I apologize for the week delay in postings, but this move has taken over my life. Not the physical move, but the farewells. I feel so compressed, so rushed right now. There are so many people that I want to spend time with and give an adequate goodbye, but I know there will be some that just won't happen. I hope people can understand, if this happens to them, that they will be missed. But I also hope everyone understands that my full attention is impossible right now.
For the next week, I will be a scatterbrained mess. I will forget plans. I will be spread too thin. These reasons are why coming to my bartending tonight is so important. I am guaranteed to be there from 6 to Midnight. Everyone there is assured to have my full attention. So PLEASE come by and have fun.

As I enter my final week, I find myself wondering exactly what I will think of when I look back at my time here in New York. Will it be the horrible living locales (Bensonhurst and Harlem for those who haven't heard me complain incessently about the commutes)? Will it be the drunken adventures with G, Lexx, KG, CRD, M? Will it be the many retail jobs I had with the long hours/low pay/menial tasks? Will it be the many relationships that fizzled out before they even had a chance to begin? Or am I still focusing on the negative here...
I hope that when I find myself thinking about NYC, I focus on running in Central Park. Lazy Sundays, wandering the city, coffee in hand. Sitting in Union Square reading. Finding new restaurants and bars. But most of all, meeting new people every time I go out. NYC is full of one night friends: guys and girls you meet at a bar and spend an hour or two talking about nothing in particular, then never see again. If you've never experienced this, move here and you'll see. Nine times out of ten, its nothing, but that one person can make you realize that life/humanity isn't all bad. And that's a good feeling.

If anyone has any pictures or posts you'd like me to put up, send them my way. I'd be glad to put them up for you :)
