Hello world!

My friend’s fiance once commented that my life would be great material for a sitcom. While I feel this was a bit of an overstatement, I decided to take it as a compliment and giggle about the notion that anyone might find my life even remotely interesting, let alone fascinating enough to warrant a television show. Now, the better part of a year later, I have caved to the insistence that I should start a blog to share my random experiences, travels, useless knowledge, and thoughts on life.

Naturally, much of the material for the basis of this blog has already occurred, and I will try to weave in important aspects of the backstory as they become relevant to current thoughts and events. Things that you should know up front:

I am perpetually single, and my forays into the dating world seem to frequently be met with unbelievable tales of things that simply don’t happen to normal people. My most recent “relationship” would be better set in a soap opera than reality. But, for reasons unknown to myself at present, I try to laugh it off and press on in my enduring quest for love and companionship.

I have lived in NYC off and on for 4 1/2 years now, and no matter where else I may go, I always feel compelled to come back here. It inspires me, repulses me, and has me under its spell.

I have a thousand ideas a minute, but I’m remarkably and consistently delinquent at following through on many of them. My foremost goal for the new year is to cultivate my passions and use them to feel more fulfilled in life.

Happy Reading! 🙂
