Trying to find my way through this thing called life

I've delayed the inevitable long enough

Alright, I'll give this blog thing a go. All these thoughts come racing through my head so maybe I'll try and write them down sometimes.

After a long day at work, the gym, shopping with Katie for her hot date tomorrow, then finally home I was perusing blogs and munching on a slice of pizza and my eyes were suddenly caught on a blog that was about me. I'm constantly reading things, whether it's on my trusty laptop or the new Sedaris Novel, but they're always about someone else and I can drift off into this other place that the writer creates for me. When my dear friend writes something that's no longer than four or five lines long and yet powerful enough to make my heart race suddenly, it makes me think... I must start a blog. Oh, and I should probably sort out my crazy life at the same time.

I never write in my journal. Many people I've known have bought me journals, plead with me to write in them, but I never get past the first entry. Perhaps this blog thing will force me to think more often about what I'm doing day to day in this wild city of mine. It's become way too easy to be swept away in its' complexity. There are 174 Starbucks within a 5 mile radius of my Manhattan office, about a million clubs/bars/hotspots du jour, and there's always someone that's throwing a huge party that you can't miss. I'm faced with gorgeous people on the train at 7:30 am, at lunch hour shopping in Herald Square, at the gym after work, at dinner in Soho, in the East Village shopping at Kim's Video, in Chinatown grabbing a bubble tea, on the Upper East Side walking their dog, and pretty much anywhere else in this bustling metropolis. How do they all do it? Are they as strange as I am? Gosh I hope so.

Let's pray my blogs become less meandering. Someday I hope to be able to write clear, concise, yet mind blowing thoughts. We'll see.
