This has to be quick as I only have 1.30$ left on this computer...

Which brings me to my first point. Although I begrudgingly put in 2$ to use this computer every time, I would much rather that than sit isolated at a table with my head buried deep into skype talking to people FROM HOME. Loneliness on the road is something I haven't felt yet, although I'm sure it will find me eventually, but to go abroad to glue yourself to the same computer that takes up so many precious hours in the comfort of your own home is ludicrous! But I digress....

Last night, sitting isolated a table watching movies on my Ipod, I popped out and bought a pint of rum and a bottle of Coke for 10$. NYC has had a few shortcomings (read: 2 nights ago) but the price of alcohol is certainely not one of them! So I sat there getting pissed by myself, which turned into one other guy joining me, which then turned into another girl joining us until we had a full on party! So after grabbing a good bit more booze we talked about a myriad of topics, enjoyed each others accents and shot the shit until the wee morning hours. It was fantastic! Although my brain pays the price this morning, in the form of 'skull cramps', it was well worth it. There is a shuttle to the airport at 8:00 tonight, where I will then catch my much anticipated connect to Alaska...I will go into the wild. Terminal 11 to be exact. Knockin on heavens door just came, i must go eat some cereal and soak up life. One love.

    My Canadiens made me very happy last night, by beating Washington in game 7! They came back from a 3-1 games deficit - bragging rights are a wonderful thing :-)
    Take good care of yourself & enjoy the experience.

  2. Ahh, i know this scene quite well. Having found myself alone in Vancouver for the next few months my tactics of guerrilla friend making have become quite sharp.

    I wish you luck in your journey my friend.
