I was buying a guitar today off of someone on craigslist *really nice guy; like yoda; but not green*; and I had to pass 42nd to get to him. I know Times Square is a magical, wonderous, bastion of todays civilization for a lot of people. There's lights, and Marvel Superhero's walk around, and Mickey Mouse; everything is super modern and current; and it just feels so fake to me. Everything there revolves around your money and how you must spend it there. I know I'm a hypocrite; yes I've spent money there; I've ate there; took people there that wanted to see it; was even passing through there on my way to buy something. But for the first time, today, I just felt vile being around all that consumerism, being a part of the "machine". Taking selfies and buying worthless shit (With the exception of the shows and musicals, because I still do enjoy them) in a giant; albeit impressive; severely overpriced, outside mall.....maybe i'm just bitching because I love Manhattan; and the Manhattan I used to know is dead. My new guitar though, worth every penny. lol.
