so NYC is great

it has always interested me to listen in on total strangers conversations, but living here in NYC i have heard it all. kids discussing the length of their probation, a crazed woman talking about all her family members being incarcerated and why shes lucky causes shes not pregnant. the public transit here has a little bit for every body. things are great. when im having a bad day i know i can hop on the bus or the train and get a great story that brightens up the rest of the day. i think that is the only thing that im going to miss.
right this minute life is moving forward in a good way.

everyday is something new.

the east coast is a strange place when it comes to weather, for instance yesterday was gross and rainy and then upon waking this morning i discovered that today is going to be absolutely gorgeous and picture taking is a must. i never know what to expect over here its like a daily adventure for one.

somethings are better left gold

walking from moma we stumbled upon a huge hello kitty statue, it was amazing and wonderful all at the same time. there are so many things in this life that i want to do i dont know if they all will happen. the only thing i can do is try and make all of them happen while im still young and its ok to goof around. a new project is laughing...and going about making those that i meet laugh or at least enjoy who they are now at this very moment.

yeah you know its summer

this is what happens where people have too much free time. they enjoy themselves. and that is what aileen, gladys and myself are doing on cinco di mayo. this week i heard a man pooped and left it at the information desk in the union square barnes, and a gnome came into to use the restroom. life is great. all i need is a day off and then every thing will be complete

schools out for the summer

monday was the last day of the semester, awesome!!!!!!!!! and to kick the summer months off i hit the galleries in chelsea. it was great there are so many amazing things non-photo out there. i want so badly to do more then photo, i want to enjoy it all. everything that art has to offer. there are ideas swimming in my head, i feel this summer is going to be one of the most productive times in my life.

the challenge

coming from california to this big city is exciting and challenging. there are so many things to do and see. to venture out and discover but there is something lacking here that other southern cal kids dont see. for me it is family. new york city is fast, flashy, and worth the investigation for this time in my life, but not the place for a life time. unlike many of my CA friends who find this place amazing and never want to leave i still have strong feelings for where i grew up and the people that i have left to be here.

to be truthful there are so many other places in this world that i would rather live. london is the major dream that i want to come true to learn there and develop another phase of my life there. so many people my age have yet to leave this country, if feel this is why they feel so passionate about this place, because it is the first time they have been away from home. this is the place where they will find who they are, their place of discovery.

i am going back to southern california when school is over. and i the hopes for my future make it to london to finish my grad work and grow for that period of my life. until then im here in NYC learning the ropes of life at this stage. thank you to the ones that i love for this whole adventure. its been amazing as well as a splendid challenge.
