my last serenade
sooo i just got home yesterday and this is likely to be my last post on this blog. now for better or worse, i am categorically against ever having to explain myself in any manner to anyone…. but i’d just like to clarify for the record that this trip was fucking AWESOME. ive been hearing lots of the little sewing circles badgering on about how miserable we were on our trip and i must say i was kind of surprised by that……until i reread our entire blog. i think we sound so miserable because jason and myself both share a very healthy(or unhealthy) appetite for dark and sarcastic humor. what can i say, what’s not hilarious and horrifying about a man getting mauled by a zombie? or in our case, a bear? shrug, so i like laughing at really bleak and inappropriate things, bite me. anyways so i flew into new york yesterday morning and if there’s one thing that kind of overwhelmed me about that, it was the strange affinity/connection i felt with the city. i mean i grew up in ny but i never felt that strong sense of identity that comes with it for crazy rappers. i swear i almost crossed my arms and yelled BX!!!!!….i’m not from the bronx but there’s no cool sign/yell for all of nyc to my knowledge. so yea, this trip has definitely definitely made me appreciate nyc in its entirety and it definitely feels like home more than ever. anyways i know we slacked a lot in our blogging, and some of the most ridiculous shit happened int he past week of our trip so that kind of sucks for any readers. i would add on to jason’s blog about that infamous night in new orleans but all i remember is punching a kid in the face and then sitting in brett’s living room… as for the rest of this trip something i’d like to declare is that austin, texas absolutely stole my heart away. nyc will always be my home, but i’d love to make my life and home home in the future in austin, texas. just the whole vibe, people, layout, places, girls, music scene, everything about that place is just top shelf and fits with me. it has its really crazy fratty areas, but aside from that it just seems like such an ideal place to live to me. there was this one place that we went that was just a gigantic natural spring…it was HUUUUGE and fucking beautiful and it operates as a swimming pool. can you imagine? i mean i grew up with the local swimming pool being this dingy little shithole in dix hills, long island where parents would come and dump their kids off who’d pee in the pool and stuff like that. austin puts that to shame. i wish we had a picture of that place. what a true adventure this trip was. i also found it really strange and cool how jason and myself both eventually found that the most comforting place to be was on the road. it was the only thing that was left familiar to us on our trip. i definitely recommend you try it. anyways i don’t know what else i should say, there’s just so much to say that it kind of overwhelms me into silence. i’ve definitely learned a massive amount of things about my life on this trip, but i’ll spare you all of that. just wanted to write here to say good luck to jason for the rest of the trip and props for being a stellar partner in crime. i’ll definitely hold the memories of this trip real close. —anyways i’m done w this! FINALLY! i hate this blogging business!AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I DON”T HAVE FACEBOOK, MY “FRIEND” is IMPOSTERING ME. STOP IMING ME.
