Its really late Saturday night....or maybe its just early Sunday morning. I live in NYC. My living room window faces Eighth Avenue I have large windows on both sides of the room that create an urban panorama thet never ceases to amuse me...I am near Madison Square Garden where the Big East tourneys are being played.It is busy outside my window, busier than usual. There is a low rumble of traffic peppered with angry spurts of hornblowing. From the view outside my window I can see about 4 different bars,each with its huddled mass of nicotine addicts puffing away in front, in deference to Mayor Bloombergs harsh anti-smoking laws. The traffic is constant and its drone lulls me. I am a NYC girl, born and bred. Quiet makes me nervous. I love the country but in small measured doses. Fresh air hurts my lungs...
I am a creature specific to NYC. I wear mostly black, I talk fast,walk fast,think fast. I smoke too much and drink lots of strong coffee. I like my Martinis very dry and very dirty. My English is sprinkled with expletives some of which aren't even English. I get pedestrian rage and love to yell things at cabbies, like "putz" or "shmuck"..NYC is a melting pot and I can tell you to fuck off in many different languages. I am not PC. I am brutally honest. I hate tourists.I bitch about bridge and tunnel people (those from Jersey and the other Boroughs. I am a food snob but live for dirty water dogs.a good bagel and NYC pizza...I will not eat these foods outside of NY.
The NYC skyline leaves me breathless, and I hate to leave my Island...
I am going to Louisville,Ky this week to meet with some hobby people at a hobby function. I am not happy about leaving my town for St Patricks Day...I love to watch the wanton drunkeness that descends on my city, It makes me laugh to see the weaving, heaving masses...yet I leave with an open mind. I know I will be homesick by the time I get to LaGuardia and I always mist up when I fly over my city.
I can't picture Kentucky..I think of blue grass,the derby,bourbon and baseball bats. I am sure I can't call down to the deli for more cigarettes and a Tuna sandwich at 1:10 am. I wonder if it will be too quiet to sleep.
I have a 24 hour sex store on my block. I can buy porn,lube, condoms and a flogger in the middle of the night. I can watch new porn,and eat a Tuna sandwich 24/7 in NY.I can wake up in the middle of the night and buy a dildo and never cross the street.
I Love New York.

I'm not "smelly" today! LOL
I LOVE to read your musings...You nailed NY perfectly!!!Stay safe and come home soon!!!Love, Marylin
Search the TER reviews...INCLUDE Bad Web Sites...Miki brought me back out from under my shell. I LOVE that chick!!! M.
With all due respect to my out of state friends, Sinatra had it right: If you make it here, you can make it anywhere.
Also born and bred in NYC, I have become accustomed to having then ability to get anything my heart desires at whatever time the urge hits me. This is the city of lights; this is the city where no one sleeps; this is the city that will take you to a level you never knew you could reach when you succeed.
We're also the city where every spectrum of the political is accepted - from the correct to the utterly incorrect. Frankly, since we all have an opinion, no one gives a shit. But that's the beauty of this city: whether we like it or not, we're all out in the open. Accept us or leave us, just don't fu*k with us.
Yes, Miki, it is great to be proud to be a New Yorker. Hell, it's great just being here.
Frank Sinatra is from Hoboken. He had a great song in NY, NY but let's remember it was just a song he sang and he came from New Jersey. I'm not sure what he really new about "making it in New York."
He might even rewrite the song(LOL)
My new fantasy is torun into Miki at her neighborhood store. Notice her shopping, buy her a movie and toy for her pleasure, then go back to her place and watch her use them. Nothing like shopping in a adult store with a horny woman.
You make me remember Jason Robards in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST:
"She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived."
Love,
Fuhgeddaboutit!
