im so fucking sore and tired tonight. i walked the entire day from around 12 noon till midnight, while carrying my backpack with all my shit in it. i started out down by battery park to meet raul and close my bank account and get cash out since i already spent all my cash in florida without realizing i would need it in nyc. cant take cash out with my german credit card so i pretty much wouldnt have been able to eat at any small restaurants (including foodswings)

his bank is down on the south end of manhattan so i walked around and saw the statue of liberty, the new york stock exchange, and the world trade center. then i walked all the way up to the lower east side to do some shopping. i also found the store i needed for a friend who wanted some jeans brought back for her. then i went to moo shoes to check out their vegan boots but they were way too expensive so i said peace out bros. then i walked over the williamsburg bridge to get back into brooklyn because i thought it would be nice to take some pics of the skyline from the bridge as the sun was setting. but i forgot about the high chain fences that keep you from taking nice pics. so ..i didnt get any nice pics. then i met with raul and my friend craig who just moved to philly from long beach and came out to nyc to hang! last time i saw him was when him and evey crashed at my house for a week last february. so that was a sweet reunion. we ate lots of shitty but awesome vegan food at foodswings. i got a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, 2 pieces of fried chicken, and a mint cookie milk shake. raul went home but me and craig decided to walk from williamsburg down to the brooklyn bridge. i was a bit nervous because foodswings always gives me the shits big time...and at first when we started our hour long walk, my stomach was starting to act really sketchy. but thankfully it went away..that would have sucked because we definitely would have been in the middle of nowhere, with no bathrooms. so..fuck yea!!! we walked through the crazy hasidic jew part of brooklyn which is like a completely different world, passed some creepy abandoned houses and finally made it to the bridge in freezing cold. hung out there for a bit, then we took the train up to central park where we walked around and then got some hot chocolate and headed back home because by that time i was so fucking tired, i could barely keep my eyes open. and i feel a million knots in my shoulders right now...i wish massages were cheap because i would go get one tomorrow. anyways it was worth it because today ruled and i didnt have to crap the whole time.
