HERE I AM...AND WHY I'M BLOGGING

Hi! I got inspired by a friend's blog...
I read it when I miss his funny antics or when I just want to know what's going on in his life and with our mutual friends. And, it definitely has improved over the years. It's new and I'm loving it. So, here I am...

This blog is not necessarily the most unique, I'm sure. But, it's helping me get back into the groove.

A little background: I'm a Los Angeles native. Needed to get out of town back in 2001 (I'm sure you natives know what I'm talking about). Moved to Chicago...hopped around to DC, London and finally settled in NYC.

Here I am...8 years later with more than 6 years under my belt in the Big Apple. And boy...do I MISS it! Oh, forgot to say...I'm back in Tinsletown. Lots of reasons for it...but, I'm back and I'm not sure I love it just yet. It hasn't even been 2 weeks. I know you NY'ers are thinking the same thing.

The point of this blog is really to re-acquaint myself with my native town. Can I REALLY survive here after living in one of the best cities in the world? Can I adjust to the early nights (you know....that whole 1am bar close time)? Can I drive around town and stay sane sitting in the stand-still traffic? Can I find food that will melt in my mouth? Oh, how I miss you my NYC foodie peeps! Can the culture/museums/art compare? And, how will I be able to catch up with all of my friends across the country and beyond --across the pond? You know who you are!

This blog is an exercise in seeing whether or not I can have a new and perhaps, better appreciation for the city of Angels. I'm just going to go with the flow and hope that you enjoy this exploratory journey with me.

PS. I'm not saying this blog will continue along the same path forever...and, it may evolve into something completely different. But for now, it's an outlet for me....to figure out where I fit in....in Los Angeles.
