Fight and Flight

There are a few things I want from my partner. First and most important is a fine tuned recognition to what really is important to me and a real attempt to honor that. About most things I am not very picky or adamant. I'll see most movies, eat most foods, meet most people, travel almost anywhere. A good party is no better then an intimate night at home watching a DVD. But on certain issues I got my issues. Mr R failed to recognize one such issue and I was mad. Mad to the point of not wanting to see him or answer his calls for two days.
Last night he came to visit, we had a talk. He was sad and taken back and hurt. We talked and then when things cleared had a long grown ups make up. Nothing beats a good old make up in the sheets.

Craigslist Scams

Craiglist is the best resource that a newly arrived New Yorker needs. First to find a place to put your weary head at night, then to find stuff to make the bare carpets more hospitable.

I found my apartment this way, I also found all the furniture and appliances for ridiculous prices. How about doing it all at under 1000$? Cool. But I also came across some shameless scams that can leave the unsuspected naive with no money and a returned email. The first scam was actually very amusing. A 1 Br apartment in Chelsea, the nicest and gayest part of town, for 1500 $. Nice. I was striking gold here! The story got interesting when the person who responded to my add claimed to be a women living currently in Greece hence not able to show me the place, only photos. Theses were great and I was a newbie . "She...

Restart

Two years since my last post. Lazy bastard. No longer in the Empire state but a proud resident of the ever-sunny-yet-quirky Florida. After years in the big apple with occasional expeditions to the sunshine state our little family (two guys and a dog) packed our lives once more and migrated south full time for a fresh start. We survived a painful separation (long story - deserves its own post) and escaped the concrete towers to a new lush land full of trees, water, giant reptiles and Latinos. Having no state tax helped as well. Almost two years later it looks like the smartest choice I made so far in America.
