You all know I am moving and it is like a divorce...I can't wait for it to be over and it evokes a lot of emotion including grief and anger. It is a death for me. My home is sandwiched between the NYU and USPS and to never be neighbors with them again is a good feeling. To never have to look out my window at all the mega dorms including the Palladium mega dorm, The New School mega dorm and the memory of the parishioners crying and praying on the street, turned out for the destruction of St. Ann's from 1847 for NYU student housing, the destruction of a historic building and the USPS owned the air rights and felt hey we are federal so we don't have to notify the State of New York as they were legally obligated to do so, kind of like blocking a fire hydrant and saying, hey let the NYPD ticket and tow the USPS van!
I write to bring awareness because the newspapers with the exception of AM New York and Metro the free paper mostly don't cover the truth of what is going on. Fox 5 news did cover "the storm" which is a smaller take on the tsunami word choice I chose to show all the small businesses being pushed out...telling their rent and what the land lords now want so it is getting more and more coverage but when you can't get The New York Times to cover the Stuy Town affordable housing rally -- it is time to rename the paper The NY Times for the rich and eminent domain abusers...and the villager renamed not the villager anymore of the villager-nyu ville local paper because the little paper caters to NYU and it mostly it's mouth piece and it feels like this to me -- it caters to the mini mike wannabees, just my feelings.
It is all very depressing and not fun. I am almost 46 years old and I want children. People say adopt. I do not have the money to adopt children and I want to do it all naturally. Both men and women that do not have children will tell you on some level you mourn the not having. I also think I am too old and too tired. I don't even know if my knees could sustain a natural pregnancy and I did donate my white blood cells twice so maybe it is for the best but my body is still giving me the message loud and clear, baby, baby, baby, I want babies...I even feel my body swell in all the right places...Just want to get away to a quiet place for the first time in my life and since I don't recognize the city I do think about leaving....but where to go...?
It is late morning for me and I have not read the papers yet. For my own health and healing I want to take a time out.
thanks for anyone who supports me, loves me and has shined their kindness on me.

posted this on another blog in response to a photo of what was The Continental but now is a bar tha offers 5 shots for 10 bucks...
.just shows the extreme decline in all directions ...from community crushing supersizing for NYU domination destruction mega dorms, developers with sky piercing glittery condos & mirrored hotels and mass evictions for private mansions in the name of "progress" we call destruction for what " the new soulless New York" in contrast to this photo where live bands once had a platform to get up and potentially shine or at least be heard... decline in both directions...sad.... NYC was once the most happening city and now it is like ancient Rome in decline..
