Job Search: Day #956409684064309454

After going on a slacker hiatus I am back to looking for a steady job. My plan is to kick ass as soon as I'm done typing this silly blog entry. Someone mentioned going to the beach today. That sounds awesome but I'm sticking to my guns and am going to sit here with my brand new fan blasting in my ridiculously hot room while wearing no shirt. Yeah that's right NO shirt! :O

I went on an island getaway this weekend: Governor's Island, Staten Island, and best of all, Coney Island!!!!

I rode the Polar Express at Coney Island which was totally awesome and was much like a ride I used to ride at Worlds of Fun in KC called the "Rockin' Reeler" except it blared only rap and r&b while a dude hyped up the crowd by screaming "BROOKLYN!!! IF YOU WANNA GO FASTER, LET ME HEAR YA SAY 'YEAH!!!'" It was actually a lot faster than I expected and the strobe light freaked me out a little!!

My Recent Thoughts on NYC:
1. I notice that at restaurants here people say "To stay or to go?" as oppose to "For here or to go."
2. I secretly get really excited about the idea of going to Rockaway Beach specifically due to the Ramones song of the same name. I can't wait to go. On a similar note, it's weird to see places that I've heard of all my life but that aren't really a big deal. Examples: Madison Square Garden, Wall Street, Grand Central Station, Penn Station, etc.
3. When Will was in town he said that I seemed to be a lot faster paced than I was when I lived in KC. Fair enough.
4. Yesterday I got a slice of pizza and garlic knots from the place down the way and decided to sit down because it was air conditioned and felt awesome. I love that place. It's half Jamaican food and half pizzeria. The Italian guy makes the pizza and the Jamaican guy makes the jerk chicken and stuff. They have three flags up behind the counter: Jamaican, Italian, and U.S. (UNITY!) I sat there as the Yankees vs. Royals (!!) game played on the T.V. in the background. This guy asked "Is that the Dodgers?" and the dude behind the corner was like "No, that's the Kansas City Royals!". I chuckled to myself.
