Autumn in New York

Hi everyone. Wow. It's been exactly 5 months since my last entry. Who'd have thunk. Well i'll be back periodically when inspiration hits me to write - like today. After spending 5 minutes looking over some of my past entries, a bit of nostalgia hit as i kinda miss putting my thoughts to keystrokes once in a while. I guess it's like free therapy?

The biggest change these past 5 months is that I'm living in Manhattan now in my own studio apartment. This is the first time i've lived on my own (i've always had roommates) and it's exhilerating. Although the advantages are most welcome (i.e. peace and quiet, privacy, not worrying about common areas, etc.), i'm coming to find that there are a few disadvantages (i.e. peace and quiet, small space, and cramped quarters) as well. Overall though, i don't think i'd ever go back.

Another development is that i've taken up poppin' & lockin' classes. My friend Dan and i got into this way back in college, but a need to find a creative distraction from school has rekindled my soul for boogying down. As a result, I have planted my roots firmly into a weekly class taught by popmaster Fabel of the legendary RockSteady Crew in nyc. This is by far the most fun i've had "learning" anything! Why can't school be like this? Sheeeit.


Oh! And one more thing...

I fought for as long as i could, but i caved in and joined the friendster wave. I was anti-friendster for the past 5 months, rejecting invites left and right, as it seemed to be such a shallow attempt to hook-up with people and a thinly veiled popularity contest to see who can get the most "friends". I've come to learn that more than half of these people on everyone's lists aren't even considered anything more than acquaintances in real life. Just goes to show that most people don't want to get left behind in whatevers hip or cool for the moment. Why'd i join, you ask? Shit. For the women, baby. For the women. I'm such a slut.

Halloween is tomorrow. I haven't dressed up in almost 15 years, but that might all change this year. Eh... who am i kidding. I'm too lazy to do anything beyond the bare minimum. haha. Have fun and don't take any apples from strangers.

ps. congratulations, d. I wish you all the best!
