New York
I recently passed through my quarter-life crisis, where it was really hard to find anyone who really enjoyed what they do. People in this town are a cynical bunch. Make your money, then get out. That's why it's so awesome to have friends who really enjoy
Food
Ok - my favorite dish of all time is pretty simple: boiled lobster. Butter, without or with, doesn't matter. It's the best dish ever. If there is a God, then He is good. Ok, so here with the help of my buddy Kerry, is the quick
New York
It's a fleeting thing, New York neighborhoods. Image supplants dreams. Grab on while you can.
Twentysomething
To de-stress recently, I took the camera and wandered around the city. It's one of the good things about New York – whenever you want to engage, to be jostled, just step outside and you'll get pummeled. I had lots of fun walking around and getting lost
New York
I went for a run today in Prospect Park: 6K. Pretty proud of myself for sweating up the hills around the loop – I figured I needed to get in shape cause why the hell not? But that's besides the point. On the slow walk back home, I stole

What the hell is wrong with people? On so many levels this is wrong: * Turning your kid into an Oompa Loompa * Selling fake tans * Selling fake tans with the name "the Lindsay Lohan" * Wanting to be like Lindsay Lohan * Paying $1300 for a fake tan * Charging $1300 * Charging

I wished I had a green thumb to grow stuff. But alas, it's not to be. I guess I'm doing ok with my cactus but uh, my ivy needs water. I think it's dead. Back to the whole 'looking for work' thing
Travels
I 'borrowed' Candice's camera often during the travel stint and have just downloaded some of the photos that I liked. It was fun while it lasted!
Tech & Etc

By allowing third-party applications to thrive, it's set to become the logical next step in tech evolution -- from a desktop operating system a la Windows to a social, user-oriented Net-based operating platform.
