I'll be moving to the city. likely statin island which is a short
commute to 
downtown city area. I'll be attending John Jay college of criminal
justice 
after my residency is claimed here. I've already been in touch with a
few 
people up here that i met off the New York students list. :)

Find that guy that will pick up every piece of your shattered heart &
put it 
back together; Replacing it with a piece of his.
