I mean, I seriously don’t know what most of the stuff on my hard drive is. I just checked again and I actually have less space than I realized: 121 + 71 gb free. Time to see what all this crap is.
I only have 33GB of music on my hard drive. That’s really weird. I need to fix that, because I have way more music than that, and I just don’t listen to a lot of it because I don’t have it at fingertip access. What the hell is taking up all this space? This is exactly why I’ve been racking my brain trying to convince myself I shouldn’t spend more for a higher capacity ipad and failing at it. :lol:
I’m going through my hard drive now…I have a whole lot of stuff on here that is testament to my ADD. On my E drive, there’s a folder called “Material” with nothing in it. The hell? Also, a folder called “Sound” with 8 wav files in it. A folder called “Video” with nothing in it, and a folder called “stuff” with 61 gigs of stuff. And a folder called “untitled folder” with irc logs from like 2001. :lol: this shit here…
Why? To make $1,500 a month post taxes you’d have to make about over $27K a year. Who the hell can’t make that much? I had an internship that paid more than that.
I was born and raised in NJ, lived in NY for five years, moved to San Francisco for a few months, and now back in NJ looking for a new apartment in NY. Why does it matter?
I have never paid less than $700 a month for rent with other people, and $700 is the least I’ve ever paid. I usually pay closer to four-figures for rent. In NY, the poverty line is at $36,000 a year. That, to me, is understandable because you can live deep in a borough for that much. Still, if you can’t earn $1,500 a month you need to find a new job because holy shit I can’t even imagine making that little and I’m unemployed right now.
Yeah, that’s what I thought. $36k is a pretty comfortable salary in like 80% of America for a single person, and it’s the poverty line in NY. Your perspective is pretty fucked up.
I wish there were some post-Sandy prices here in Jersey. Kooper and I are looking into getting a place together.
Posted up at Starbucks for coffee and to charge our shit. I feel like a dick with 2 iPads and an iPhone I front of me. Can’t wait to trade my iPhone for a Galaxy Nexus. Tired of Apple. Can’t wait to get back to rooting my phones.

:lol: You really don’t get it. You’ve lived in like 2 of the 3 most expensive areas in the country to live. Of course it hasn’t mattered when moving from Money Pit A to Money Pit B.
This is basically what this conversation is:
You: you can’t get a car for under $100k.
Me: um, why would you think that?
You: that’s the cheapest I can even imagine a car being.
Me: What kind of cars have you driven?
You: a Lamborghini, and a Bentley, but one time I got a Mercedes SLR because I wanted something cheap. I’m pretty sure they don’t make cars cheaper than that. Why does it matter what I drive?
More perspective. I stayed with Spooky for 2 weeks in his old place back in '07. He was paying somewhere between $150-300 more for his basement studio apartment in Bay Ridge BK than the rent on my three-bedroom house. (also Spooky is the best host ever, dude is way too nice.)
I mentioned earlier in one of these threads about how i trolled @Viscant by finding houses that were equal to or less than the cost of the mortgage on his condo. I found a 4000 square foot house on the outskirts of Atlanta with its own golf course for $50k less.
My jobs were never luxurious. They all involved basic writing skills. In fact, my last job had promoted a guy who only graduated high school and gave him a $15K raise in one hit. If he can do it I think anyone with a brain can make it in those cities. It’s just the matter of wanting to.
