Another Sign of being a New Yorker

Daniel here,

Yes that's right, this is for all those nay-sayers. I promised to write more so here I am. This morning I had another one of the moments that make you feel that you have truly assimilated and become a New Yorker.

Now the NY city subway system is driven by either an ex-drunk with dementia who can't find it in his heart to go over 20 Mph or an ex-race car driver hell bent on delivering us all from our sorry lives. Today I had the latter.

What made me feel like a true New Yorker in this situation was that as the train violently swung from side to side in a desperate attempt to de-rail itself and as most other sensible passengers clung on for dear life, I merely lent against the door and failed entirely to look up from my blackberry.

The blackberry for the uninitiated is a small hand held device that serves as phone, e-mail, internet navigator, music/movie player, digital camera and GPS device and is no bigger than my old mobile phone.

I hear what you are saying, 'do you really NEED all of that'? to which I simply answer...

'Of course, I'm a New Yorker'!!!!
