Mi Amigo Esteban (Part Dos)

...so it's my boy Steve's birthday today and I just wanna wish him the biggest of birthday wishes. Stevie, may your year be filled with inner beauty. Just not the inner beauty of Uganda. I'd write more but then I'd be stomping on the sentiment of the birthday card so I'll stop here. Happy Birthday Ricarte!

On another note, Ed and I went to the Natural Museum of History today. I was hoping to see Ross from 'Friends' working there but he must've had a day off. It's amazing how a few dinosaur bones can bring out the inner geek in you. For you trivia freaks - did you know the scientific word for 'rat is 'rattus rattus'?

I've had three bacon cheeseburgers in the past 48 hours. That can't be good.

Song of the Day: "1 Thing" - Amerie (my NYC song)

fat chicks and clothes...

...so we all went out to dinner in New York tonight in Greenwich Village with Steve, Ed, Riss and Mike J and I learnt many new things:

- Ed has a shopping fetish. Total clothes whore. *I* admit I'm a shop-a-holic, but I ain't got NOTHING on Ed.
- ***** is an idealist and entered the lottery of chicks and won the 'fat prize'.
- Both ***** and Mike J like rackage. AND Patricia Heaton. For those who don't know, Patricia Heaton is the wife on 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. I KNOW RIGHT? WHAT THE...?
- Riss can down tequila like there's no tomorrow and can outlast any of the males I know. And that's a lot of males.
- I miss my boyfriend. A lot.
- Mike J drives like he's a NASCAR driver. Which is a good thing when you're busting to go to the bathroom.
- Mike J has never gone to a gay bar. It is now my mission to take him to one. I don't care if he's kicking and screaming...which might actually help in a gay bar.

For my peeps back home -
Maria: I bought a shirt today just because it reminded me of you.
Rhandy: I thought of a shirt that would be perfect for you...I'll keep it a surprise though ;) Wish you were here, bro.
Matt: All the girls here miss you! I love you.

OK Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!

Song of the day: "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - Poison

New York, New York

...so I arrived in New York a crazy 48 hours ago and it's been a whirlwind so far. Highlights include:

- Seeing my friends who I haven't seen in a looooong ass time
- Satisfying my craving for buffalo wings at Steve's local bar
- Taking Googz's younger bro, Nathan, to his first NYC gay bar...and watching him struggle when he was gettin hit on
- Seeing someone throw up in the urinal next to mine while I was pissing. Niiiice.
- Everyone completely wasted by 2am on Friday night. Much respect to Googz for playing catch up.
- Watching Mikey get deflated on his air bed. Literally.
- Having the 3 million egg omelette @ Moonstruck diner - our new must-visit-when-drunk diner.
- Freezing to death at the Yankees-Blue Jays baseball game
- Steve scoring a free Yankees blanket by applying for a credit card with his Australian address. "I live in Bankstown, New York".
- Steve releasing a toxic fart in the subway which somehow found Mikey and I EVEN THOUGH HE WAS HALF A CARRIAGE AWAY. I can't believe his farts come with radar now.
- Getting totally lost walking to SoHo and ending up in Chinatown.
- Satisfying my second craving for pizza by ordering 3 large pizzas...no one told us that the slices were bigger than our HEADS.

Gonna go shopping today for new shoes. Hi everyone back home!

p.s. I miss you mB. (No not you Maria Benilda...although I do miss you too...but not in the same way)
