where I used to live in Forest Hills/Rego Park area there used to be a 7-11 and a Waldbaums in the same parking lot - now, that's what I call CHILLIN'! Now I live in Brooklyn and its so boring here with all the "birds" 
and the nightlife and all... not sure about birdhouses though still - don't wanna attract too many of 'em - maybe just a feeding tray or smth

yeah. i work 5:30 at night till 5:30 in the morning. i got stuck on a project today a little longer then usual and didnt leave till 6:30. i am doing my before bed posts. and florida is a great place. i lived in NY, GA, SC, TX, FL. this place is the best, weather is great, i 45 mins from orlando/disney, 2 hours from miami, 30 mins from clearwater or sarasota, i could be on a cruise ship on 10 minutes from now on my way to mexico, and when i want to visit family in NY, its like 69 bucks each way to fly. and i dont pay state income tax. and my salary is up and the economy is down, so god bless this place.
so i present to you my new state motto.... "Florida. Why Not?"

I love Florida... well, I've never lived there, but I've been there many times and loved it every time... let's see, Panama City Beach - off da hook, Daytona - good ol' biker fun (even though I don't ride), Miami - OMG the women, bro haaaaaaaaa, Sarasota - could there be a more beautiful beach? sheet, I remember driving through the aligator alley - that was fun. Except I didn't realize that you drive there for like 3 hours with nothing but the friggin' aligators, pretty much and came pretty close to running out of gas anyway, I work nights too, bro - I work midnight to 8-8:30AM Oh, and where in SC? I lived in Spartanburg for a couple of years - if you know those parts. Not bad overall, but it did get kinda boring at times...
