My time in New York City is coming to an end. In a week I'll be Upstate and by the winter I plan being somewhere down by the Southwest if I don't end up with my friend in Europe. So much has happened these past two years I'm still wrapping my head around it, even as I write it all down in my journal.
When I go Upstate, first thing I plan on doing is getting my guitar and pedals and amp and locking myself in the attic. Afterwards I plan on taking a canoe down the old river, probably will be that way for a whole week, a whole month. Trips plenty.
The big apple is lonesome, but not the good kind. I am one who is always fine alone. But in the big city, being surrounded by the machine, being stared at with those dumb grins and the bewildered eyes, I am resorted to keeping my head down when I go out, even just to have a cigarette.
The lockdown is only going to make it worse, no major city is exempt from what is to come. The people want more time in their life at the expense of their ability to enjoy it in its fruits and discontents. Every time a person goes to ring the doorbell on the entrance, I look at this stranger with an immense anger like I've never felt before. Time and circumstance aways knows how to push me, now it's time to see where I'll land!

I live in Upper Manhattan now and I would like to meet some cool and interesting individuals in any of the Boroughs. Hopefully from there we can exchange good conversation and ideas, (among other things. No sodomy, that costs extra!) . If you're interested, reply or direct message me and we'll talk further.
Au revoir.
I decided on taking myself and my girlfriend to live in the city of New York. I am already making some connections that may aid the transition. My main point is I don't know what to expect, but I think that will be beneficial. I plan on recording this trip in its own journal, from the departure to the rises and pitfalls that will accompany our first few months surviving. We will have a minimal amount to begin with but the challenge will reward our continued integrity.
If you're a traveler too, or you've undergone a brand new move similar to this, please share it along with everything you've learned and advice you would give to others.
Until next time,
-Clyde
