Wild Women, Religious Fanatics, and Methadone Clinic… Welcome to NYC

Yeah, I don’t know if the first one recorded the first blog. I did a continuation which is work so I’m going to do the first one over again like this blog thing’s new to me.

Anyway, I’m working for two different stores here in the city. One is Muslim-Lebanese and another one is Pakistan. The first store is right on 32nd Street by Penn Station. I’m outside all day convincing people to go into the store and bring some people in and sell some cameras.

If both owners are happy with what I’m doing then I’m getting a decent salary – thank God for that. The funny thing is, is this one on 32nd Street is next to a very big Catholic Church – I think it’s used by Filipinos or Chinese, different Asian Catholics or Christians.

And what’s interesting on the other side is a very big wig and hair extension store. Say of all the religious fanatics and [01:16 inaudible] fanatics with some of them – they’re praying in the front of the church while the homeless people looking for an answer or hope or praying but on the other end with this wigs and extension, it’s kind of like a lot of prostitutes or women of the night or ago-go dancers – not that ago-go dancers are prostitutes but wild women go there.

So you got the wild women, you got your religious people and then on top of all of that there’s a rehabilitation methadone clinic three doors down. So, you got these ex-drug addicts or current drug addicts – the photography is great. It’s going to add to Portraits of New York. I’m happy just for the new place I try to tell anyone.

Anyway, for the repeating myself, sorry. The Viper [02:15 inaudible] was exciting. The African dance party was exciting. It’s just Friday, Saturday and I want to get home Sunday. My ex-wife and stepdaughter are staying with the kids at my pad. I want to get home tonight. I don’t want to get detoured by an open bar party. Signing off.
