New York: Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of
I’ve been running around like crazy this week and I haven’t posted as much as I’d like to. It’s the city. It’s fast, maddening, weird, fun, exciting and heartbreaking. I’ll be more active on the blog next week. In the meantime … As I mentioned last week, this year’s remaining Saturdays on Funky Brown Chick are dedicated to highlighting your favorite posts. I often forget new people stumble on the site and/or some of the longterm readers may have missed random older stuff. I have nearly 5 years and more than 900+ entries uploaded, and I neatly file everything in categories. Last Saturday’s post linked to readers favorites from the “Dating and Mating” section. Today, in case you missed it, below are a few reader favorite “New York” posts:
In Pictures: Tuesday, November 4, 2008. (Psst! When you vote in New York, you get free condoms.)
Happy New Year, I’m Starting Over!
Greetings from The Empire State!
How To Kiss A Boy and/or a Girl
“A Guide to Embracing Life as a Single …”
Interracial Dating: The Brown Chick Who Sometimes Dates White Dudes
And, because I like it and it’s relevant, here’s the MTV VMA clip from native New Yorkers Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ performance of Empire State of Mind. As a native Midwesterner who moved to the city nearly five years ago, my favorite line from song is: “New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of. There’s nothin’ you can’t do out of New York. These streets will make you feel brand new. Big lights will inspire you.” So true.

’tis a caution
when you run
thru your town
’cause you dont wish
to miss
a thang
and everywhere you go
you’re like a kid
in a candy store
again
and you dont want to miss a moment
nor be left behind
because around
every corner
’tis a caution
and down every street
a gold mine….
