I want to wake up in the city...

I find it amusing how accurately cities are reflected in their rail systems. Which may be a telling sign of how much time I have on my hands, but so be it. Let me elaborate

i stayed at a ramada hotel in chicago when i worked there. it was pretty amazing. met some pretty cool gang bangers too! i noticed walmart signs are different colors, hehe.

Is there such a thing as an un-cool gang banger?

Riding the subway in Washington D.C. was an experience in itself. I've never felt so many eyes bore into the back of my head.

New York. Meh. No big deal. I sat next to a guy with a 12 inch Mohawk, tri-colored blue... We talked about charmisma and how people seem to lack it.

As for Chicago.
I want to come visit and experience all of these things. *sigh* I'm debating whether or not I should go to school and become a nurse, or if I should follow my dreams and become a voice actor.

You and I know that you're fully capable of doing both. Probably simultaneously. (But come, visit, experience first.)

First, I'm really hurt that you didn't include the people-mover in this little essay. Secondly, I don't think the 1 train goes to Brooklyn. Thirdly, I was totally thinking about this the other day. I was on the train and it was PACKED and this amateur evangelist was like "you all need to feel the power of Jesus Christ. You're out there....Killing babies every day." And I turned to the big black guy next to me and said "Not EVERY day. Just sometimes". And he started cracking up. And then I thought about telling the guy that he should stop telling everyone what they should believe and appreciate how beautifully diverse everyone on that train was. But then...you know...I just got off the train.

Brooklyn-bound, Bronx-bound...see what happens when you move to Chicago? You go crazy.

Hey!! I will be in Chicago the week of Febuary 13th I do believe I will be there on tour and for a convention but it would be great if we could run into each other somewhere, like a restaurant or a coffee shop.
