Earth Shakin', Leaf Blowin' Moves

It's been a helluva two weeks.

I've packed my life and moved over 1,000 miles away. Experienced an earthquake. Met CouchSurfers for free outdoor movies: Bryant Park - Dirty Harry and Central Park - El Cantante. I've gotten lost on the subway. I've gotten lost trying to find a bus stop. I've had a job interview. I've felt lonely. I've taken free tours of Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, and Greenwich Village. I've lived through another hurricane.

I've laughed. I've cried. And I've felt like all I want to do is go home. But I'm stronger than that and I know that sooner or later (fingers crossed for sooner) that I will make friends and this loneliness and boredom will all be left behind me. After all, who would want to exchange free movies, concerts, and tours to go back to the land of the tourist? I'll stick it out in Brooklyn.

I'm sure many are wondering about the hurricane. Too much hype. False panic. But I don't blame it on the residents, they don't know any better, most of them have never lived through one before. I blame it on the media and our mayor who continued to instill fear into the people, yet never tell them what they needed to do, with the exception of evacuate. Good thing it was only a very weak Category 1 or less when it made its way through NYC, or people would've come back to more than flooding damage. I was amazed that barely anyone along my street took in their garbage cans or miscellaneous items outside that could have been used as projectile missiles. But all in all it ended up being nothing but a lot of rain and wind.

Well I'm not very much in a writing mood at the moment, but I had neglected the blog for a few days and wanted to return for a short post. I'm going to upload some images from the last week, so be on the look out for them.
