23 months...
it has been 23 months since i last posted on this blog. it, like many others had been relegated to a state of lifelessness because no one (namely me) hasn't put forth the time, energy, or effort to take it off life support. alas, one of my new year's resolutions was to breathe life back into my blog and to post AT LEAST once a month. the fact that my first post is in latter part of march shows how well, i'm doing... but i figure an average of 12 posts will be just as good.
much has transpired in the last 23 months. so much in fact that it is difficult to know where to begin with my musings. i guess the BIG three is as good a place to begin as any. the BIG three as defined by a new yorker and three of her girlfriends in a popular, expired series are job, apartment, & love/relationship.
the living situation has changed a bit in the last 23 months... moving back across the hudson river into brooklyn. these days, i lay my head in prospect heights. i am a subway stop away from my first apartment in brooklyn, three blocks from my mother's apartment in brooklyn (25+ years ago), and walking distance to my uncle. it is a wonderful neighborhood with a wonderful assortment of restaurant, bars, etc. definitely enjoy wakin' up & having leisurely days in brooklyn. the actual apartment situation... well, that's a little bit more "interesting". 23 months ago, i roomed with my best friend. [sidebar: he has sense moved to atlanta and will be finishing up his masters degree in architecture this spring] now, i live with a friend of a friend. our mutual friend deserted her room for atlanta... it was around the same time i was looking for a place in brooklyn... so it worked out. the biggest adjustment hasn't been living with a female, but individual quirks. definitely came to the realization that i'm not rooming with best friend any more. needless to say, after a few incidents... there's a bit of tension in the apt., though. kinda like a college roommate who you live with but wouldn't necessarily select them to be a roommate if you had a choice.
love/relationship... that's a subject for another blog. suffice to say... things have changed over the last 23 months. i have recently been brought over to the dark side one whom i dubbed "the thief of innocence."
employment has changed in the last 23 months as well. i left the council about 19 months ago to join a recently elected mayor in his newly formed administration. i was brought on by the person whom he selected to be his number two. it has been one of the most interesting experiences i have had, and probably ever will have. it will more than likely provide ample fodder for my musings. i accepted the offer to serve in the administration for a number of reasons... namely, the opportunity to assist in the transformation of an urban city from within government. though i've been in government for the past 19 months, things have changed significantly...
aside from the BIG three, there are a multitude of other things that have occurred over the last 23 months and are still occurring. essentially, there is much to blog about, including details glanced over...
i welcome the return to the university... let the musings begin.
