A New Chapter

At the persistant request of my dearest friend, Cila, I have decided to start a new chapter of my life...literally...and begin sharing some of my thoughts, dreams, visions and revelations with this newfound world of 'blogging.' Not that I really understand the concept behind an 'online diary' but hey, I'm up for something new.

Given the fact this is my first entry, I do feel a sense of responsibilty to write words that are somewhat insightful or awe-inspiring...but in all reality, no one knows I have this, well, besides Cila, and she knows my man-voice, so why should I try to impress...

I'm sitting in my apartment right now, lounging on my purple couch with my beautiful Bella (Bichon Frise puppy) cuddled at my side, listening to the melo-dramatic tunes of Bethany Dillon and waiting for Lydia, my best friend from high school, to get done with homework so we can finish getting ready for our fall break getaway trip to NYC. We need a break. Bad. Her husband just left for his second tour of duty in Iraq and I was supposed to be getting married this month....we need a break.

I love New York. Something about the way I can walk into the streets and lose myself in the vastness of this hub of communication and life. I have a dominant personality and often find myself in front of life, even when I'm trying to avoid it, so when I go to a place like NYC, I enjoy being one in thousands, walking the streets, peering in the windows of Macy's, sitting on a bench in Bryant Park and watching people pass, trying to figure out their stories and why they are doing whatever they are doing at that particular moment. Cila and I have decided that we are moving to NYC in May and going to just work and have fun...and audition for STD and Viagra commercials. Hahaha. I mean, someone has to do it...why us? That's just a SOZO waiting to happen!

I think that's all I want to say tonight. Let's see if I can figure out how to post some of pictures.....
