Some things to look forward to, even rivalries.

What can I say? despite all the shitty things that have happened during this move I have one bright spot. I received a letter today. It wasn't obvious from the front what exactly it was but the message inside was really clear. Only a couple more days and I get to see my gf after a very long time apart. Okay, maybe three weeks isn't that long but who wants to explore such an amazing city without their partner in crime. I've already got several things planned and I'm not the planner type. She's offered to help me figure out my apartment space. I'll be counting the seconds until she gets frustrated with it and dumps my ass. What can I say? She's the best! She's also the thriftiest I might add, which is nice because that is one thing I'm definitely not. I spent an extra $10.50 the other day to take the scenic route home. Turns out I was on the wrong subway train! I did learn something though, Harlem is just how you picture it in your head...fading in the background as your feet run faster toward the closest cab.

I found my favorite hangout! A very cool place called the Village Pourhouse, not sure why they named it that because it's the nicest sports bar in the villages. It turns out it's 4 blocks away from me and it's a KU bar!!! Lots of KU people come out to celebrate Hawkdom every Saturday.






















On a much sadder note. A local bar 2 blocks down from me is falling apart, in shambles, run down and in disarray. Turns out it's the MU bar in the villages called Standings. You can call it historic but we all know it's never seen a championship. Sad.








And that's how you keep a rivalry alive, even in NYC!

That Guy's first post

That Guy has apparently moved halfway across the country to live in New York. To get even more specific I've moved to the East Village in Manhattan. I'm roughly between 1st & 2nd Ave. on 7th st. The most amazing thing is that my ZIP which used to be 64116 is now 10003. How cool is that!? 10003! Blows my mind. The first thing people wanna know is, is it expensive, I bet your place is small. My place isn't that bad but yes, it's expensive to live here. However, living here is very doable. I'm going to keep this short but here are some thoughts.

My Area!

A. Always thank the dude that grabbed your arm and held you back from becoming a taxi driver's next big fish story.

B. Hardcore Raiders fans here are scared of getting knifed by the Chiefs fans. Quite the role reversal.

C. I have yet to see a rat but I thought I did...turned out it was a cockroach.

D. Everyone's single. Apparently, even when they're married.

E. Be careful when walking through times square. Someone stole my virginity the last time I went through it.

F. Invest in headphones. If only to allow yourself to be rude to people and they won't yell at you.

G. The camera adds 30 lbs. on models. I was in Bryant park for fashion week and thought I was at the holocaust museum.
(to soon?)
It's okay, 80 year old neo-nazis weren't shooting up the place so I soon realized where I was at.

I'm tired. I leave you this image from that new show hoarders. oops.
