Inaugural Post

This is my first post on a blog that I have had for about 6 months – I originally started the blog as a way to put in my “Jem” Avatar to post comments on Midwesterner in nyc’s blog. That led to me hanging out with other commentators and they made me feel like a loser for not actually posting on my non-blog.

So! after careful thought and analysis, I've decided to begin posting on my blog. What I really want from my blog is just a place to record things that are actually going on in my life. So my blog will be less social commentary and more mundane records of my existence. I think we’re off to a fantastic start!

Recently I have been occupied with two things. The first is to secure a job – I recently left (aka was let go of) a job at a very cool and hip hair company. I was a long-term temp in their Education department, which basically means I was like every other full-time employee there except with no benefits. So after my time there was ended I basically shifted in to a week of depression, followed by approx 3 weeks of self-renewal and determination. I temped shortly at some media companies and finally, today, I have gotten a long-term temp gig at a music company that I am absolutely thrilled about. I actually moved up to New York to work for this Company so….this is a great day!

My second obsession as of late has been my health, or particularly, my lack of. Growing up I was a competitive swimmer and would spend about 20-24 hours in the pool every week. Currently I am a gymrat, because I like working out! Really! But lately I have been phoning it in and as a result, I am less than my best. So, as boring as it may be – I will be documenting my health journey here as well. Like today for instance I have not yet been to the gym and I am dy-ing because I really want to watch So You Think You Can Dance – It’s the Finale!!

And with that, I will sign off on my first official post. More to follow.
