Urban NOasis.

Ahhh - come on.
I don't know if any of you ever watch HGTV, but each year they do a "dream home" giveaway. Essentially, it's an amazing (furnished) home, a car and a $500,000 cash prize ... and it's open to anybody to enter.
I've been entering in these giveaways for a few years now ... me and my dad always "oooh" and "ahhh" over each new "dream home." In the past, there's been a beach house in the Florida Keys, a farm house in Napa Valley and an adobe in New Mexico ... to name a few.
This year, the "dream home" was a stellar giveaway - a one-million dollar apartment in The W Hotel & Residences in the financial district of New York City. Holly effing shit.
What an amazing prize!
On top of a furnished one bed/one bath NYC apartment, the winner received $500K and a 2011 Acura ZSX (it's ugly, but it's an Acura - I'd take it!).
There were many ways to enter - internet, snail mail and phone registry.
According to the rules, you could only enter twice a day.

Folks ... I entered twice a day, everyday for over two months!!!!

What would I do had I won? I don't fucking know! But I'd be in New York, New York w/ $500K. I'm sure I could easily find something to do!
I just watched the giveaway on HGTV. Ugh, but sadly I wasn't awarded the prize... some fatty engineer student in (nasty) Florida won. And the dope entered once. Just once.

Ugggh. Oh well, you best believe I'ma be entering in every giveaway from here on out.
