In the Empire State

This entry was typed yesterday, internet crapped out so I couldn't post. Decided to post it as is, without completing.


As usual, I have neglected my blog for the umpteenth time. I will no longer make promises of semifrequent updates, but will instead just try to keep it in memory as something to reach out to during times of extreme boredom and thumb-twiddling.

Early yesterday morning, I parted ways with Brookhaven ("home") for a few days and got dropped off in New York, about an hour upstate from the city or so. Of course, my cellphone doesn't get any reception here, so I rely on my morning walks or daily travels throughout neighboring towns to keep in touch with the world. I do have access to the internet, but it's only available via my grandmother's laptop. I attempted to set it up on my laptop, but the drivers wouldn't install as downloaded and I can't locate the installation CD, which leaves me at her computing device as I relay this information to the world wide web.

The original idea of this vacation was to ease my mind of all the shit that back home entails. While this situation could probably be beneficial, it certainly isn't going exactly the way I hoped. That being said, it's not all that bad, either. The main sting is that the woman who holds my heart is about three hours away, and without any available time to come see me while I eradicate my mind. This makes it extremely difficult to relax, let alone occupy myself with mundane duties and tasks. I just want to hold her in my arms, and that's a desire that cannot be fulfilled at the moment.

However, not all is glum. I purchased Russel Brand's Booky Wooky and intend to read as much as my helter-skelter mind will allow, and then hopefully move on to his new Booky Wooky II. Another small bit of good news is that Whole Foods tried to contact me regarding a job I applied for in the city. I'll be calling them back tomorrow. I would have done so today, but I figured tomorrow would be better due to it being one day closer to my return home.
