Take A Walk

Get ready...this one's a doozy...

When was the last time you took a walk? Not to work or to any pre-set destination; but just started out on foot in) a direction and enjoyed the journey?

I finally gave myself that luxury (and, yes, I considder what I did the true meaning of luxury) this evening. For those of you that my know New York City geography my Billy-Family-Circle-Dotted-Line went from my store on the corner of W. 15th and 9th Ave due west to the path along the West Side Highway/West St. all the way down past the West Village, Tribecca, Battery Park City, Financial District. Then walked along the south harbors (where one can take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty) and started back north past the Staten Island Ferry station up to South Street Seaport, to the Brooklyn Bridge and then cut into City Hall where I finally took the train home....

Clarity - that's all I can really come up with right now. A mobile Fortress of Solitude that allowed me the luxury of thinking without pressure or in any context.

Friday marks one year in this fine city. How fucking excited am I that not only did I survive the year, but I thrived because of it. I'm now embarking on a new career of my choice with Jamba Juice, with more money and more responsibility. I am one of those FEW lucky people that can say they are.....not making their dreams come true.....how boring....but someone who is making the most of what they have and what they can chess-piece their way to.

I'll leave it at that for now. I'm finally just really greatful for the knocking down of the severe wrtiter's block I ran into over the past several months. Hopefully you'll see a semi-consistant frequency of postings on here. Still not sure what direction this blog thing is going. But for now its fun marking my own time here on this planet with a way for others to see my dotted line behind me.

Now go grab your iPod and take a walk. Talk to you all soon.
