Movie Stars and TV places...

I was out taking a run the other morning and happened to look up and saw Tom’s Resturant. The resturant they used in Siefield. Out of no where these things just pop up. Then, just the other day I was waiting to take the bus home and saw the actor who plays Superman on Smallville. And yes ladies , he is tall and very good looking. (I am very comfortable with my manhood to say another guy is good looking)

Cats Don't Fly

So my new roommate Frank (awesome guy) has this cat named Behemoth. I arrive at this apartment Wednesday night, meet Frank, go over a couple of things and then meet Behemoth. The next day Frank leaves early for work and I awake with Behemoth sitting on my back drooling. Welcome to NYC. I proceed by getting settled, unpacking, hooking up my computer, and getting my room organized. In the process I open up the window in my room to let some nice fresh NYC air into the room. When all of a sudden a pigeon lands on my window sill...forgot to mention I am 5 stories up. Out of the corner of my eye I see this cat fly across my bed in attempt to rid the city of one of its many pests with wings. The screen was not set in the window, but all I saw was the cat bounce of some invisible barrier, the pigeon escape and my heart race to my head. I could just imagine the conversation with my new roommate..."Cat? what Cat? I did not see a Cat?... What was that, make sure I don't open any windows...You got it you can count on me."

One thing that I noticed about the people of New York is few people make eye contact. In fact, so many hide behind sun glasses. I think came from just walking in the mist of crowds, a sea of people. It would be very difficult to make eye contact with anyone when they pass by if you have 100 people passing each second. So when I go on my daily walk/run in central park, I love to say Good Morning to passebys. It is great to see their reaction, mostly surprise, and I must come across as a goof ball, tourist, or crazy idiot.

From Kanas to OZ in 3 1/2 hours. Megabus is my tornado... it is the only way to travel. Most fares run $17-$22 one way, but sometimes you might even get a fare that is only $1 or $3. Yes that is right, one dollar to NYC. I have gotten this price twice since I have been riding. So Sunday evening rolls around and it is a bus ride up to NYC for the week, then click my heels three times and it is back home to Maryland for the weekend. My spirits are up, filled with optimism and hope. Now it is time to find the Wizard.

Well, if you have not heard now, I have officially moved to NYC. I have been there now for about two and a half weeks. I have seen cats jump from 5 stories up, too many rats in a subway station to count and a sunset from Brooklyn Hights.

Business never picked up, after our move to Maryland, on top of that working out of the basement was never that great for my mental health. So when you combine slow flow of work, the pressures of a one income family and a windowless basement for an office it only means one thing. Depression on levels never imagined...
