This is a blog for the blue. The down, the slow, the depressed, the I am sitting in my bed wondering why I cant get out of it when I live in this fabulous amazing city that everyone keeps telling me I should be enjoying a whole lot more.
This is for the person who sometimes thinks NYC is the blame for this bed migration, for the person who sometimes, says "but everyone wears black and nobody smiles and there is no sense of community here" or "whats with all the buildings blocking out the sun" or "ITS so LOUD, I cant hear myself think" or "The subway....is a bummer at rush hour".skdjf
Well here at Things To Do When You are Blue in NYC, we provide the outlets, places, arts, nature and activities that are guaranteed to turn your blues into a celebration, that are guaranteed to life your spirits, that will make you turn your head up to the sun and say "thank you god I am here in nyc, it is so freakin RAD here and I love you" We guarantee that you will speak these exact words as you stand with your arms stretched in the middle of times square, and not because your medication hasnt kicked in. this is a money back guarantee. Simply write us and ask for your money back. Whatever funds we took from you to read this blog will be sent back in an envelope with hearts.
Now, all of these things we are going to reccomend, have been tested. We frequently get blue, and feel like life is hopeless, lets admit, depression is rampant in 6 million americans and 5 million live in nyc...I dont know if those are the correct numbers, but really just look around.....few REALLY smile here unless you poke them and ask them if they are famous. So people, we gotta represent here...This city cannot just be enjoyed by eager tourists.. WE are the ones we have been waiting for. YES we CAN enjoy this city to the maximum. AND on a budget. No need to get depressed about money, here at things to do when you are blue in nyc, we create oppurtunities for you to open up the door to pleasure, beauty, wonder and fun, this is the ONLY thing we are interested in here. Money is the last thing we want you thinking about unless it is about putting some change in a cup or making some of it quick and easy. The dark side only has a place in our blog if it MAKES US LAUGH or reveals how freakin ironic and therefore brilliant NYC is. Anything JUST dark with no (words to suggest revealing of the light or highlighting humor etc) will be thrown back into the cosmos for an edit.
So, here is what we do....we get blue first. We think sad thoughts and ruminate about the problems of the world and generally look at everything half empty and about to die and wear dark grety glasses, even children look sad because one day, they will have to pay taxes and realize santa claus is an invention of strange adults....(more on depression)
Then we call our best friends and complain. Mostly from under the covers with the cell phone burning our brains. Then, they, because they are really our friends and are invested in us feeling good enough to go out and have fun with them, will suggest things to do, that sound way too cheerful and touristy and "happy happy" or way too cultural. Isnt seinfelt and late nite with Conan culture enough we will argue.
NO they will say... you live iN NYC!! Its the law here you have to go out and enjoy it. And then they will threaten to stop being your friend if you dont go put on some lipstick and find some cute shoes and actually open the door to the outside world. And you will, because, its all so depressing, really who cares, it wont work anyway. (more on this)
Then the operation has begun.......the Time Out is openeed, the pages are folded, teh voice is scowered and the friends who met a guy at the yoga room who does interior design and who had weaird hat on at the water stand said "THIS _movie/play/art show/ restraunt/park/dog run/book store/ etc was the BOMB....and you will GO....and dare it to make you feel better. And if it does, halleluiah, you live in the best city on earth! With the best people on earth and so therefore, you must share it share it share it!!!! For all the bluesters out there, there are shades of purple, orange and yellow, even white and gold and red and teal and off-burgundy that goes nicely with the deep brown...
