I\u2019ve lived here my whole life and have seen and experienced a lot just by being a New Yorker\u2026.or should I say \u201cNew Yawker\u201d, as it is pronounced in our local native tongue.  The day to day life here is very different than it is in most places. The hustle, the bustle, and the sights you see sometimes can cause even the most bubbly and perky person (Yeck!) to become a bit jaded. I mean you can a see a sight like this one on the subway and  have most people not even blink about it.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\" color=\"#333399\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><object><\/object><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\" color=\"#333399\">I am sure most of you have heard by now of the 5.8 earthquake that hit Virginia today and rocked a good portion of the east coast in the process. Well it sure rocked here, too!  I was in one of my local stores picking up some groceries this afternoon. I hadn\u2019t any need for anything dairy so I guess I missed out on my chance for an easy MILK SHAKE!  Bwahahahahaha!!!! (Sorry for the corn there. Would you like some butter for it? Oops, sorry, forgot. No dairy \ud83d\ude09  Anyway\u2026\u2026 I was in the checkout line paying for my items when I suddenly felt dizzy. I put it to the fact that it was wayyyy past my lunchtime and I had not bothered to eat yet but then suddenly \u2026I think Carole King can say it best..\u2026.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><object><\/object><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\" color=\"#333399\">My first thought was \u201cWow, this place has some really crappy floors here. I feel like I am going to fall right through it.\u201d However, as I turned my head I noticed the water in the bottled water display shaking and swaying as well so I knew something was going on beyond just some crappy flooring problem.  Yup, I was experiencing my very own little mini earthquake (well, tremor, really) and still didn\u2019t even know it at the time. When I found out a few moments later what had happened, my very own little jaded New Yawker thought was  \u201cGlad the big one didn\u2019t hit while I was in there. I sure didn\u2019t want to die in a crappy place like that.\u201d  I then went on with my day\u2026.slightly shaken\u2026.but having just added yet one more experience to my always expanding book of adventures in a day in my life in the Big Apple!<\/font><br \/>\n<object><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NYC \u2013 The song says \u201cIf you can make it there, you can make it anywhere\u201d.
