The Squid and The Whale, "if you know what I'm talking about".

Because its better to be a whale than a squid. Whales inspire major novels.

This time last year I was in New York. This time this year I'm in my basement wishing I was in New York. This time next year, perhaps I'll be in New York wishing I was back in New York, "if you know what I'm talking about".

Because New York isn't really New York unless you're not there.

Perhaps no-where, or -body, really is unless one is without.
