McCain or Obama?

Now that it is getting colder, the group of guys that hung out on the stoop now seek refuge inside our lobby. Not only do they want heat and shelter, but a private place to smoke the reefer and deal things, and we ain't talkin about cards. I get along good with them, we exchange nods and hellos, but last night, the 7 of em asked me "McCain or Obama?". Now being in NY for 3 months, I have seen how liberal the city is and how accepting of all different views the people are....as long as they are liberal views! Did I share my NYU experience? I know I was the only republican in that forum, but thats another story. As I said hi to the hoodlums, oops, I mean, dudes, they asked me "McCain or Obama?" At first I thought of saying McCain/Palin rock my world, but I figured ah might not be the best. Out of my mouth came, "I can't vote I am Canadian, so it really doesn't matter." They just laughed, so did I as I turned to go up the five flight of stairs! Now I was never scared, nor would I have been if I had said McCain but then again, you never know what some doobie/rollin rasta dudes might do? Mom and Jaime, its okay, still come and visit, they are nice guys, just don't interrupt any of their deals eh? I hope ya'll vote this next week!

Cravin' Some Sonic

Yesterday I was doing some on-site counseling at PricewaterhouseCoopers (big corporation) and when I went for a H20 break I noticed that the ice despenser despensed the infamous "Sonic" ice. I was so excited about this discovery that I couldn't wait to share this with my co-worker Heidi. Not only had she discovered it but she called it "sonic" ice too!!! Great ice, Happy Hour from 2-4 p.m., and their commercials are HILARIOUS!!!! (what else do you need from Fast Food)

Getting out of the City

This past weekend some friends and I were able to make our way up to a state park in NY. We took the train from the city to a town called Suffern where my friend Maya is a nanny. We then hopped in her car and made our way to the park, unfortunately due to a fireman parade we could not follow our lady friends instructions on our GPS. Good thing I had studied the map the day before on googlemaps - its a lifesaver! I am also pretty good with diretions, its a talent that the man upstairs blessed me with, just ask my travel buddies, when in doubt, yes, listen to me. As we drove along we made an exit here and there and finally got going and then decided to stop off at a little strip mall. The mom and pop deli was fabulous, not to mention full of helpful old men, just ask Sarah, they were all willing to help her find the "water" in the back of the store. The dad and his sons (thats what it looked like anyways) were running the deli counter and dang the sandwiches were delicious!! ) We loaded back up into the celine dion chrysler pacifica and drove. We took a random road and ended up at this beautiful lake and decided that spot was good as any. We ate lunch, hiked, photographed the area and then were on our way. We then made it to Bear Mtn. and we ended up forging our own path to the unknown. On the way we took engagement pics (doubled up on em cause NY is not cheap so thats what we do out here)and then just played in the leaves. It was just a fantastic way to get out of the city, but be close enough to see it from the highest peak of our climb!!!

Favourite Reality Quote of the Week

It goes out to my Southern Belles from "Amazing Race" and just to give some background, they are in the back of a jeep riding down the beach and its raining and one says "we're gonna get tan, yay.....I love Brazil...hey boys" and then some of the guys on the beach moon them....I love these girls!

Reality TV = Real Life

I know you are thinking the exact same thing, he is so right! For those of you who aren't into the reality tv, I make one important suggestion, DO IT! I do have my fellow supporters and you know who you are (jaime and dirk) and they can attest to the entertainment value, ah, I mean, educational value of such shows. For instance, by watching "Survivour" you really learn about what you can and can't take. I love to watch the episode where you have to eat disgusting things with my sister cause she has to leave the room cause its too disgusting. For her, this moment helps her realize that she has a weak stomach, for me, I know that if I ever got on the Amazing Race, sorry Jaime, I couldn't pick you as my partner, you gotta be tougher than that! The Amazing Race can teach you about relationships and the do's and dont's of those relations, thats where I get all my advice and so far....ya? Now lets not forget The Hills! We all know people like Lo and Audrina, just good friends. Then there are "playas" known as Doug and Brody, its hard bein' them!! But I would rather be them then the kniving Spencer and his ohh-so talented gfriend Heidi - If you find yourself as her, you might want to rethink some things!! Now who could forget ANTM - America's Next Top Model. If you want fashion tips and good educational info on posing for your facebook photo's, you get it all in one hour of entertainment, but you do have to suffer through Tyra, sorry bout that. There are plenty 'o' shows out there but I say you start with these and start takin' pointers, life's simple lessons can all be found here.
