Things Taliesen does TOO much in NYC
1. Ride the subway. It's not that I have a problem with public transport. In fact, in this city, it really is VERY good. I just have a small problem with the fact that I spend at least 2-3 HOURS every day UNDER GROUND!!!!!! It's just not a natural state of being. Of course, that wouldn't be a problem if I lived in Outer Queens, but then I'd live in Outer QUEENS!!!! I love living in Mahattan, just too much of my day spent under ground.
2. Eat out. When you can buy coffee and a bagel for $3, a sandwick from subway for $2.50 and steamed vegies and brown rice from the chinese place around the corner (who DOESN'T use MSG) for $4 and save yourself all that time struggling through a supermarket, preparing the food AND cleaning up? Honestly... Why wouldn't you?
3. Drink. Now, I don't want to worry you all, Daniel and I are not becoming alcoholics. Promise. But when you can buy a "longneck" (not that they call them that here, but all of you in Australia know what I'm talking about) of beer for $1... That's right, ONE DOLLAR! You can see how that and $6 bottles of Australian wine (Dad, Penfolds bin 389 is only $13.45 at the bottle shop up the road) can lead to a very easy way to take the edge off after a long, HARD day working our crazy jobs.
4. Worry about the state of our Nation and of our World. Maybe its because I have to hear something about him (being the moron that runs this country - the Leader of the Free World) every day, perhaps it's because I live in New York (where everyone seems to have a brain, and hates him) or it could even be that I'm growing and becoming more politically conscious... Hehehe. Whatever the reason, I find myself worrying about this poor world of ours every day...
5. Saying "No" while walking on the street. Whether it be pamphlets, brochures or beggers. Whatever the reason, whatever they are trying to give me or ask of me, I find I'm saying No all the time. It seems to be every time I go out. I can't wait til I become one of those real New-Yorkers that just has that air about them, that Look that says "stay the heck away from me, I aint givin' you sh*#."
6. See things I want. From brownstone houses and apartment building on Central Park West to beautiful shoes and gorgous outfits, there is just SO MUCH in New York City that is begging me to buy it. God help me when we're rich and famous.
