NEW NEW NEW BLOG BLOG BLOG!!!!
Hello everyone!
Now that I am in New York and a little more settled, I am officially debuting my new and improved blog space. New in the sense that you all can post a comment. Improved in the sense that I will be writing on it daily. Or at least several times a week.
I should have started this a lot sooner. I moved to New York from San Francisco in March and it's been a hell of a ride to say the least. Most of you know what's been happening and it would be hard to catch up on all my misadventures here in this gi-normous city.
But I can say that I am currently living in Washington Heights, which is heavy on the DR (translation, a Dominican Republican neighborhood) and I have to move at the end of the year. I've been working a Broadway musical and there is so much to tell except that I would never work in this town again should I decide to share.
Here's a few things I have learned about living in New York:
1) The way to gauge a New York accent is to have someone say "Port Authority".
2) If you're a hipster walking the streets of NY it will automatically be assumed that you have a trust fund, that you bought your John Deere cap at Brooklyn Industries, and that you have a job at a coffee shop in Williamsburg as a way of "slumming it".
3) Broadway is the Hollywood of theater.
4) Cockroaches rule.
5) There are more actors than cockroaches in this town. (I kid the actors because I love)
6) "Fuck you" means hello.
7) There is little to no room for vulnerability.
There are probably more that I can list, but I don't want to make anyone read any more than they have to in this crazy short attention span world that we live in.
This city kicks my ass sometimes, but I love it. Like one would love a partner who keeps trying to tell them to go away. Sometimes I feel like I am getting constant rejection from New York. But because of that I say:
Fuck YOU New York! I'm here to stay!
Peace out,
