What A Day

Hola Meanies !

I know I have been M.I.A for a long time. Ummm I actually have been mentally drained. You know when your mind is constantly running and you can't stop yourself. Well that's always me but for the past week or so I crashed.

Anyway Monday July 26, I went into NYC with my BFF for a job conference at MSG. She has been looking forward to this event for the past 3 weeks or so because all she wants is a job. So the conference has two segments, she went to the 11-1:30pm segment. We got there after 11. When we reached, there was a long ass line around the corner. I left her with a friend that was on the line. Told them Good Luck and when she's done to wait outside of Borders. I'm sure you're guessing why I'm telling her to meet me in front of Borders. She left her cellphone at home. It made sense to pick a landmark because I don't think I can handle looking for someone at MSG.

I'm in NYC where do I go first ? I didn't have the slightest clue. Then I thought just walk til you see something interesting. On the walk I see Conway. By the way Conway is not the same. Don't you just hate a store that you grew up going to changes. But change is good but when change is bad it's no bueno. So I went to Conway & Joey's.

After I walked a block or so I stumbled upon a Irish Pub & Bar called Pigs N' Whistles. Honestly I was hot, thirsty and was in need of some heavy AC loving. It was nice & quiet. I've never sat at a bar by myself so it felt good. I had 3 drinks: Tropical Mix Magarita, and two Dark Storms (Ginger Beer with Black Spice Rum). I'm not a beer Nazi but that Dark Storm was really good. After sitting at the bar for about an hour and a half reading my book " His Woman His Wife His Widow" and drinking, it was time to go meet back up with my friend. When leaving the bar I noticed I've never had a moment like that in my whole entire life. A quiet,serene and alone time. It was weird but felt great. I recommend everyone do it once in awhile, once you do it you'll probably might do it more often.

I get to Borders 5 mins before 1:30pm. So I'm a book worm. Me in Borders is not good, usually I would leave with at least 4 books. But I'm walking around trying to kill time for my friend to make her way out of MSG. I left Borders 20 mins later, sat outside on the bench next to some stink fertilizer that smelled like weeks old Chinese food.

After awhile I was getting nervous about my friend. At that moment I had to use the bathroom so bad I could of wet myself. When I went into Borders earlier, the bathroom was out of service at that moment. I'm outside walking back and forth waiting. I said oh no I have to find somewhere. I went to Kmart, didn't find a bathroom. Went to Penn Station, lost patience and left. Low and behold I ended up back at Borders. Thank God the bathroom was working. As soon as I was finished my friend called me and said she's outside. The conference was suppose to be over 1:30pm. I was thinking it will go over til 2pm. She came out few mins before 4pm.

I get outside and she's beyond mad. The conference was worthless and waste of money. She's mad I'm mad, she's hungry I'm hungry. We went to Red Lobster and enjoyed ourselves indulging in food, drinks and great conversations. Then we headed back to CT.
