I feel as though I have to share a secret, that my projected image of life in the city if only one part my experience in the U.S of A. The other part of my experience is my rockland life. For those not hip to the rock, well it's a suburb of NYC, north of the city. On a good day it takes about half an hour to drive to the city. And the bus, well that takes a little longer. There is a lot to see in Rockland and it is a nice repose from the hectic city. Just today I was riding the bus from Nyack to Orangeburg. The bus passed the Rockland psych center as part of its route and I was admiring the old buildings. But there was something very suburban and not as cosmo as I'm trying to sound.

So on a totally different tip, check out my celebrity look alikes, and the following site: http://www.myheritage.com. It's a fun distraction.

So that was my view at MSG. The Knicks were big and slow compared to the Bulls. It was exciting for like five minutes towards the end of the game.
The next NYC conquest: Either David Letterman or Saturday Night Live tickets.

On a totally different tip, I am slowly starting to train for a triathlon. I figure that since I've got all this time I could try my hand at a little competition. My target is may so as of january I will be in training mode. I'm still trying to figure out how I'll train when I'm in the Philippines, but I'll work it all in somehow.
Yup, that's right in january my other half and I are off to the Philippines for two weeks.
I also have to mention now that we're on the subject of my other half (a.k.a. P-love, http://www.myspace.com/weloveplove), that he will be playing a show as part of the band Taxi Taxi (http://www.myspace.com/taxitaxiband), November, 29 2006 at Fat Baby, 112 Rivington St., New York, Cost: $7.
So that's all for now, I'm off to watch DVR'd Heroes...

So here I go, I'm not the blogging type but I guess I can document my move to NYC.
Noteworthy events:
NY Yankees game
Attending a taping of Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Next exiting event:
Courtside Knicks tickets!!!


I guess now that I'll be blogging I should make an effort to do interesting stuff to share with all two people that'll be reading.
So far though I have to say NYC is a great place to be. I am very fortunate to be able to enjoy it before jumping into the grind.
As a fellow blogger I vow to never use this blog as a venting device. Please help to keep me on my toes!

Here are some other events that I took part in:
Volunteer for the NY marathon. I totally missed Lance! Oh well. I was stationed at the foot of the Pulaski bridge, which is the half-way mark (mile 13). I hope to be one of the runners some day!
City college graduate fairs. Gathering info for now to find the right school for me. I hope that I win the IPod video that you can win by signing up for the fair.

I've also attended a bunch of functions (helping out with the Chocolate fountain) such as:
The Melanoma Foundation fundraiser, which was at the Puck building (where Will & Grace worked I think) in SoHo.
A benefit for Lyme disease at Gustavino's. The highlight of the night, The Pumpkin ravioli. Oh man...

Last but not least, The Museums:
The Cooper-Hewitt, http://ndm.si.edu/
The Frick Collection, http://www.frick.org/index.htm
The Met (0f course), http://www.metmuseum.org/
The MoMa, http://www.moma.org/

Well I know there is so much more to see, so I gotta go! See ya!
