Hello from 5th Avenue!

I'm at my office right now of E54th and 5th. Lots to see in the area. Shopping, good eats, and such. I flew in last night w/ my friend Alice Lynn and staying in her building in Brooklyn for a week while I hunt for a place.

I've had so much on my mind just to get to this point I thought I could rest a bit, but now I have to kick it in gear. I've got some contacts to make and lots of emails to send while I search for an apartment. I think i'll sublet for a bit since I have no furniture or many personal belongings or if I"m lucky, I hope to find a cool roomate situation for a while. I don't have to live alone just yet. I preferr not to right now anyways.

I'm still looking to find someone to buy my car, and that is worrying me a bit. However, its a good car and I hope I can sell it w/in the month.

Well I should wrap this up so I'll send some more updates later as things happen.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Everyone.

I move in two days and all is calm and surreal at the moment.

Right now, I'm enjoying one of my favorite holiday traditions... the 24hr "A Christmas Story" marathon.

Soon its time to open presents and eat at various family venues then the last holiday tradition... the 12th annual Christmas movie at some theater with my friend Tom. I have no clue what we'll see, but hope its good.

one more week...



Its 6:15 am and I'm sitting here at my desk w/ a fresh cup of coffee. The night's been pretty quiet here at work, but lots of work is getting done. I'm tired and ready to go home and get some sleep. You see, my last week here at the Atlanta office, I'm working 3rd shift to train someone. From here, I go to New York and start work in the Manhattan office on the 28th. My boss told me he ordered a laptop, but its been 2 weeks and it's yet to arrive. I don't need it yet and not having it would make my load lighter to carry up there, but I will need it soon.

This has been a very good, a very long, and a very tiring weekend. Comming off of 4 hrs sleep from Saturday night, I didn't go to bed till 9am Monday morning. No, I wasn't out partying or anything. I was just burning my candle at both ends so I can get as much time in with many different people who are all over the map. Add work, and I've got my hands full.

I told someone the other day that it'll be nice to move to the busiest city in the US, because then my life will finally slow down some. That is, until, I make friends and over-commit myself to varoius places & people like I've always done in Atlanta.

For you readers out there... leave a comment so I know someones out there. I do this for myself mostly, but its nice to share your journey with someone.

OK finally, its starting to happen...



Everyone asks me "are you excited or nervous about moving?". Right now, no I'm not. Its not because I'm not happy about moving - because I am - but that I've got so much on my mind, I haven't had a chance to let myself be excited or nervous. Until last night...

As I was going to bed an thought came into my mind and I slowly started stressing out about it. "Holy Crap! I have to sell my car.... and fast!". Why? Its because I'm still making payments on a car and those payments have to stop soon or I'll go broke in NY.

Here's the caviat: I need this car till week before Christmas or I have no mode of transportation. However, I leave 2 days after Christmas and might not be in town for over a month and a half. This gives me a very narrow time margin to sell the car.

Today I started emailing friends and family. Also posted on Myspace and soon will put one on Craigslist. I'm hopeing to find a buyer quickly and who will work with me on my need to keep the car for 2 1/2 more weeks.

If you (or someone you know) is looking for a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition (fully loaded) for around $7800, then PLEASE let me know.
