what is up

*not* a continuation of a previous blog, but a rebirth of some sort, i guess. unlike my other very public friendster blog, i'm hoping that this will be one that is read by few on their own volition rather than read by many on friendster's incessant prompting. that being said, on this page you will come across thoughtful posts, straight-up feelings, manifestos on education reform, thoughts on social change, and generally - the craziness that *is* my world.....enjoy : )

greetings from slumpville

i think something inside of me is _screaming_ to take leave of my skin. or alternatively, implode into me even deeper that it already is. the source of this general angst: part of it's definitely nyc, a lot of it is the good ole quarter life crisis (refered to as qlc henceforth).

my coping mechanism tends to be netflix for the most part, and food, of course. not the most healthy, balanced approach but, hey, those are consistent things in my life that'll always be there for me...and now i'm smiling at how silly this all sounds.

these days - via netflix - i'm on the third season of sex in the city. it's actually a pretty sad season because carrie cheats on a genuinely nice guy with a genuinely shady one and her life unravels before your very eyes. i watched an episode while i was getting ready for work this morning, and boy what a downer way to start the day.

on the flip side, it's the holiday season and i'll be going home soon.

on the flip flip side, it's the holiday season and there are too many friggin' people on the streets of ny.

Come out to South Dakota... there's more cows and trees here than people!

But then there is the sub-zero temperatures... and it gets awful windy here.

Hello, slumpville.
Speaking of seeking solace in food, I'd been doing pretty well for a while there, but totally kicked the "healthy eating" thing tonight at a friend's holiday cookie exchange party. I ate 10 cookies dude. :-\ Feeling a little sick now; sorry didn't get to talk to you tonight. Hope all's well...
