Shut the NYC Up!
So, I’m going to try and go back to stories, and I remember a pretty nice on. It was a lazy Friday night, so my family and I (you don’t need to know anything more about them, it won’t hurt the entertainment of the story) decide that we would go and travel to New York on Saturday, and see a show. What do we decide to see there? How about the Lion King, it was a nice movie, and should be quite interesting to see how the costumes were pulled off. Though, we would find that the toughest thing would be getting there.
The drive was actually very nice. It was a beautiful day to walk about outside, not too cold, and not to humid… in February. Anyway, as we kept on going, we were able to see some of the greatest and finest sites to see. Aside for that glorious scenery, once we got into the heart and blood of the city, it became a little rough. How rough? How about having one of those window washers who just spits on your windows say, “Shup up that ****** yelling,” (Can you tell what he said?). Is that enough to get you a little shaken up?
But, that was the worst of the mix. Once we got there, I could just look around for hours. Which is what we did once we were able to get great seats to The Lion King, without having to get them 3 months in advance. We were able to see many things while waiting for the show, from an African-based church session, which consisted of a high pitched female wale, to people waving banners above their heads, to people ice skating in this warm weather. It was all a nice experience, and the dinner there was neither expensive or distasteful. Time for the show.
One word for you, “amazing”. The costumes were fantastic. The actors and actresses that were apart of the show, great. The only bad thing that I could think of is that I was sick at that time, and the next day had a 102 fever, so I may not of been able to enjoy it too it’s fullest. But if you were even able to find some interest in the movie, you’ll enjoy the show.
Anyway, as I said, I had a fever for the next 4 days, so it wasn’t the best. But that’s behind me, so see ya tomorrow!

heh, heh, heh
Only a NYC newbie would call that man a window washer. His purpose is not to clean your windshields. He wants you intimidate you so you pay him $$$ to stay away from your car. The scam works best when 5-8 of these guys surround your car at a red light. The owner typically will often toss a few bucks out of the window, considering that this is a small cost compared to what these window-washers might do. The washers usually hold washrags in their hands which look like they helped clean up the great Bronx sewer explosion of 1967.
Reminds me of a time I parked my rental car in San Jose to go to a hot nightspot with my girlfriend. Some nasty looking dude said to me, “for $2 I’ll watch your car so nottin happens to it”. I said no, walked a block to my destination, then, after realizing that he was both the watcher and the scratcher all rolled into one fleabag, I reversed and paid the man $2.
Back to the window-washers, otherwise known as “squeegee guys”. The reason former mayor Guiliani was so popular was not just for 9/11 but because he actually got the police to start arresting the squeegee guys. New York city was very grateful.
