And so on...
Finally, some pics from Honduras. Enjoy!
As fun as Honduras was, I have to admit I got the worst sunburn of my entire life while I was down there. Now I am peeling like crazy.
Or, as a former boyfriend once said, a-pealing. Ha.
By the way, I had my third "have you found a man yet" conversation yesterday. I'm really on a roll. Three times in one week--that's a record I could do without.
In other news, I'm thinking of going to New York before the end of the year. Which is interesting only because I had very nearly made up my mind NEVER to go. I've always resisted the "writer in New York" cliche, with every ounce of stubborness I possess (and believe me, that's a lot).
But fate, it would seem, has something to say about the matter, and that something sounds like this: "Go to New York!" It's a long story, but thankfully, fate is not insisting that I live there--just that I visit. I can handle that, I think.
At least, I hope so.
Funny that I was less apprehensive of going to the Middle East than I am of going to New York City. Why is that, I wonder?

g,
Nice pictures! Where were the ubiquitous machetes?
Don’t tell me, I don’t want you going into that particular obsession again. :)
I’m with you on NYC, though friends tell me it’s better now, but…here's why you wonder.
“They come to do the jobs American’s won’t do,” President Bush explains. “They come for a better life.” (Jobs 40+ million aborted humans don’t have a chance to do, I might add.) (As in fact, I just did.)
According to Newsweek, March 28, 2005, over 10,000 MS-13 gang members illegally crossed our borders looking for a better life, too. Now operating in 33 states, ‘The Most Dangerous Gang in America’ illustrates how illegal aliens cross our borders looking for a better life while they make ours a living nightmare.
“Everything gets bastardized as it leaves the center,” said Wes McBride, president of California Gang Investigators Association. “While machete attacks might occur on the East Coast, they’re rare on the West Coast”.
Worrying about traveling to New York, naw!
Sorry, time for my happy pill.

Esteemed Ms. Grackyfrogg:
The experience of visiting New York is very different than the life experience of living in New York. I grew up in the rural desert southwest of Southern Arizona. I moved to New York City on a gamble for my career advancement at 29 years of age. For me, moving to NYC has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I moved here just when Ed Koch handed the reigns to David Dinkins. Yes, that New York was pestilent and blighted. After Rudolph Giuliani took over and hired William Bratton and later Raymond Kelly, after a decade of unprecedented economic expansion and investment across the USA, and this "new" New York is a far cry from the New York you see in "Taxi Driver".
Word of advice, NYC is not for the faint of heart or for people who still live in their parent's attics. I have seen those types leave without fail.
The strong, tolerant, innovative, original and hard working are the demographic descriptive make-up of New Yorkers these days.
Regards

thanks, jerrynj, for the insider's outlook. it was quite revealing. i was especially tickled by the irony of the fact that i actually read your comment while sitting (though not living) in my parents' attic! coincidence? prophecy? we shall see.
that said, i don't have any particular desire to live in NY, so the experience of visiting will have to suffice.
besides, i doubt i have enough black in my wardrobe to qualify for permanent residence.

Touché on the reparteé. "Pastelistas" need not apply in The Gotham.
Lo que quise compartir con usted, es que Nueva York no es para cualquier persona. Lo que yo e experimentado, y e evaluado con certitud, se puede explicar sencillamente con la letra de la canción de Waylon Jennings:

LOL. gracias para el explicacion--yo comprendo, y tienes razon. pero, yo pienso que tu argumento es verdad para cualquiera ciudad, no unicamente para nuevo york. todos lugares en el mundo no son para todas personas, no?
gracias para el cancion tambien. muy divertido, hombre.
adios, y buen dia! (y disculpeme para mis errores de grammatica; mi espanol no es bueno!)
