I don't honestly get the whole college thing. I've been brainwashed same as everybody else about its greatness and how it leads to infinite wealth.
Hell wouldn't mind having a goddamn mountain of money like college grads do, but I'm not totally fucked in life am I. I got a little shitty decent job. I'm at a place where I work on aircraft my passion in life. It's a good environment being at Laguardia. I've been a New Yorker all my life. I've been here since I was born. I've been in penn station as a kid after our amtrak trip to Florida. I've been to LGA and JFK as a kid many times as my parents took me to grandmas house. I do indeed feel at home here in the city. I never feel like I don't belong. I've been here since I was a little kid, EVERYTHING about NY feels old to me. I've seen it all my life.
I look at the kids at LGA and I know what they're going through. I've been in their shoes sitting there waiting for the baggage claim to come up with the luggage. I was there too.
I've been there as a kid waiting to board a plane. I remember how I LOVED the moment when you finally step foot on a plane. I don't want to ruin that for the kids I see going through those first few steps in life when they get on a plane. So I don't bother them, I just watch them going through the same shit I did.
It's amazing to me to be like watching the next generation being introduced to the world. It really is. I'm both terrified and excited for them. There's much to see, much fun to be had. And much pain to be endured.
I'm a New Yorker, this fucking town will give you some goddamn scars, that's the damn truth...
Gonna hopefully keep this job though. It's not far, that's the only good thing about it. The bigger issues are when you have to go long distance to work. Merely taking a train and bus, I'm more happy about to be honest. And the pay isn't too bad. If you stay long and get overtime money, your check goes through the fucking roof, so it's definitely right up my alley.
I say to myself just get a goddamn moped and drive myself to work, that's the end of taking the fucking shitty subway. I don't condone anyone taking that death trap of a thing. I mean just, there's all kinds of fucked up form of humanity going places on there. At least at the airport, you'll be amongst people with some sense of dignity and sanity, but not so on the subway. Fucking psychos with nothing to lose, homeless fucked up people. Lord knows why you rarely see white people on the subway, they don't generally hang out on it i notice. No way, taking the higher road no doubt.
Must be something else being white, must be. You don't live life feeling like you got to be on other race's level and that's awesome. I wish I could feel that way...
