wow. i just looked at your profile.
you're almost ten years younger than me to the DAY.

now i feel even older.


you suck, calvin.

 

[Calvin]

Don't hate, old man winter.

 

[jaguarr]

I'd be down with that. I'm not really that white anyway.

Awesome! I'm sure Shy will let us know how it went at some point.

[Calvin]

Alright, well it's almost time for the interview. If there are any 20-30 NY hypsters who want to grab a drink with the f**king man today, while I'm still in the mood to drink, buzz me at 347-678-7808.

 

[hey yo its sean]

Yo head to Little Brazil. I'm not sure about the bars, but the women there are crazy. Real talk.

That sounds decent, and I think I remember reading about Little Brazil in some guide, but,

A) where is it
b) "Real Talk"? Do I have to talk like that?


And a delayed c) I'm surprised the NYhypsters aren't more solidated. With such a connected city, which probably has a ton of hypsters, why aren't more hypsters drinking with each other? We need to bring this thing together.

 

[jaguarr]

Good luck on the job interview, Van. And, yes, you HAVE to start using phrases like "Real talk" now that you're a Yawker.

[Calvin]

What the **** does that mean?

I picked that up in California years ago, so.. Go nuts?

 

[jaguarr]

What? You don't want me to wish you good luck on the interview? Fine...I hope you f**k it up and they laugh at you.

I just realized that I never ranted/raved about NY after my trip...

Let's just say for now that I hate fate for letting SM3 begin filming one week after I left...

 

[Calvin]

Well I guess I've been away from CA too long (the 80's). I've never heard "real talk" before. Seriously, what's that mean?

 

[hey yo its sean]

It's the equivalent to "seriously." Ex.

"****, my girlfriend is pregnant."
"Oh ****, real talk?"
"Real talk."

we are. its just that the ones who have it together and connected....are grups.

 

[NDX]

I must be in the wrong circle because I've never heard the term "real talk" used before.

Drinking age
Most people I know manage to buy beer from the store and then we have house parties

How hard is it to commute from Queens to Jersey City? I've been wanting to get a different job from this charity gig because the hours are so rough, and the work is really ****ing stressful. I just got a call early in the AM from some place in Jersey City offering me a job for something. Given that I don't own a car, is that commute doable?

 

[maxwell's demon]

It's do-able, but it'll take a little longer and be more expensive. the PATH and the MTA are separate systems so you'd be paying a double fare everytime you travelled.

 

[Calvin]

Hm, well she's calling me back later with the details of the job. I told her I'd just woken up, so we cut it short. If the job's cool and well paying, which I doubt it would be at this point, then I'll think about it. I was offered an awesome job a couple weeks ago while I was doing salesesque sort of stuff in Jersey that was about 1000 bucks a week, but in Hoboken

 

[Erzengel]

Ugh nasty commute. Drive or subway into Manhattan from Brooklyn and then the Path into Hoboken. What is that 45?

But hey if the pays worth it.

 

[Calvin]

Hm, it's gotta be more than 45. My commute from Elmhurst Queens to the Canal/Broadway office for Save The Children is about 45 minutes. The only reassurance is that I got the call literally 4 hours after I made a monsterjobs entry. I'm at the point where I want ANYTHING because the hours bite, and doing door to door charity work has got to be the most depressing and stressful thing ever. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how s**ty the work is.

 

[Erzengel]

Ever since I got a 15 minute commute, I can't imagine going back.

 

[Calvin]

I need a job in the upper west side.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Wow, almost 12 hours in and not a mention of 9/11's fifth? C'mon, NYers...represent.

An' Max, cool site fer McCaren there. Nice pics. I found one that had detailed plans fer a proposed renovation into a community park, but unfortunately have no access to my favorites list currently. A web search should pull it up.

 

[Calvin]

Hm, is 9/11 Memorial day something you should or shouldn't drink to?
