I had some Stone IPA in Brooklyn last week when I PM'd you. I walked so far that day it was ridiculous. From Penn Station down to new Trade Center then over the Brooklyn bridge and up to Park Slope. Has 5 of those IPA's there which were apparently 9.4% alcohol, then took the subway over to meet my friend in whatever area I told you I was in. Had a few beers with him and then kinda blacked out a bit and wandered around and come to when I saw the Williamsburg bridge, which I walked over into Brooklyn again. Had no idea where in Brooklyn I was, but it was really jewish so I wasn't worried. I grabbed a 40oz at one of the bodegas I eventually ran into when I got to a more integrated area, then finally got in touch with my friend who found me somewhere in Park Slope.
I had a few beers with her, then walked to Atlantic Terminal and hopped on the next train back to LI, passed out for my transfer at Jamaica so ended up in Rockaway. Walked down to the McDonalds sometime around midnight, got some food, walked through the projects on my way to a taxi company, got offered dope but got ripped off by a gay crackhead, chased him through the projects with my belt wrapped around my fist, got called officer by everyone there when I asked which way the gay crackhead went, then finally took a cab back to my parents house (which I had yet to return to since being homeless) and slept under my bed, not before finding out the cabbie deals whatever I want, then got about an hour of sleep and snuck back out before they noticed. Went back to the shelter, got kicked out for staying out all night, then said fuck it and took the train home.
It sucks being back at home, but it was still too cold for me to be out on the streets so I didn't have much of a choice. Plus I was so worn out from the night before that I just needed to pass out in my own bed for once. Anyway, I was just upstate to get a car needed for the business I'm starting up with someone, and we've got a few estimates this weekend so hopefully it works out well.
So once I get a few jobs and make some cash I'm coming out there for some microbrews. I stick to IPA's and stouts when I fuck with them.
Edit: To add to my story, I had seen the weather forecast and it was the only warm day of the week so I said fuck it, I'm going all out in the city, and likely won't return to the shelter since I was so sick of it and ready to go home, so figured I would have a wild night out before having to be relatively clean when returning home. I was bugging out my friend in BK though because I was getting texts from my friend at the shelter telling me to call them to let them know I wasn't coming back on time so they wouldn't kick me out, but I was saying fuck it, and that I would rather be a street kid in the city for the summer, so she was all worried about my. I had planned on returning home though, just didn't tell her I guess so she was worried.
