it was only one night.

some people

are worth thinking of :)

got myself in to it.

wowowowow: i feel average. kind of like hungover but i think it’s more exhaustion which is shit, because that’s harder to fix- you know? it takes time & sleep. it doesn’t just go away. anyhow, i’m determined to buck up & make this 4th of July business happen.

it’s strange being in another country for their nation’s birthday.. i kind of don’t know what to do. if i were back home i’d be having breakfast beer & vegimite on toast; easy. i’m at a loss for now, but have got a couple of options for later; a couple of parties & the fireworks down at Battery Park. quite frankly i just want to do something low key but that could change once (if) i actually peel myself off the ‘sofa’ (couch).

last night was fucking rad. it’s also the reason i’m a little worse for wear today. i was already hungover but my friend & i didn’t want to waste any of our time here so we got our act together & went to Brooklyn to see some bands. so. good. this ridiculously talented guy that we made friends with on the flight over is in Bomb the Music Industry; he was super nice & put us on the door.

we had some post-gig ciders (!! way less popular & thus harder to get in NY), pizza & hung out until the early hours. great fun.

now i’m going back to sleep..

NY i love you, but you’re bringing me down

well, i guess maybe some of your food is: i’m currently lying here in the apartment with a great bout of gastro, watching ‘16 & Pregnant’. fortunately i have been having an amazing time in ‘the big apple’ so far. i’ve been around my hood (the East Village), to Times Square & the theatre district, down town to Wall St/financial district & the West Village/Greenwich Village.  

we did a bus tour to Brooklyn but unfortunately didn’t get off that bus.. so uh, we’ll be going back. 

i feel anxious that i’m missing out on stuff so i’m concentrating super hard on getting better. wish me luck..

it’s not about losing hope

but maybe readjusting (read: lowering) my expectations of people. it’s just upsetting for me when people are inconsiderate, overly lazy, dishonourable, dishonest… dumb. i don’t expect people to be perfect & i’m not saying that i am either. but i actually believe that we’re all born with the same capabilities & beautiful minds that can help us make good decisions or opportunities for ourselves & ideally, others too. so why don’t people use the fucking resources they have at their disposal!? rant over.
