So, the idea behind starting this new blog, is to document my thoughts, experiences, adventures, and misadventures, as I begin a whole new phase in my life. I’m finally taking a plunge I’ve been wanting to take for a good long while, and while it feels great, it’s also a little terrifying. New York is not a completely strange town to me, I’ve lived there before, but the differences are enough to make this a rather drastic change from what I’m used to here on the island.

Next Tuesday, I’ll be driving my girlfriend off to the airport so she can kick off our upcoming new life together over there, but I’ll be staying behind, for a month, maybe two, maybe longer.. as long as it takes for her to find a job over there, so I can keep helping to pay the bills with my salary. So I suppose I have a little more time to prepare myself mentally for the change, and one way is to start remembering what it’s like to have all those buildings around. There’s few places here on the island where you can get the feeling of what it’s like to walk down the street in Manhattan, but La Milla de Oro comes close. Had some time there today to just look up at the buildings, and think.
