engh...back to reality

Is it really good to be back in New York City? Or does it just mean that I'm back to reality which currently consists of an uphill battle (yet quite exciting) to figure out and create my career path, bills, an unorganized apartment, and current unemployment. Ah yes, I'm living the dream.

I'd like to mention that whenever you book a red-eye flight, be prepared to be tired the next day. I realize this statement is not profound or anything, but for most of the afternoon and early evening I felt as if at any moment I could be asleep, in any position, anywhere. But it gave me a full day to spend showing my family some DVD's of my dancing, baking cupcakes and a peach pie, eating the cupcakes and peach pie with vanilla bean Dreyer's Ice Cream (my brother will argue it is the best), packing, having a nice dinner at Spiro's Pizza (a place you almost always see someone you know from high school at), and driving to the airport.

The weather the whole trip was just beautiful exept the last day which was a bit rainy and overcast. I guess it had to live up to the stereotype at least once during my stay. Pictures will be coming soon, so be prepared to be awstruck with how awesome I am pictorally.

I am sorting through my brain while I write this to figure out what stories and events I'll write about during the next week or so based mostly on what would be interesting or appropriate, so be prepared for unending entertainment (although the main entertainment reading my stories and thoughts does indeed end right after you read it, I say unending because I will infect your mind somehow and the tendency is to keep thinking about me when you least expect). Those who know me already know I'm an idiot yet awesome at the same time, but if you haven't met my family, just know that I had to get my personality somewhere. In my view and defense, we are all very level headed and "normal" in the sense that I know of many other individuals and families that are not nearly as "normal" as we are and do not get along as well as we do (exept in certain incidences).

So as I eat the yummy Emmi yogurt and listen to the soundtrack to the Disney film Mulan I leave you with this profoundly profound thought..."Tranguil as a forest, but a fire within, once you find your center, you are sure to win."
