Oｈ ! My God Story NO. ５０
.New York - the city of art
New York is the center of the world economy and politics,
and yet it has another face.
It's the center of art.
Many people come to New York from all over the world
to become a star and
successful.
You will know it everywhere.
You will see many waiters and waitresses when you go to a restaurant.
You should talk to them.
Then you will find out
that most of them want to
become a singer or an actor and an artist.
I used to talk to them.
I will talk to a man or woman who is serving my table.
A waiter whom I talked to at the restaurant in my neighborhood
wanted to become a
photographer.
A waitress at the restaurant behind my apartment
wanted to become an actress.
I met a waitress where I went to listen the live music.
She was one of the staff working for Cyndi Lauper.
This is how they make living.
But this is not the only reason.
They are waiting for a great chance.
What I mean by a chance is to meet a producer, a rich man or a celebrity.
Then they are hoping to make a debut or get a good job.
There are many celebrities and producers in New York.
So as many opportunities.
There is a famous hotel H right next to my apartment.
Many big stars and famous producers come to this hotel.
The variety of people come here every day.
There are five or six good looking boys in front of the hotel.
They are all working there with a dream to be discovered one day.
American dream is American decoration.
There is a swirl of passion for success in New York.
That heat produces the energy to be the center of the world.
But you will have to pay attention to a good story.
You shouldn't easily go out with a big man.
Because there are many gay in New York.
Oｈ ! My God.
Attention please !
You never make a debut in another world.
