Humans of New York

Throughout the day I love to look at different blogs, that are quick reads. Partly to remind myself of the out side world and partly to take my mind off some school work. One of my favorites to read is Humans of New York. I have only been New York City ac couple of times, but its a really cool place and I enjoyed visiting a lot. This blog gives more insight to the people of the city which I find really interesting. One of my favorite things about the blog is how regularly it is updated, which means there is always something new to look out when I log on.

Here are some of my favorite posts:

Normally I have to approach people for quotes. But this kid walked right up to me, held his certificate in the air, and screamed: “I played at Carnegie Hall!”

"I’ve had a lot of magic in my life." “Tell me something magic.” “When they were young, my parents met an American couple in a sunday school in Shanghai. Over the years, they kept running into this same couple, as they traveled through different parts of the world. So they jokingly made a pact that their firstborn children would be married. Then my parents had me, and the other couple had a son. I didn’t meet the man until late in life, when I was already deeply in love with another man. But I fell in love with him and we got married.” “Wow, that is cool.” “That’s not even the craziest part. Want to hear the craziest part?” “Absolutely.” “My husband had three previous engagements. And the morning we met, he was cooking three eggs, and each of them had double yolks.”

He started out explaining that his mom was not ordinary, because she “listens to hip hop.” Then I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. “A graffiti artist,” he said. “What’s the toughest part about being a graffiti artist?” I asked. “Running from the cops,” said Mom.
