"All good things must come to an end...." ...but we're just getting started...
So i even procrastinate to write in this thing.
I got back from New York last Saturday night. It was an amazing trip. It probably wasn't as amazing as when i went three years ago or as last year's trip to California, but it was still a great trip. Most importantly, for those of you who know anyways, my sister is alright and well best of possible news was received. Great condition, no surgery, no nothing. =)...(This was over at Northshore Hospital in Long Island...named #1 hospital in America...yikes, i know)
Outside of that, it was so productive. I think we beat a record: 9 nights in a row in Time Square! haha. We stayed in a place in Long Island caleld Great Neck. It was a nice area townish style. It did, however, beat both times that we went skiing in the mountains. Those were the places that I would never want to live in, for it'd be nothing but extreme boredom and depression. This was more like a suburbs...just...friendlier. There were, however, too many Jews ahahaa. Great food though. You know, those amazing delis, which serve the pickles and the cole slaw. Okay, some of you must be so lost by now, moving on. So the train station was right across the street from the hotel, and every day we headed over there to take the train to Manhattan (we didn't stay in Manhattan to begin with because the hospital is in Long Island). We arrived to the famous Penn Station on 34th St. and 7th Avenue. Across, you can see the seven floor Macy's, and you can find a Starbucks at every corner. Actually, you can find a Starbucks in every corner of New York City but anyways. In the nine days we were there we did everything possible there is to do in New York, except for one thing...Broadway Shows, which I'm still angry about. We went to Macy way too many times, we even ate there. We went to the movies in Times Square on two different occassions: Meet the Fockers, which was totally worth it and Spanglish, which was, well, totally not. We ate rockin New York pizza. I met up with Simoni, and we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We went to Central Park, Rockerfeller Center, Radio City Hall of Music, Fith Avenue, Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty (boat tour), and Madison's Square Garden. We ate at Coldstone's about 5 times while there; the Menasce family is officially their number one customer, and my father, who is the most chocolate devoted person i know, discovered and is now completely infatuated with their Chocolate Devotion specialty.
Oh yeah, def. in the top three highlights of my trip: I met Spinner from Degrassi in a mini European Cafe in Time Square! Haha it was so crazy that nobody else there recognized him, and well, that made it even better because it was just a bit more personal you know. Most of you who know me also know that i will always refuse to be jsut another in the crowd.....anyone's crowd.
The Subways are crazy; there is a touch of excitement there though. I'm such a tourist, haha. I officially know the whole underground way system up there. It's crazy the type of people you can come across in Subways.
What a crazy city. What a crazy life.
I've got pictures of all of this. Too bad photobucket doesn't like me a refuses to upload my pictures. Dotphoto doesn't like me either. Arrg.
Shit, when i came back all i can think of was my rejection towards reality. During my last days in New York I refused to accept that Monday was heading my way. It was heading toward all of us. Snapping back to reality is the hardest to do; it'd the hardest thing to accept. Two weeks ago at this time, I was in heaven because i was in a cafe and i happened to run into one of my favorite stars. A week ago at this time I was in distress because i didn't want to face the next five months of my life. Now here i am.
I'll get through it. We'll all get through it. It's the best feeling to realize that. It's the best feeling to remember that you're always in control of that.
Say it with me:
Oy Vey!
