NYC4DUMMIES

Alrighty,
So I decided I would start blogging to keep everyone up to date on whatever my life gets consumed with. Let's hope the majority of these blogs are up-beat and filled with fun escapades in the crazzzyy city of New York. We'll see. hahahahah.

NYC has been pretty great so far *knocks on wood*. When I first got into the city, I was really underwhelmed and kind of just not impressed at all. It just felt like Boston, or even Portland on steroids. Well I was wrong. After we decided to take a cab into Brooklyn, I saw some of those classic NYC monuments, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State building, yah kno'.

It's funny, because at that moment-I immediately felt like I should be right there. After kind of struggling with the whole "what am I doing here?" mind set in Maine, it was so nice to feel like I belonged somewhere. NYC is my home now, and I am so happy to be immersed in the city. With the whole feeling at home deal, I feel really inspired. If it wasn't for my cold, I would be already starting my vocal lessons and trying to take on as much as I can. I'm just so ready to be working towards my goal.

Most people kind of feel intimidated by the city, and that their voice will just blend in with the rest. Call me arrogant or whatever, but I just feel like I can be different *knocks on wood*. I don't know if it's because I know I want to get into music and I have been kind of planning this for such a long time, that I fee like I can do anything. Either way, I know I can. Essentially we can do anything, as long as we have a good work ethic, put in the work (loads of it), and persist. I'm a firm believer in this. In "Illusions" it says:

" You are never given a wish, without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however"

&&&&

"The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't"

Why limit myself? Why say I can't do something. I can do it, it's just a matter if I want to deal with the consequences, or deal with the work. This is where I am so thankful to be a Virgo. Good work ethic.

So here are some fun little thoughs:
* There are probably about 5k Duane Read's in NYC. It should be named Duane Read city.
* Although I have been in fashion savvy places, I still haven't seen someone with an overwhelmingly incredible outfit. It makes me kind of sad.
* Even the biggest cities, have the smallest worlds. Josh and I ran into Josh's ex boyfriend today. It was really weird. Not because it was Josh's ex, but because it was seeing someone you know of, in such a big city. Like I said, even the biggest cities, hold the smallest worlds.
* Our apartment is really really nice. The rooftop is my favorite part, you can see all of Manhattan lit up at night. Ah, it gives me the goosebumps still.
* Even though we have a nice place, our neighborhood is kind of ghetto, for lack of better world. I am glad though, I like the culture of Myrtle Ave. I'm so used to seeing trucks and trailers in Maine...it's nice to see other cultures ^_^.
* I still see things everyday that I wish Niomi or Kristina were here for us to look at eachother and giggle. I miss you guys :).
* Anddddd Tasti D Light is pretty much a god send right now. Frozen whipped air or whatever, it's yummy and good for you!

Well I think I will tie up my blog here. Thanks for anyone who cares enough to read this ^_^.
