City Obsession

I'm currently sitting in Connecticut traffic en route to my favorite city on this side of the pond, New York.

The other day I realized that I have an obsession with New York. All my favorite TV shows are New York-based (30 Rock, Seinfeld, Sex and the City, Ugly Betty). Billy Joel is from New York (so is Alicia Keys). A large part of the music industry is in New York, as well as all my favorite places to eat.

You can't be bored in New York. If you are, then you're a boring person. I'm paraphrasing that a bit, but I believe it. The things to do in New York are endless. As are the opportunities, which is one of the main reasons I'm so in love with it. I feel like anything is possible in New York. I do believe that anything really is possible, but when I'm in Manhattan that feeling is multiplied by a million. Just the thought of it makes me smile.

In a few hours time, I will be walking through Grand Central to hop on a 4 train to my hotel. It's almost as if all my time spent in the city is practice for when I live there, and I will no longer need to obsess over a dream because it won't be a dream anymore.

It will be reality.

Another Post

I used to be a regular blogger, what happened to me? The summer weather has me spending less time online and more time outdoors. I've also been heavy into karate again (I have about half an hour until my next lesson), and I've just been neglecting my blog. I'm torn between keeping this or only using my tumblog. These posts feed right into there, but those don't feed into here.

I'll keep this for now, but I'm not sure how much longer.

Anyway, I've been writing a lot of songs lately, which is great! I'm excited to get to work on them. I've also been transcribing a boatload of Beatles songs for my lessons, and because they're amazing. The songs are beyond perfect. My next influential post may have to be about them.

I'm going to New York on Thursday. I'm very excited to return to my semi-adopted home. I haven't been since May. I'm overdue for a visit. I swear I could write albums worth of music about New York. I may do that. Write ex-number of songs about the City. I already have one. It's over there on the right. I have a better version that I should post soon.

This has been kind of scattered. I think I'm gonna go now.
