RE: New York City: Is it really that Hot?
As a former New Yorker, (upper east side, midtown, soho) I had the most memorable and wonderful years of my life, while residing in the city.
New York is excitement, it is unbound energy, it is like living inside a shopping mall. You need exercise? Just go outside and walk the streets.
The air and faucet water has an electric quality, and you are always on the go. There is a strange energy there that draws you like a magnet, and blesses you with it.
New Yorkers have a no bullshit attitude, and don't get pushed around much, because they tell things like it is.
All that the best is in New York, the best restaurants, stores, women, entertainment, culture, art, intelligentsia, schools, medical care.
New York like the famous song says, "If you can make it there, you make it anywhere", is not for losers, religious nuts, or new born Jesus freaks. It is not for older folks either, is for the young blood.
If you work there, you must get out of the city at least every other weekend, to rest your mind and bones.
And if you live there, you must have lot's of money, or it is not fun. Otherwise go the the cheap hill billy and red neck towns where the rift raft lives. LOL.
To post pictures of the sad events of 9/11/01, to show human suffering is low, on the other hand is a reminder how New Yorkers came together as a unit, and supported the rescue efforts and cried next to the police and firemen heroes.
The person that post such terrible photos just to denigrate a beautiful and vibrant city with such a sad story, must be a real sick puppy.

All that for a simple insult?

I wish you a double dose of your wishes for me, por si las moscas!

Wake up and smell the Tsunami. Hummin' coming at you!

Arsenio when I am your age there is a great chance I will feel the same way. I already look at pictures of mountain ranges like the one you posted and wonder when I'll live with a view like that.

But it is indeed a young man's city, so for now I am proud to call it home. It is definitely a real rat race in here, but (for me so far) it is a lucrative rat race and as they say .... if you can make it here you can make it anywhere.


HateroPardo:

Let's hope you can reach the age of 55, in that race, in this time in history; It ain't gettin' any easier!

But, money can't buy your life when it's gone. With a little money a person can go a long way;
Afterall, money is a piece of paper. Also, "the love of money is the root of all evil" -- 1 Timothy 6:10.
Still further, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"--Mark 8:36.

These are sobering thoughts, brother. You can choose to heed them, or just ignore them?

There's no pun intended, no malice; It's just that my personal experience has allowed me to gain this insight; And,as you may know from your area of expertise: You can't instill an insight on (or in) some else....

This is what I had in mind when I started this thread; It's not just me that's calling my folks out of Babylon? (my daughter and son live in the borough); There's a myriad of people doing so, as this gentleman here did in March:

AN URGENT MESSAGE

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE - EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.
There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).

In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment—just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?

First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven—his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).

I will say to my soul: No need to run...no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take—trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.

Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.

God bless and keep you,

In Christ,

DAVID WILKERSON

Por Dios pero que es lo tuyo, mano?

Sacame el guante ya!

Y vas a seguir con los ganchos y puyas?

Pero los relajitos tuyos son de carajitos, no de hombres. Grow the hell up, son!

All that pent up anti-Christian and yes, anti-Dominican anger you harbor isn't for me.
You have major issues! You need a check from the neck up.

Soho, and upper east side. I didn't want to go there! But, what?
Man, you must have meant the Fort Washington Shelter?
Soho or upper east side?

What you're a Duppy, now? A Dominican yuppie? Not, with your pedigree. Tu eres un pata raya, salta-pa tras, un ladron de cordel, y paletero de varias generaciones.
So don't pull that game on the unsuspecting public. The only areas down town you knew in NYC was around Times Square near the Port Authority Terminal; and further down the east village, where the alternative lifestyle dudes like you swarm looking for companionship. The Piers on the shores of the lower Hudson River are what you know.

Upper east Side? Yeah, 128 st. and Park ave. Chasing the genie!

Tribeca?
Little Italy? For get about it!

How about the Bowery. You scallywag.
But, SOHO? How about NO-Ho? What are you a sophisticate, and Artiste, like your compatriote Basquiat?

Stop pulling my chain. Give it a rest for goodness' sake with the crap about the opus dei and the illuminati. I already revealed your identity as a Jesuit. So, your diversionary tactics are in vain at this point.
The stigma is on you. The ball is in your court. The focus is on you not me!

Mandame los Opus Dei, o al diablo y su hermano. Que le voy a chubar el Perro!


I ain't scared of men? You see my name and my photo on this post don't you?
You perpetrator, paperback gangster.

My dare still holds------ show your picture if you are so big and bad; Mr. took over Dominican Today since he stepped on the scene. Tu estas acabando; pero, con tu propia vida, fresco viejo,imprudente y entremetio.

Crees que arrancas cabezas y escupes sangre;
Sigues jugando pisa-cola manganzon!
Dedicate a algo constructivo y dejaste de estar insultando a hombres,fresco! Ya se acabo el recreo, pepito.
Te envio este coquotaso pa que te calles ya! Maca-chicle. Juancito busca fiesta.

Sigues tu mision de alborotar a mis paisanos con tus temas repetitivos y cargados de odio sobre vainas como racismo en R.D. y La solucion al problema Haitiano. Palomo de campo embuyao. Stirring the letrina is your forte, mon chef.



Vuelves a tu mision Jesuita busca pleitos. Mas claro que eso no se te puede pintar.
Ahora, mon frere: Di perejil! Lengua larga. Cuentista de batey.
Sigues alborotando las hormigas!
Creo que con esta denuncia el que no se percate de tu trabajo en este Foro, es porque esta ciego o no le cabe consejo!
