New York Love.

I just got back from new york last week.  it was incredible.  the sites, smells and all the vegetarian food you could ever as for.  the subways are incredible and it truly made me hate my car.  i hate that i have to drive everywhere in lethbridge... it sucks so bad.  the best moment of my trip however, was waking up after an extremely long night of pubs and city streets to the rush of the subway down below. 7th & Driggs. i loved it.  I found New York to be a very inspirational place to be for music, specifically Brooklyn.  There are so many young people out there trying to get away from the life they used to have somewhere else.  It is a place of escape. Thats probably why i loved it so much.  I worked quite a bit on my writing while i was there.  Not so much musically, but lyrically.  trying to describe what you see, how you feel and bringing those experiences to life through another medium. i would sit by the window, with the trains rushing past below the city streets, watching people as they walk, doing their best to keep to themselves.  The interesting thing is that they really were friendly people beneath their rough exterior. I will live there someday. Whether its for a couple months or a couple years, i don't really care.  I just felt calm and at peace there.  When it all comes down to it, thats all i want to feel.
