Creepy Subway Riders (updated)
This is the third time I’ve seen these women on the 1 train. I noticed them about three months ago, dressed almost identically in dirty, old-fashioned skirts and sweaters. They were lying against each other, just as they are here. About a month later, I saw them sitting in either the 18th street or 23rd street station on the 1 line. Very creepy. This morning, on my way in to work, I saw them for the third time and I had to take a picture with my phone’s camera because I had started to think that I had been hallucinating. This is in the top-five weird things I’ve seen in NYC.

Locked out
I’ve decided to restart blogging on my blog again. Or maybe I’m going to start blogging as I never really did blog consistently. Wow, it’s amazing how when you say (or type) blog several times, it starts to sound weird again, like it did way back in 2005.
I did get some fair success with one post about a crash and burn job interview. It has made me the number two hit on google when you search for the company World Access Marketing: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=world+access+marketing&aq=0&oq=world+access+m&aqi=g4g-m1. As much as that company sucked, I hope they keep interviewing people so I can stay #2 on google.
Anyway, why the photo to the right? Well, I have thousands and thousands of photos and I plan to transform this from that seems to be about my crappy work life to a blog about the thing I love second-most outside of work: Photography. That’s not to say it will be all about shutter speeds and lighting. I may use photos to illustrate what I’m thinking or where I’m going.
Right now I"m showing one of my favorites. I love the sense of sadness and cold and the feeling that, yes, Shea Stadium may have been a sub-optimal baseball stadium but many summer nights were spent there. It was home, and i'm never going to get back in.
Thanks for reading this far,

Where are we now?
So it's no secret that Jess and I have a sudden urge to remove ourselves from Brooklyn only to visit occasionally in the future. I think something has happened in the last twenty years. New York is not the rough and tumble place it was when I was growing up. The Bronx aren't even scary anymore. Everyone wants to live here now and everyone is working so hard to stay here that the quality of life is severely diminished. Why should I be working overtime... without getting paid for overtime? If everyone else is doing it, it doesn't mean I have to and if I do have to it doesn't mean I am going to stay. There is a better life out there. I feel like I am in a sequel to Kafka's The Castle. I feel like I gained entrance into the regal dwelling but keeping this post is compromising my life, my health, my whole being. I feel like I got in and have learned that it's not worth the effort to stay. I can't complain about my time here, if nothing else, I met Jessica and that is worth enduring far worse. I am only glad that she wants to leave as well and that we should be gone by summer.

Holidays, 2008
Well, I'm glad that's over. Had a rough season. It started out well-enough, when I got engaged to Jessica. Her step-father, unfortunately, passed away less than a week later. On December 23, my great-uncle, whom I was very close to, passed away as well. They will be missed.
So the holiday season was a whirlwind of work (everyone wants to post programs by December 31 in my industry) travel, funeral pereparations, future nephews stayinhg with us in Brooklyn, a funeral, Christmas parties, another funeral, Wii and no running.
It was good to wash away 2008 with cocktails provided by Death and Company and begin to think again about the future.
I must say that I am happy with my Shea Stadium project, my semi-usual running schedule and the number of books I read in 2008. Perhaps in 2009 I will finish a marathon or write a novel. I expect to do both in my lifetime. I wonder which will happen first.
