My Life 3.........Life in Gotham
A famous singer once said NYC is the modern day ROME!......that's before he got shot outside his building.
People mutate here. We go to work with no emotion..... go straight to work and not notice things around us. We dart from train to train....walk as fast as we can, and give the occational finger when someone bumps you for no apparent reason. Everything is in fast forward mode!
People think Gotham is a wonderful place.......I say it depends. If you're weak, it will eat and spit you out the Hudson River. The people that make it, become a different breed. They bow down to a piece of paper with Washington's face on it.... so that they can buy stuff with funny brand one-namers.
"When in Rome, do what the Romans do". I am guilty of mutating......I am slowly understanding how my ex-wife has changed as well. I really can not pin-point a reason for the mutation, but it's true! I guess I also understand why people who live in Gotham want to get out of the city every weekend.......to be human again.........no wonder I would always go to see my family. I guess there's hope!

Such is life in the City. Although I was there for only a few months to study, I got a feel of the feverish pulsating lifestyle as I walked to the subway every morning among the throng of people during the rush hour. I can't say that I liked it but, I got used to it. Now, I even miss it. The excitement, the adrenaline rush and the sense of unexpectedness of things is what makes NYC the place it is. Hope I can get to visit the Big Apple again.
hey migs,
we're your touchtone here in the suburbs. we keep it real. we love it when you visit, with or without the crispy pata. i like hearing your stories because as you indicated, it's a different world in ny. it's good for you to get a dose of suburban living and the noisy kids once in a while.
you should be very proud of what you've accomplished. and while i agree with rhea that there is more to life than a career, i also think there is a time and place for everything. now is the time for you to climb that corporate ladder. a time will come when you will focus once again on a relationship and family, and if you put in the same amount of effort and dedication as you do for work, then you can't miss.
see you soon.
