ok today, i had taken some time off from freelance and wanted to upgrade a lot of stuff in my apt, so like i could surprise my wife when she gets back from business over-seas.
so i get all twisted up in my mind to decide what to get, and i head first to the container store in chealsea, i buy a new industrial brushed metal garbage can for the kitchen, and 1 stell mesh waste basket for my office. then i head over to west elm ( http://www.westelm.com ) and i get a bunch of stuff to be delivered and a bunch of hand carrys. i get 2 mesh hampers, one for me and one for her. i get all new sheets and towels and a lot of knick nacks and cool stuff!
so im out the door happy with my new storage stuff and then BAM!!! it starts raining, and my hands are massively full and hailing a cab in nyc when it rains seems always like there are never any available taxis. so after waiting in the rain near the curb with all these bags, a car finally stops and its one of them lincoln private cars and the guy tells me it will cost me $55 to get me home to queens, i tell this italian to fuck off!!!
i wait for my yellow ride!!! so finally i get someone who stops, i get in, we pass Limelight, i get all reminiscent of party drugs and then BAM!!! another taxi crashes right into the front quarter panel right side. huge accident and thank god no one got hurt, so i take my belongings and wait for the cops so i can give my report. 35 minutes later i finally get the approval from the cops i can go. at this time rush hour has engulfed the city!!!! subway an immpossibility with the large items i had, and taxis now dont want to travel to queens during rush hour, so a hell lot of cabs are dissing me left and right, those motherbitches!!!!! 1 finally stops and i put my stuff in the trunk and i felt like it was tighter than the last and there was his stuff in there as well. ok 27th street 6th ave headed uptown stop and go stop and go left lane right lane fucking dr.suess taxi driving at its best in the rain! oh no!!! BAM!!!! flat tire!!! i dont believe it!!! i was just in an accident!! ok bryantt park, i get out i dont pay, i tell him fuck off!!!! jump into another taxi, we get locked in traffik b4 getting onto the bridge, this driver turns around we start bullshiting i tell him my crazy day, he laughs and askes why i went all the way to manhattan to get what i did and why didnt i just stay local.
so i show him my wedding ring and he understood.
i love ny!!!
