TheFLY 4000 -- after 4000 posts I'm moving to NYC...
 

Well I'm not kidding... I love Florida, but one of my good friends in Brooklyn has an extra room -- seemed like a great opportunity!

Wow, excellent! It'd be better if you were the Crowned Prince of Porn in Manhattan instead, but Bronx'll do too. Have fun man! NYC is great!:thumbsup

yay! :thumbsup

Good choice dude, Nina totally wants you. And her hairy lipped girlfriend does too I hear.

Bronx <> Brooklyn

Congrats on the move regardless!

I dunno, dude...do think you can handle it? It's a BIG step up from FL...lol

That's right... we're waiting for you...

DH

I'd go just for Nina. :zzwhip

From Florida to Brooklyn??? Uhm ok :helpme

My thoughts exactly! :1orglaugh
You're gonna be SO outta your element! But, hey...more power to ya. I give ya credit for actually doing it...if, in fact you actual do.

I wouldn't go back to New York again for any damn reason.....

Brooklyn sucks you have to come over to Jamaica Estates.Brooklyn is not the safest place to live

Back in about 1999 my best friend and I were in art school together -- we did shows all of the time -- my art was at a peak... We agreed to move to NY together... We drove up there in my GTI -- half of the shit was his -- other half was mine -- we traveled light. We stayed in his dead grandmother's brownstone in Brooklyn -- but they were selling it so we only had one week to find a place to live... At that point in my life I wasn't willing to step down my standard of living -- and my best friend didn't have the kind of income that I did. Our friendship died mostly because of my greed... I was there a week -- my good friend Gustavo was supposed to hook me up with a job at DoubleClick... Really it's hard as hell to find an apartment in NY if you don't have a lot money -- and Brad Shaw had just ripped me off $1000... Most NY apartments do all kinds of background checks on you -- and being self-employed, it's not very easy to pass w/o two years of 1040's which I didn't have... My friend never got me an interview... I fell for an NYC apartment scam... I found one apartment in Hoboken but it wasn't very thrilling -- that area kindof bored the piss out of me -- besides I wasn't really looking forward to taking a fucking train to work every day -- BORING. Things were not looking up... I was out shopping one day -- and a fucking pick-pocket steals my $300 cell phone (just bought it w/o theft protection plan)... That just blew my fuse... I didn't even see it happen -- otherwise I would have had some relief kicking that fucker's ass... But I never saw the guy... I was watching one of those street artists when I was robbed. You got to watch your back all the time in NY I guess. Well after that I moved back to Florida... I had a lot of fun -- but all this time I've given up on NY. Meanwhile my friends have been forging away there -- so I'm off to exploit all of their hard work ;) This time I think I'm ready to face the "big city"... I'm going with nothing to lose to advance my art career... I'm not looking for fame -- just to be around more stimulation and creative-minded/appreciative individuals. If anyone tries to rob me I will split their skull on the pavement :)

you'll like it here, great choice

I wish you the best pete. Your a good loyal guy in my book. I love the women in NY.. Dark hair and Dark eyes My fav Just watch out for the Trashy NJ Italian wannabees who all think there dad is a Don. Some of the Best Italian and Russian looking women I have ever seen there. I have been dying to go back to NY, When I do I'll join you,nina and all the others I know.

Happy 4000th post.

Friends Always Snow

Fuckin great! Welcome back!:thumbsup

oops

Well thanks for the support guys... I guess I need to start packing... I'll definitely post pics once I get settled.

Almost at 4000... This is too much work.

So you got robbed & scammed the short time you were there & you're sayin' that you're get split some fuckers wig if he robs you? What makes ya think it's gonna be any different this time? Maybe you're a little less naive in life, but goin' from trailer park FL to NYC is still a shitload diiferent. Shit...I've lived in the city all my life & STILL bad shit happens to me. It's not like the Tobaccy-spittin', good ol' boys of FL.

And you were saying that you didn't wanna take the train to work, but you better get used to gettin' to know those train/bus schedules. :1orglaugh Even if you have a car, you're not gonna wanna take it out a lot. Parking's a bitch here...II can't imagine how bad it is there.

Well, good luck to ya, man. :thumbsup

Well good point... I'll do my best to stay out of trouble ;) Anyway, it's not all trailer parks here, but I won't miss the rednecks.

I'll probably sell my car but my friend says parking near his brownstone is not bad... I don't mind the train or subway -- my point was that it would suck to get up every morning early -- walk to train station, ride train, etc. to work... every day after day... not fun.

How is the life there in NYC, Pete ?

How and the fuck did I miss this?

That's why the bumpy coalition was created. To give others the opportunity to check the forgotten but good threads.

I'm bumpy maniac !

Again?? You just moved !

I love when we bump threads and the people read them as if it were started today :)

Indeed. Silly JFK.

I think threads older than... oh... a month (a week?) should somehow be color coded on the main page so people know it's been bumped.
