shower never to be fixed again. Starbucks. Subway. Smiles? Staten Island Ferry. Thought up theme. Ground Zero. Chinatown. Haggle. Had to pee. Hotel. The Producers. Richard Kind. Alan Ruck. Euro Diner. Western Omelet. Hotel. Euro Pan. Subway. Museum of Natural History. Dinosaurs. Planets. Subway. La Guardia. Tampa. End.
All in all, it was a good trip. I can take or leave New York City, though. It’s such a desolate and lonesome place: 17 million people and not one person has it in them to smile in the subway or talk to one another. That ambiance, my friends, is not the sort I would like to immerse myself in.

Geez casey and you didn’t even bother to talk about the times you spent with Egle and I: subway rides, steps of Columbia (after I fell down them), Starbucks at 11PM, Staten Island Ferry, the hotel lobby, and on the plane ride home. Our conversations were quite informative even if they made you a little uncomfortable. Weren’t they fun (he he) though??? I (heart) NY! Anyways have a fun spring break!

I’m really sorry you feel that way about my hometown. I believe you missed out on some of the finer points of NY, so I invite you to come stay in Jamaica, Queens with me and get a taste of the real New York…believe me, the tourist-eye-view isn’t as great as the New Yorker’s point of view.
