Yeah I was supposed to go home end of July/beginning of August. I got temporarily stuck in this bitch. I hate being stuck LOL. I remember pre Giuliani NY so I have a very low tolerance for this city in its current condition.
I try to make the best of it tho and the free summer concerts are some of the best of it for sure. I am just very homesick right now

 

[greygoose]
