This morning was highly uneventful, and I slept most of the day. I watched 1,000 Ways to Die with my aunt, while we waited for my cousin to get back. Around five pm, we started getting ready to go.
I got dressed, then me and my cousin walked down to the park to meet my aunt and my cousin's friend, Shakira. Her name isn't actually Shakira, its just easier than calling her 'the friend'. Anyway, after convincing my other aunt that she should come too, we hung out at the park until everyone was ready.
Then, we hit the subway.
We rode the A train, all the way from Brooklyn to 42nd street. The ride was uneventful and the stations are HOT. They do not air condition those places, so that you don't linger in there on hot days. In. Out. That's all. When we came up from the station, it literally stopped my breath.
New York is beautiful at night.
Granted, there were thousands of people streaming in and out of stores. Across streets, through buildings, out of cars. People everywhere, talking, laughing, shouting, singing. Then there were musicians, and cab drivers. Vendors, street performers, people trying to get their mixed CDs out, people tryin to sell tickets. It was gloriously busy and bustling. But the lights. It was so bright it almost felt like noon. It was as if you were in a huge building and they made the ceiling look like the sky. Everything was lit up. Everything! And everything was huge. I really had to strain my neck to see the tops of the buildings. Luckily, there's plenty of interesting things to look at on ground level.
For example, I saw:
Elmo
Batman
Cookie Monster
Mario
Luigi
Hello Kitty
Spiderman
Naked Cowboy
A Saxophone Player
A Drum Player with no hands
And those are just some of the people I saw. I went into The Sanrio store. There was soooo much cute stuff. I could have easily spent all my money in there. Bam! All gone. But I refrained and just bought one little thing for Sweetness. I hope she likes it! We also went to the Disney store (HUGE) and I bought Pooka a Cars shirt. It's really big, but they didn't have smaller sizes. He'll like it though, I'm not worried. Where else did we go? Hmm....OH! We went to M&M World. I didn't buy anything from there, but it smelled heavenly. I thought about buying a cute little teddy bear with a green sweater on, but I couldn't find a price. So I didn't. After that, we headed home. Unfortunately, my camera died. But I took plenty of pictures to recount what I did. It was magnificent, and it only heightens my want to live out here someday. I loved it.
Friday, we're leaving here at 4am to get on the train (the subway) and we're going to Central Park to see Ne-Yo. It will be just me and my Aunt as far as I know. She's the only one who likes him as much as I do. That, and everyone else has plans, or thinks its too early. Nothing is too early for free concerts. Seriously! I was also thinking of buying tickets to see something on Broadway. I don't know if I have enough money. I'll check tonight though. Online of course.
Anyway, I've got to retire. My back is killing me and I'm sleepy for once. I'm glad I finally had something to write about today. It was fantastic and I can't wait for Friday.See you tomorrow, love.

P.S: The Naked Cowboy wears underwear. And He's not very attractive. :( Also, Batman was black, cocky, and you had to pay him. So I did not get his picture. He was also dripping with sweat....ew.
