I went into the city last night. My neighbor was having an art opening. What I didn't realize was that it was Veterans Day holiday and a lot more people would be in the city. I should have known when the train was packed from the beginning, and it only got worse once we arrived at Grand Central. There were so many people getting off the train that it took five minutes to walk off the platform.
When I got out onto the street, there were waves of people everywhere. It was like being in a fucking mosh pit at Glastonbury. It took forever to move 20 feet along the sidewalk. I didn't know exactly where I should be going, so I foolishly used my phone GPS app to get me there. It took me directly to the place I loathe the most, Times Fucking Square. It's like being in hell, there are people everywhere taking pictures, wandering around looking at their phones, morons driving fucking luridly decorated pedi cabs, blaring out the most obnoxious noise. I imagine that's what it like in Bangkok or somewhere in South East Asia where grotesque people go to bang cock inside of 50 year old whores. I dunno, it was horrible.
When I got to the art show, I was literally sweating off my brow. I should have worn a T-shirt and shorts. I had (also foolishly) worn a heavy leather jacket partly because it's the middle of November and it's supposed to be cold, and as a precaution against getting stabbed, which is a real possibility now that the barbarians are taking over the place.
I think I stayed at the art show for about 15 minutes. My neighbor didn't care, I'll see her next door, probably today. On the way back I stopped for a slice of pizza at this place I used to visit when I was doing my stand up comedy classes before the fake pandemic. They still sell pizza but it's changed hands and they also sell exotic cakes and pastries now. The 2" x 6" slice of pizza cost $13. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known the price. I could have bought a whole one for that much.
That's New York City in 2026. It's full of people, noisy and very expensive if you don't know where to look. It's still a freak show and it's fun, but I went on a particularly bad day. There aren't normally that many people walking around. It was ridiculous.
Whatever man. I got a lot of exercise on shank's pony. Thanks Google.
Good Day.
