a year of silence

4/10/14

  After reading the previous entries concerning my trip to New York, it my seem as if i'm experiencing paradise-itis. A condition whereupon a vacation spot takes on a utopian quality in the tourist's mind. Rest assured, i did not fall prey to this subjective delusion. New York City, like any other place, has redeeming qualities as well as deleterious ones. It is just up to the individual to choose which aspects to dwell on.
  But i can say unequivocally, that in my case, wandering the streets of Manhattan while peering out from my glass jar with the loose lid, proved much more enjoyable than striding around in a suit of armor with a bull horn pressed to my lips.
