48th and 6th

Live from New York...

someone please tell me why i'm being forced to sit in a cubicle in NYC with absolutely nothing to do? with very limited access to my email folders and systems, i'm pretty much useless. just a waste of time...and space. so i'm blogging. even though i'm sitting in a fish bowl. typing away. crys is out on canal street bargaining with the street vendors. i should be there with her right now & that depresses me more than anything.

so after my failed attempts of getting a cab this morning, i hopped onto a random bus hoping it would take me somewhat closer to my destination: the muse. and as i sat on the bus with my luggage, i looked around at the cold/dry faces and thought...i can do this...but i dont want to. turns out i've grown an affinity to palm trees and 60 degree winters. home. i really don't care for seasons.

i met up some old friends last night. some that i havent seen in over 5 years. but there we were. the four of us. an odd group for sure, but we had all fought our way out of the bubble & that was the glue. we each went around and gave a recap of what's happened since high school, and even though most of our stories had an unfortunate ending, we couldn't do anything but laugh about it. i was declared the winner of story time, which i've realized...isn't really a good thing.

it's funny how life works. i definitely haven't been as religious since moving out here. no small groups, no Bible reading, no involvement, and occasional sunday services. but looking at my life, waking up every morning, i've realized that he's made himself more visible to me than ever before. i SEE him in my life. working. the challenges, the relationships, the environment, the thoughts. life right after school. probably the most impactful year of anyone's life. the most amount of learning. change. growth. i'm just trying to soak it all in before it passes. i like who i am, but more importantly, i love who i'm becoming.

i'm grinnin like a fool :)
