You New York Girl And Your Combat Boots
You must think you tough in them combat boots. Them boots don’t make you tough. You still a little girl. You can’t fight. Them boots don’t make you strong. I bet your feet hurt. You probably think I wanna talk to you. Don’t you, huh?
I kinda thought you looked tough in them combat boots though. Actually, them boots do kinda make you look tough. I can’t just say you a little girl. You probably can fight. Them boots do make you look kinda strong. You probably used to wearin them boots too. I kinda wanted to talk to you as soon as I got on the train.
You look tough in them combat boots. Them boots make you tough. You a strong woman. You can fight. Them boots make you strong. You wearin them boots. This your stop too? What’s your name?
How To Earn My Dollar On The Train
Riding a New York subway everyday can add up to a lot of money if you’re not careful. If you work everyday of the week, buying a monthly unlimited card for $103 is the best choice. After that, add all the other ways to spend money on the train, like train car performances.
My reality is I never give beggars my money on the subway train. My reason is because the next car over, some other fortunate riders are enjoying a train performance for free! Beggars compete with something way more appealing than their offensive smell and pathetic sob stories. Hop off the car bum, make room for the Mexican band.
The Mexican band comes through with a smile and plenty character. They usually play recognizable tunes like “Guantanamera”. On top of the pleasantries of the guitars and Mexican man vocals, the lead singer does a little shake in front of the ladies faces, which is quite embarrassing for some reason either way you look at it.
Nevertheless, these guys usually get my dollar and a smile in return. Their main competition would have to be the young break dancing crews all over the city who do flips in a crowded train car, without hitting anyone. They’re pretty amazing. Bottom line, the only way you’re getting my dollar on the train is by doing some old fashion chucking and jiving.
Ride That Hoopty ‘Til The Wheels Fall Off
Yesterday after hanging out, a friend of mine was talking about her hoopty Nissan Pulsar. I forgot the name she gave her car, but she kept referring to it as a he. He was her mom’s first car, and he means a lot. Old hoopties tend to have that effect on their owners.
She said her initial plan was to ride him until his wheels fell off (pause if applicable). Now she’s saying, “I’m not a hoopty kinda girl.” The statement was under the circumstances that she were to leave the city of New York with the hoopty; very understandable. New York is the hoopty capitol.
Anyone living in NYC should have not a care in the world the appearance of their car, so long as it’s running right. Now, leaving the city in that shit bucket is always questionable. In New York, stranded is nonexistent & public transit is always plan A. Out in the boondocks is different, and it’s not hoopty friendly.
Aside from all that, the average New Yorker should have no problem sputtering through the city in a lemon. Mechanics are always a block away, and parking that junker is never an issue. Plus losing it to tow services and parking enforcement will only be a blessing.
On the flip side, luxury vehicles in NYC are a no-no, unless you have private parking everywhere you go. Besides, hoopties can run anywhere from $500 to $2500. You can’t beat the savings, and the convenience of a clunker in NYC. Forget pride and style, you definitely won’t stand out in NYC traffic in a hoopty. If you gotta drive outta the city, renting a car is always an option.
