My knees hurt

Yesterday was the first day of 789 which runs from the 8th till the 12th in NYC. I got in around 1 and walked around Time Square doing a horrible job of filming, the tape is jumpy, I have a lot of butt shots, feet, heads cut off, and sun glare, but it’s the city, I was distracted. 

I met Chris around 3:33, not planned for that exact time, but pretty cool. We walked around Time Square till around 5 when Billi was getting out of work. The gathering was set to meet at Columbus Circle by Central Park.

There were a few people there I knew of and most I didn’t. I horribly attempted to sometimes film, but again footage is extremely amateur.

After walking around for a while we went back to Time Square to eat at Dave & Busters where we played in the arcade until the money ran out.

After Dave & Busters some of the group disbursed and the rest went to walk around yet again...it’s NYC, that’s what you do, you walk around.

Karaoke always seems like a good idea around 1am so that’s where we went:

Waiting for the subway to karaoke

Karaoke was fun as always:

Afterwards we walked to a park and hung out for a while till I had to head back to the island, but not before seeing this restaurant that I had to take a picture of:

Well I didn’t get on a train till 5, takes me an hour to get home, but I watched the sun rise from my train car (which I had to myself). I considered taking a cab from the station home since by then I had walked around 17 hours straight (minus the time sitting while eating dinner) but I decided to take the road less traveled and walked home...I think another 3 miles or so. I was almost hit a few times, people honked, some slowed down, I was hit by sprinklers that just turned on, and when I was almost there my phone sent me a facebook message saying that I was missing and could anyone who’s seen me call my parents...

I forgot to mention I had drank 2 LARGE MONSTER drinks during the day and so pretty much all of today I spent sleeping, and when I tried to stand up I couldn’t move my legs which is why my knees hurt, you dirty dirty bird.

I went back on the 11th to meet all the “famous” YouTubers, and it was nice to see that they were so easy going. I’m not the type of person who actually gets excited about meeting “famous” people because, well they’re just people, and whatever I may know or think I know about them, I don’t really know them. I find it’s more plausible to be excited to see family and friends than someone “famous” because you don’t really know them and getting a signature never made sense to me either. Why do I want their name one an object or a piece of paper? Is this object or piece of paper going to help me in some way on my journey through life? No.

Still, it got me out of the house, and being a hermit that’s a good thing. I mingled, I even got lost and people I came with had to find me because I kept walking away. All in all, I would do it again, hopefully after I’m a little more well known and have actually done something on YouTube or in life I’m proud of...for now I’m proud that I’m honest, caring, and dependable, and I suppose at least to me that’s worth any signature. (wow, that sort of sounded conceded, sorry....uh here’s the gathering to distract you!)
