It wasn't until I moved to the city that I realized: Mankind is so technologically advanced that we've paint the drat sky black.

When the gypsy girl rings the bell at 8:45pm is the best time to go to the sketchy Circle K. Don't ask me how she knows or why she shares her secret with me.

city life can be described as the most dangerous type of life, all organisms that enter leave mutated, stronger, and sometimes more handsome. take the common rat. in the wild, they are dirty, ugly and quite homely looking. but once they enter the city, their entire biology changes. they become more aggressive, they hunt in gangs and they begin to slick their hair back. researchers are unsure what causes these changes, some state that it's the high calorie diet of fast food, some state the smog in the air, and other angrily stating it's that god drat facebook that's changing the wildlife these days.

I love the city life. Move from gigantic concrete rectangle to gigantic concrete rectangle. City action. City consumpion. Never touch the ground in a city.

Sun? What sun. I only know an endless vertical progression. You gain credit. Move to next story. Each better than the last. Ascend

Sun at highest level? Endless light...

In the center of a city, there's a man, in a tower (at a high place, though not at the top as far as I know). He sends a radio wave to all other in the city. These waves tell citymen what to do. It's orderly.

I stayed in Manhattan for 6 weeks last year and I enjoyed my stay but I don't think I could live there. blew my mind how dirty you end up at the end of the day after bumping shoulders with a jillion people and their garbage

coming home to a population less than 18,000 was honestly pretty disorienting

There are all sorts of groups and meetings you can go to in cities. If you're lucky you might even meet a secret society

the city is a place where different people from different other places and have different ideas about all secretly hate themselves and others for some reason, to which none can explain.

Has your city's informal and semi-underground aluminum collecting industry been appropriated by Chinese people?

no, but the flagship Apple store here always has a line of 500 Chinese people and their families at every product launch, who buy the entire stock and sell them on Ebay. I think its very enterprising and cool and they probably get a lot of good family time hanging out there.

like a real cityperson, I don't know the people that collect my aluminum cans any more than I know my neighbors. I just push them out into the road and they vanish

thats funny because I buy them on ebay, glue some poo poo on them, and resell them on etsy

the starless nights really sucks, i love looking at stars. i'm used to a sky with like 10 stars so seeing the night sky in Norway was incredible.

one thing i love about the city is when it is around 2 in the morning on a Tuesday, the deserted streets and unusual quietness is liberating.

Walking around super early in the morning is nice, it's fresh and empty and generally it's all cleaned by night crews by then

in the city where i live, a 12-pack of store-brand diet soda costs $2.79 (two dollars and seventy-nine cents). when the store-brand diet soda is on sale, a 12-pack costs only 2 dollars! it is very yummy and i drink lots of it. i like big cities, but i also like other kinds of places too.

haha yeah that's right. helicopters don't usually have blinking lights, and when far away they move very slow so i often think i'm looking at a star only to realize it's moving a bit too much.

nightsky of the city: 10 stars and 3 helicopters

but it's still possible to see satellites! seeing one is just loving awesome.
