A Time For Change!

When I found out last year that I wouldn’t have a job, I started saving my change and thought I’d cash it in on my first week of being unemployed. It’s kind of a personal little bonus. I put the change in a Tupperware container that’s 12 inches wide and 3 and a half inches tall. It weighs 29.5 pounds. Check it out below.
I’m going to take it to the bank and cash it in. I’m guessing there’s $188.97 in there. We’ll see how close that guess is soon! It’s off to the bank!

Jesus, this thing is heavy and cumbersome to lug around. The bank is only four blocks away, but I had to stop here for a rest.

I had to make another stop here. Maybe I should just lug the coins all over town and make posts of that. Naaah.

Here we are at the TD Bank. I think that's an unfortunate name for a bank. It makes me think of a VD bank. You know, kind of like a sperm bank, but with VD instead. But that's just me.

And here's where you cash in the coins, the Penny Arcade. Isn't Penny Arcade the name of a porn star?

It's counting away, I can't wait to see how much is there.

Holy shitballs! $380.57! That's close to 200 more bucks than I thought! I know just where to go...

To my friendly neighborhood news guy for Lotto tickets and Chuckles! I got ten bucks on the Mega-Millions and ten on the Powerball. If I win, I'll really be taking some nice trips, and you're all invited!

The Chuckles were delicious!

Good morning! One complaint I had at both 365 Bars and MAD was that I didn’t venture out of Manhattan that much. Well, the reason for that was I was going out after my job at night and didn’t really have the time. Now that this blog is my job and I’m going out during the day, I can get out of Manhattan more. Today I’m going to Brooklyn. I decided Friday’s would be a recurring theme day and I’m calling it: Casual Free Food Friday. Basically, every Friday I’m going to go to a bar that has free food available, hey I’m out of work, I have to start cutting corners somewhere! And today the bar is located in Brooklyn, hopefully I won’t get lost! But before I go, I’m going to have a moment of change. The first post will be up around noonish and you can see what’s going on then.

But first...some random headlines:

Till Tomorrow...

Thanks for tuning in and tripping out with me! See you, tomorrow!

To the lights and towns below,
Faster than the speed of sound,
Faster than we thought we'd go,
beneath the sound of hope.
