Life Should Be Fun......

That has long been my mantra/motto/way of life and publicly it has been  the title of my blog for about 4-5 years now. Sadly it has not been that much fun lately; not in a scary kinda losing it way, just not feeling the joy of getting out there and trying new things.

Something needs to change.

I need to change.

I need to catch that fire again that had me being the happiest person in the room since I was back in school. 

I think I need some challenges.

I have some incredible people in my life; I could count 4 of them who I would do anything and everything for. At least two of them could be reading this right now.  I know one of them told me he was reading the blog just yesterday. Yeah you. What up?

I want to apologize to these people for one because I am totally filled with joy when I see them but it just isn’t coming across.

So here is a challenge for you: suggest some things for me to do that one won’t get me killed/maimed or thrown in jail. Free/cheap is better since if I wanted that big of a challenge I guess I would just go back to school and start all over again.  Haha.  Hey, that isn’t a bad Idea. Hmmmmm…

Okay, just wanted to get that off my chest.

Oh and as this Posterous site is new to me I should say I write from a stream of consciousness and I do not edit for content or phrasing so mostly it is as it comes out of my brain.

Thanks.

When I get in a funk. I go to the park and sit on a bench. Bring a snack and some crackers for the squirrels. Say hello to every person that passes, talk to whom ever sits next to you. After a while go into some shops and talk with the clerk there about something interesting you saw in the store and ask about the history of the store. You will find you had a good time and made some new friends. Possibly you even made them smile. It is just a matter of kick starting your extrovert engine.

I use a camera. Ask if I can take a picture and then inquire about their story. Sort of like this, "are you from here", "what is there that might be interesting around here". I let the conversation take it's course. Works everytime.

Have You Ever.....

just wanted to cry and you can't? Ever feel like you just don't remember how? Lately I think I just can't anymore. I have been let down a number of times lately, just loving/hating my life, being happy with what I have/wanting more out of myself but you would think at least once I something would come out of me. At least a glassy eye; nothing. I know I am incredibly guarded at all times and I am the one people honestly love to be around because I make you feel good about yourself, but I am starting to think that being that person really does take its toll on me personally. I don't know why. Maybe it is just the giving; what is really left for me. Now I am not saying it is anyone's fault but my own. In the phrasing of Vincent from last season's Project Runway, " I don't know but it gets me off". I do like to make people feel good. Maybe it is I am just saturated with what people say is Real NY. NYC is so real. NYC is about as real as Los Ang...

A Big Hello to......

Mr Eric Larson . Chris at Clever Fool . A couple of readers who were nice enough to identify himself somehow to me. There are more people I could list but I think I will just list a couple at a time and you can also check out their blogs, if they have one and maybe add it to your favorites. Well, on your favorites list below mine, of course. Headed to the park now. Have a sunny Saturday, I will.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.
