Subscribe to this blog's feedHowdy folks, it's been awhile. Well, not really, just a month. It's not like anyone has missed my quirky little blog entries anyway. One person did and I will be letting him know about this one later.
I am blogging to you all from the city that never sleeps. And I thought folks was bullshitting when they said that.They really weren't. I have been in New York for just about a month. I came to visit my boyfriend. Yes, people, Michelle finally got herself a man. Go tell it on the mountains!!!!
I found my Boricua Prince right on Poz Personals. I should say he found me because I had all but given up to be honest. A shameless plug for the personals I know but it's about time that something went right for me. We had been talking for a few months before I decided to take a chance and come to New York. And I have not regretted it since.
Now New York is a total 360 compared to Erie. I noticed that as soon as I stepped off the train at Penn Station. People----everywhere as far as the eye can see. People of every color, I almost thought for a second that I was in a human version of a Crayola Crayon box. But I love the diversity of everything here.
My next experience was riding the subway. I was dreading it because I had heard the stories about rush hour on the subway. Unfortunately, I encountered it and never want to again. The plus side is sometimes you get entertainment while riding the train. Since being here I have been seranaded (sp?) by a Hispanic man, felt like I was in Jamaica while listen to three men play the congas, and listened to a woman sing "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. Damn, I almost felt like I was on American Idol. Wouldn't you know I didn't have my camera with me.
Not to mention that there is so much more to be gained here in New York. I can see myself doing so much better here. And there is so many places that will help put me on the right track. I have decided to move to New York. I will be a New York resident by the end of summer. Since being here, I have been getting my things in order for the move.
I guess what they say is true, it's about location, location, location.
Michelle, I decided to get back into the dating scene after about 20 years and met my first guy on Poz Pers about 2 week ago,I do a "meet & greet" FIRST! so we're walking on the Hudson River Park on a weekend, sunny day and he began the conversation asking me questions,as the walk progressed, I noticed I was doing all the talking and he was DOING ALL THE CRUISING of all the guys with shirts off come on now! even if you're not into ME , that's just plain BAD MANNERS!! that was ALL within 45 minutes. Have some manners man, go cruising on YOUR time NOT mine!
Thanks for sharing your story.I'm still going to try and report back WHEN I do meet someone.HAPPY FOR YOU!!
Cheers,
Tony(nyc)

It took me about two years to find my Prince. But trust me, I ran into quite a few toads.You are better than me though, I would've left dude's ass right there in the park. Don't give up on love just yet. It happened to me when I least expected it.
Michelle
I am just stunned. Wow! What a big change in your life. I hope you keep us informed as to how things are going. Tell us more about the man?????
Is it morally wrong to date someone who is not positive?
