city-envy..
ive recently realized (or decided) that my two favorite places in the US are new york and las vegas..
i used to think i was one of those anti-city people, esp big cities. i couldnt imagine bein surrounded by people constantly, w/ no space to thrive or green to see..
but maybe cuz of my travellin in the last few yrs (or a few yrs ago), ive become to actually relish the so-called "city life". not needin a car to get to where you wanna go, bein able to just step outside to get food (more vital for a single guy than a married one), and havin access to pretty anythin and everythin (cept for majestic views and rolling hills)..
my last trip to new york esp made me want more of it. i think its cuz i didnt (have time to) do too much there--like a tease that went unfulfilled..
vegas, of course, is a whole nother creature. but it does have that similarity in accessibility and walkability. it is, however, the casinos and the restaurants w/in i find enthralling. last time i was there was in feb, but havin recently seen oceans eleven again made me drool for that oasis-in-the-middle-of-nowhere all over..
i dunno wuts become of me. youd think for a big time introvert, id be partial to a quiet beach resort or even solitary confinement. but no, i gotta act all weird and enjoy subway commutes, crosswalks, and people crawlin everywhere..
yeah, im definitely messed up..
- i also luv london. the culture, the accent, and my favorite restaurant in the world (check out the menu!) make it very appealin to me..
- so lemme ask ya: if youre drivin on a three-lane highway, which one do you consider to be the first lane?
ive always seen the left-most lane as bein the first and the right-most the third. tell me if im wrong but i think most consider the outer (right-most) lane to be the first. why is that? i mean, dont we read from left to right? isnt the left lane considered the passing lane, hence the fast lane, hence the lane for the fastest/most-confident/best drivers, and hence the #1 lane?
just another argument supportin the fact that i am m-e-s-s-e-d U-P!!
- was listenin to my favorite sports radio show and the host said somethin that i felt was on the mark. we may diet and we may have discipline, but we all have our food addictions. that one thing that we cant help but cave in on. even thinkin about it now makes your mouth water,,
for me, there are two things i cave in on EVEN if im full: chicken wings and mountain dew..
wings are so enticing, maybe cuz theyre small, definitely because theyre tasty and messy. course, i sometimes eat em w/ a fork--even chipped my tooth once..
mountain dew really doesnt need any explanation, does it? i drink at least one can a day. it is my salvation in the afternoon--every time i unveil it from the mini-fridge at work, i hold it up and hail it as the "elixir of life". oh man wut would i do w/o you, o sweet dew?
oh man, wut am i gonna do when i have type-2 diabetes by the time im 33 and shootin blanks?
