Wow, do I miss New York...

You can't mistake "I have a goal and I'm going to achieve it, goddamnit" for being rude. They got shit to do and it's gonna get done. Nothing wrong with that.

That's it, that's it exactly - well said.

I think rude people would be rude regardless of where they were raised or choose to live.

anyway, although i'm not active beyond my workouts, i might as well vouch for whatever activities the NYC area has available. dude, clubbin? is that all you're crediting NY for when it comes to an active lifestyle?

I do read them, nerd.

Like I clarified....They aren't rude, just a little abrasive for my tastes.

also, please don't give too much credit to NYers for being on the move, with purpose, gotta get that paper, etc. i'm not a NYer, but i have a well-established impression of people in this world, certainly including the city. and it's not such a great one. that impression includes laziness, being caught up in themselves or in routine, or inability-unwillingness to stop/think/take a moment. i am guilty of (some of) these as well.

in other words, if i spot a typical new yorker on his way somewhere, and he's moving fast, possibly in a rush, etc...there ain't no way in damned hell that i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. my view of the world tells me that he's probably in a rush because he's used to being in one, and that he's an impatient fuck. if he stopped for a moment, or slowed down, it would almost certainly cost him approximately nothing.

Well said. See....I read them.


The irony of my posts in this thread is, once while I was back in college I wrote very long, very heated letter to Rick Reilly (sports illustrated) after he wrote a piece essentially hating on everything NYC in general (and Yankee fans in specific lol) implying "we" were a bunch of rude, peanut spitting jailbirds. He actually wrote back complimenting me on my well written response and apologizing that it was too long to publish. I think I even said, "That guy who won't talk to you in the grocery store - he's not rude, he just has things to do."

The more time I spent away from NYC, though, the more I realized I guess how much it clashed with me.
