Gotham

I've never had New York Lust. I've never desperately wanted to go to the Big Apple and see the bright lights of the city. Until recently.
Its always seemed so cliche to want to go to New York, NY. Countless characters from musicals, books, movies, plays, and even songs go there to 'make it.' It's the Los Angeles of the East Coast. It's worse than that. It's more glorified and ageless.
For some reason an interest in the the city that never sleeps has been percolating in me and every day I get more interested in dropping everything and going there. Inherent wanderlust, I suppose. I don't know if i was born with it, or if it was engrained in me at a young age, but I get geographical cabin fever if I stay in one place for too long. I have to change everything and learn to live a new way. I know how to live in San Francisco, I know where to go to have fun in San Francisco, I know how to be bored in San Francisco. I don't know how to live in New York. It's a mystery to me. It's something I want to find out about.
