NYC Final Edition

November 22nd, 2009 Rex Dixon Comments

Santa-Monica-Sunset While I can’t really go into deep details here, the whole NYC experience was a costly yet interesting one. While the sun sets on the bright lights of life in the Big Apple, the twists and turns somehow end up working out. Note: ~~The track that is auto-playing is “Little Wonders by Rob Thomas”; video at the end of the post.~~ I feel the lyrics sum things up rather well at this time.
NYPD-rolls
Sure, I will miss the location of living across the street and around the corner from the places where NYPD rolls on a call, as well as the views, I won’t miss other aspects of living in NYC.
empire-state-building
If nothing else, I can always say that at one time, for 6 weeks, I lived right next door to the Empire State Building. I walked the streets at night exploring the neighborhood.
Around 28th or 29th st / Madison Ave.
While for some people that love the whole NYC experience, such as my buddy in Chicago who loves brick and subways, I’m more of surfer dude and always have been.
Santa-Monica-morning
Technically Speaking, while I wish that the whole situation in NYC would have been fully resolved and I could talk more about it openly, I just wanted to update everyone – as well as say – Happy Thanksgiving week! If you want more details, just ask me directly and I can provide them privately. I hope you know what you are thankful for. I sure have a lot to be thankful for this past year.

One last thing I want to share with those that have given me the crazy eye about my definition of a nice lawn – not so crazy am I?

Not Giving Out a FREE T-Shirt #trashyaustin

July 19th, 2009 Rex Dixon Comments

The last contest on here seemed to generate not many hashtag comments as well as not many participants, this one is just a simple question I have.

It seems like there are two sides of the fence to Austin, TX. One side loves the place, and the other side say it’s the most boring place on the planet. I have also read a tip that it’s not very good to visit in July/August.

My bud who is also known as Church Tongue said the few people from Chicago that has traveled to Austin, TX have told him that the place is not worth the time and is boring. The contention is that while it’s suppose to be some sort of mecca like music capital, it is also been said to only occur on one street down there (6th street from what I hear).

The question here is,”How do you feel about Austin, TX or rather do you feel Austin, TX is cool place to live/visit or does the place suck?” You can reply via twitter and the hashtag of #trashyaustin. It’s more fun if you use twitter to respond to this, and responses can simply be like this “cool, love the music, best city in the world #trashyaustin” – “sucks, I got robbed in Austin, safe in Chicago! #trashyaustin” – you know something short and sweet < 140 characters for twitter.

This time, I’ll even take the comments that are associated with a blog post right below. That’s fine – but rather would see this stream be taken to the hashtag of #trashyaustin on twitter.

Now of course since twitter is like porn sometimes with the < 140 character limit, if you leave a comment here on this post – feel free to be very detailed on why or why not Austin, TX.

Technically Speaking, while I am not giving away FREE T-Shirt this time, I would like to see some opinions!
