WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED?
So, what happened?
I have no Idea. Not the slightest idea I tell you.
But I don't like it
Something is changed and I don't like the change.
I am deliberately and happily isolating myself from everyone.
Who is every one?
I don't know
Was everyone there for you before?
No, not at all
So?
But I was there for everyone
And now I am not
Perhaps its good for you
Its a bit scary
Wasn't it scary before?
But before I was available for everyone and now I am not and thats scary
Strange
Yes, strange, isn't it?
You should be thrilled that you are not available for everyone
But I am not avialable for any one because there is hardly any one around
So pathetic your ife had been...I had no Idea
Every one in the whole wide world was more important to me than myself
No one told me to make them important but I did.
Every one was always more important to me than me...me...
So sad, so very sad...
Indeed....

RETIRED NON ARTIST
RETIRED NON ARTIST
A retired non artist who moved to NYC from Timbuktu recently
seeks advice how to enjoy and what to enjoy in NYC, thhe center of culture.
He wants to eat up the culture, absorbs it every moment of his stay in the city
He is a stranger
But he loves the arts
All kinds of arts
No, he s not an artist
He won't enjoy the city if he was an artist
He would be worried about finding a job
How to pay his bills
How to find friends
Where to live
How to navigate the streets
How to navigate the traffic
How to make important contacts to get ahead
No he is not an artist
And he is very happy about it
He just wants to enjoy what the city offers.
His psychiatrist offered him an advice
(And why would he have a psychiatrist when he is not an artist?)
Its not his psychiatrist, he knows some one from Timbuktu who has lived here a long time
and is in the business of giving advice....
ADVICE:
Get up early
Have breakfast
Pack your lunch, (Cook the night before)
Packing lunch is a must
The city is very very expensive
Especially the fancy restaurants
But he does't have to go to fancy restaurants
Nevertheess, the cuture in the city is also very very expensive
So with the expensive culture such as museum fee etc and then the cafe's in the
museums, forget it. $7 almond latte...forget it...
Thats not for some one from Timbuktu...
Even the MET is now not free except for the New Yorkers
And the poor fellow is not a New Yorker
He will never be...
Once from Timbuktu, always from Timbuktu...
But lets get back to the advice of a Timbuktu native who now lives
in NY and give advice...
That Timbuktu person has come very far, very very far....
ADVICE:
Go to the museums; (Very expensive)
Go to the theater: (Very expensive)
Go for a drink: (Very expensive)
Go to a gallery: Look for a free one with reception
And try to eat all the food in case there is food there
But drink all the wine: Wine is also expensive at the bar as well as in the restarants
Go eat dinner after the gallery: very expensive
Go to thhe park: very cold right now
The one from Timbuktu doesn't have the DNA for snow
Read a book: Where to sit and read?
In the park: Too cold right now
Go for Latte iin a cafe: Too expensive
Walk: good idea :Freezing outside
Go to the whole food store and just sit upstairs and read: Another good Idea
But should he just read books all day?
No, also walk is included in the advice
Only walk , too cold, and sit upstairs at whole food is free
Everything else is very expensive
How many books the man from Timbuktu can read?
As many as he wants
Reading books is also cultural
And he came here for culture
People from Timbukty like to read books
Who told you?
I assumed
Why would they come to NY otherwise?
But in NY hardly any one reads books
But he is not from NY, he is from Timbuktu
But it seems like he can only read a book and sit in a warm place which is for free
Or go for a walk
But its snowing outside
Oh! well its winter
He should have come here in summer
Then he could go to central park and see free Shakeseare
True.
But he would have to stand in line all day
He can sit down in line and read
Read his book
Maybe he is tired of reading
No, people from Timbuktu don't get tired of reading
Only New Yorkers get tired
Get tired of reading?
No, New Yorkers don't read
They just get tired
Tired of what?
They are a bit angry
Why?
Don't know
They can afford everything unlike the guy from Timbuktu
and they are still angry...
They are
Why?
I don't know
Can they go to the theater?
Yes, if course, they have money
Can they go to the museums and pay an entrance fee?
Sure, they have miney
Can they go out to the pricey resturants?
Sure, they can. They have money
Can they go to concerts?
Sure, they can. They have money
Can they go to the Opera?
Sure, they can. They have money
And the fellow from Timbuktu?
What do you think?
Why did he come here then?
For culture, darling, for culture...
Shoud he go back?
Maybe...and come back in the summer time, at least he woulld be able to see
Shakespeare in the park
Maybe...
I think he should go back
Is that your advice?
Yes, that's my advice
The guy from Timbuktu should go back
And not come back in the summer?
No, I think my advice is that One Shakespeare play is not worth the amount of money
he would have to pay going back and forth from NY to Timbuktu and from Timbuktu to NY
Poor fellow from Timbuktu...
He was really seeking culture in NYC
But its expensive. The culture in NYC is very expansive
And the poor fellow is only from Timbuktu....
But he seeks culture
But the culture doesn't seek him
Culture seeks rich New Yorkers
Its sad, isn't it?
Yes, its sad. Very sad
So...
So what?
What should the guy from Timbuktu do?
What do you think?
You are the adviser
He should go back
And his desire for culture?
That's not going to be fullfilled in this city
But its the most cultural city in the world
Not for the people from Timbuktu
But what about you?
You are from Timbuktu...
Are you cultural?
No, I just give advice to the people from Timbuktu and try to send them back...home.
Its good for them to go back home
People need to belong
And people from Timbuktu can only belongs to Timbuktu
New York Culture won't allow them to belong to its culture.
And they will be so lonely here like me...yes, just like me.
