St. Peter and God were having a cup of coffee when God looks at St. Peter and says "You know, I'm tired. I think I need a vacation."
St. Peter replies "I think you deserve it, where do you want to go?"
God: "I don't know. I've been everywhere, I want something a little different."
St. Peter: "How about the moon?"
God: "The moon... I don't know.. not much atmosphere."
St. Peter: "There's always Earth."
God: "Earth? No thanks, last time I went there I hooked up with a jewish chick and they have been talking about it ever since."
So, 2008, what to say? The move to New York to pursue a life long dream of living in the city and film school has been a mixed bag. On one hand we are now living in the most amazing city I have ever lived in. It is amazing to be able to walk among the giants of my dreams, and realize that like it or not, I am now a part of the fray.
The other day, I sat on a subway car coated in Post It notes left for people who want to share their ideas, as a sort of temporary art installation/graffiti project. I participated.
A couple of weeks ago, the ferry was taken over by the subway hip hop series, and I got to watch thirty minutes of uninterrupted, unscripted and live hip hop happening before my eyes.
Every now and then, there is a brass band that plays in the Union Square subway station, you can hear them through the entire station (that spans several blocks).
Snow falling mutes the city, even the ever present buzz.
Living on the water has reignited my love for marine life.
I know that 2008 was the year for the leap of faith, and I leaped. Now, 2009 is about making the landing stick. It will be an obstacle course, there will continue to be blocks placed before me and the ground will occasionally drop out from beneath my feet but I will have to find ground, and move to the next challenge.
And this day, we sailed on.
