The other day I picked up Chinese food for lunch yesterday and I received quite an odd fortune cookie. It read:
“Your spouse’s bills are yours and yours are yours.”
First of all, I don’t have a spouse, and if I did, I guess this would hold true, but what happened to the inspirational fortunes. This is like a reality check slapping you across the face.
My old house-mate, Vince recently moved back to Long Island from the city. Okay. so Queens is still a hike, but it’s better than NYC. We met up for the first time since Shore-leave. Vince has a way of bringing you back to your past 🙂 I felt like It was 10 years ago! I was 20 again. I met Vince in his new Apt and right away, he was with a friend of ours from back in the day. I don’t think I saw her in about 10 years (not counting facebook/myspace and such…).
We wound up heading out to the Witches Brew coffee house in West Hepstead.. The place has not changed a bit in the 10 years since I was there last, however the crowd does seem to have. When I frequented it there was always loud music and a heavy goth scene. The people were less goth and more just generic teenagers. Most of them were still around the 15-20 years old age range. It occurred to us that we were becoming “Them”!. You know, The older people that we would look at and wonder why “They” were there. lol… I guess it makes more sense now.
Check these guys other YouTube videos also!!!! The David Blaine ones are fucking hysterical!!!
I’m 30. I’ll be 31 in just a few weeks and I still love Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches. It’s been one of those nights I got home, had so much cleaning to do that I didn’t bother making anything for dinner. That AND the fact I have to go food shopping. I always tend to revert to a childhood state of mind when I o for the Peanut Butter and Jelly from the fridge.
To make it worse, I HAVE to sing that damn song. You know, the one that goes “It’s peanut butter jelly time!!!” over and over.. and you can’t sing it without doing the stupid dance that the banana does in the popular flash video!
I need to get off the Internet 😉 lol… I love the little things. They amuse me. They keep me content! Thats my secret to how I am always positive and happy, even when things are down.
Grand Central Station while waiting to meet.
It’s been a while since I blogged so I thought it was about time for an update. As it always is, the holidays are a busy time for me. The radio promotions keep me busy on my weekends and my regular job keeps me busy during the week. I took Thursday off and headed into the city to meet a friend for the first time. I had been talking to her online for a while and was excited to get to hang out.
I met Katie at Grand Central Station, so while I was waiting for her, I decided to explore the station a bit. I remembered hearing about certain archways that you could whisper in one corner and about 15 feet away, someone could hear your whisper as if you were right next to them. I hopped on the net and found exactly where the area was. While waiting around, I must have witnessed half a dozen people trying it out. She must have thought me crazy when only 5 minutes after meeting, I asked her to stand in the corner while I walked to an opposite corner and whispered to her.. lol. She heard me though. It was pretty cool.
So, we decided to check out the tree in Rockefeller center. After taking us on a trip on the wrong subway in the wrong direction, we decided to walk 🙂 We got to the tree and then headed out for drinks and then off to lunch.
We were both starved,and not having any real plan we picked a diner and stopped in for burgers. I forget the name, but I believe it was Cozi’s or something like that. They had the absolute biggest hamburgers I’ve ever seen. They were the same size around, but were the thickness of three burgers stacked. Okay, maybe only two, but they were BIG! and good 🙂 Unfortunately, I could not finish mine. A first for me.
We wandered around the city a bit and took the elevator up to Fantasma, The magic shop I try to get to whenever I make it into the city. Despite being there earlier in the day, I spent even more money. I tried to take her to one of the Back-stage tours at MSG, but we were too late. I didn’t realize that they only ran until 3PM.
We headed to times square and spent the rest of the night at Dave & Busters. Playing DDR, I just HAD to show off, but it backfired on me. It’s been so long since I played, that I started with one of my more active levels and couldn’t complete the second level. I could barely catch my breath. Just breathing slowly caused great pains in my back and chest. It was fun, but foolish.
At the end of the night I took Katie back to her train and we said our goodbyes. I wish that she lived in New York, or me in Connecticut, but we both have ties keeping us where we are. I’ve thought about trying to maintain a long distance relationship, but that’s always been something I felt could never work. With my oddball schedule and the things I do, I don’t get to meet people that often. It’s rare someone that I am actually interested in comes along. For now, We’re just friends. I’ll admit that I’m disappointed about that. Who knows what will happen in the future. We’ll definitely hang out again, and hopefully it won’t take as long to coordinate in the future as it did this time (We’ve been making plans to meet for a few weeks.)
