Resolutions Part Deux? An Update

Remember back in January when I promised to do a bunch of  things  like “Be a Tourist”, “Write twice a week” and “Go on a trip”… Well, I’ve only completed one so far (traveled back to San Diego), but hey, that’s okay – I’ve done tons of other fun things in the meanwhile. I just can’t believe it’s already APRIL! Where has the time gone?

JANUARY – BE A TOURIST! Visit at least 2 museums and blog about them. I have failed to be a good New Yorker and see some of the sights and sounds that make NYC so amazing. It’s time for me to go out and explore.  This week I am off from work so I might go out and explore the city. Recommendations anybody?

FEBRUARY – BE A WRITER! Write at least twice a week, three times for good measure. Technically speaking, I did write everyday (for school, of course), but in order to improve my writing/photography/exploring skills, I really do need to get out more. This sort of links into January’s goal. 

MARCH – BE A TRAVELER! Go on a trip; it doesn’t have to be international or require a plane. Just get out of the city to fulfill your Wunderlust. COMPLETE – Spring Break in San Diego

APRIL – BE BOLD! Try one new activity and stick to it this month, whether its hot yoga or spin or even kayaking – just go out and do it.

April’s goal is something definitely attainable… Phebe and I were actually talking about how we wanted to try one new restaurant/bar a week for a month, so I might try to incorporate that into this month. I also just recently joined a fantasy baseball team – that might work as well. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Until next time,

Missing Manhattan: A Compilation of Photos

Two months until I’m back in the city and I cannot even explain how much I’m missing it. I love to take pictures and more often than not I love to pretend that I’m actually a great photographer. Whilst in New York, I tried to avoid looking like a tourist and carrying around my large Canon 60D, but hey sometimes you just cannot resist the beauty of the Concrete Jungle. Here are some of my favorite pics from both my Canon and my handy dandy iPhone.
