Although counter-intuitive, citing darkly comic--or sometimes just dark--woes gives me something for which to live. For me, one of the only ways to stave off depression is through doing something creative, however small. Also, I like to complain. So each day I will share a reason to Die! [with the occasional reason to LIVE when I'm feeling oddly optimistic].

True Dat
My fave real estate broker told me something very interesting when we began looking at apartments. A born and bred New Yorker, she knows NYC better than anyone. As we were walking along Ninth Avenue and I was lamenting to her that I knew what I was looking for was nearly impossible to find—a unicorn—she said, “This is NYC. You will find anything you are looking for here if you look hard enough.” At the time I internally debated, trying to decide if that was true. But I started thinking, there are people that move here with $100 to their names and somehow find rooms they can afford. There are men born in women’s bodies looking for an Asian business men with a large foot fetish to love them forever and somehow find them at a random party in Queens for Chicks with Dicks and Big Feet. So why wouldn’t it be rational to think I could find a two bedroom for under $2K in Hell’s Kitchen? There is only one thing I need to amend about her quote: “This is NYC. You will find whatever you want if you look hard enough…..except a good boyfriend.” |
