About Sam Gomez

This is my lil' workshop on the web. I created it to let my friends and family know what's going on with me. It quickly became a place for me to rant about my feelings and publicly humiliate myself - not that I needed yet another medium. Generally, I just share whatever is on my mind (stories, photos, etc.) Read the full about me.

Train Etiquette

Now that I’ve ridden the train for a few weeks, I’ve picked up on some of the train etiquette. For example, there’s a specific order in which you should fill up seats. Also, on peak trains, talking is strongly frowned upon. Phone conversations are absolutely NOT permissible. All bets are off when it comes to [...]

“Hillary Is Part of the Lesbian Conspiracy to Control Man”

There’s a guy at the subway stop near my office. He’s been there for years. I call him the Subway Socrates. He looks pretty normal, but he strolls around the platform pontificating about either 1.) current events or 2.) lesbians. When I passed him on Friday, he said, “Hillary is part of the lesbian conspiracy [...]

Where’s the PBR? I can’t believe they don’t [...]

After dating for somewhere between 5 and 6 years, I have finally asked Heidi to marry me. I did it a week ago Sunday at Washington Square Park. While developing this master plan, I decided that I wanted to do it somewhere that was very New York. My original plan was to take the Roosevelt [...]

The new Apple Store on 5th Ave

I went to the grand opening of the new Apple Store on 5th Ave last night. We got there around 10 PM and the line was still around wrapped around the block (literally.) The glass cube that’s above ground is pretty impressive. The store may be impressive too, but I am not really sure. It [...]

Why I Love NY

Cause even after a night on the town, the crew can randomly stop by one of the local music spots, only to find Norah Jones’s Country band playing a couple of unannounced sets.

Shopping

Guys, I don’t think most of you are ready for this. Yesterday, Heidi and I went shopping. At the jewelry store.

Don’t worry. Just browsing at the moment.

One lady had the nerve to even start talking upgrades down the road. [Gulp.]

The dork I am and in true Sam fashion, I then had to [...]
