Kick boxing class today. totally kick ass. my instructor is a five foot Asian gen-y’r with  a good sense of humor and one powerful kick.

Juliet sent me a big old black scarf in the mail that she knitted herself!!! I don't think anyone has ever made me anything like that. I cannot explain how happy it made me. I am so happy I could just scream out loud. I am forever indebted to her and will always look out for her like a soulmate-brother. 

There is a blizzard coming this weekend. You can feel it in the air all over the city. New York is like no other place on earth when it comes to the cold weather because it is a place where no one drives. Unlike other places where it gets cold such as Minnesota or Vermont or Massachusetts etc, everyone walks everywhere here. So cold weather really means something different to New Yorkers than to other people around the country. No matter how fucking cold it gets you're still walking that ten blocks to work or the grocery store or to the nearest subway station.

Everyone is bundled up. you cannot even see anyone's face on the street. Just big bundled up blobs of dark warm clothing passing you by quickly. The only way you can tell these are actual people is because you can see everyone’s breath when they pass you by. The mood is anxious on the street. Everyone preparing for two or more feet of snow and freezing temperatures for two days. And you see, the thing of it is that we still have to walk through that to get to where ever we want to go. what a strange place. you still have to walk through it. you have to walk very carefully or else you will slip and fall on your ass on the hard sidewalk or on the subway stairs.
