Reader's Digest version for 2013 so far - I'm in New York. Crazy times right? I have always wanted to live in NYC, and I have always wanted to work on this particular type of project from start to finish, and boom - in 2013, both happened at the same time. Ultimately I am lucky. I was freezing my ass off and homesick as fuck in January and February, but I am lucky.
More stories or pictures to come (maybe) - but fast forward to last night. To the momentous occasion.
I'm walking around the West Village (hey! I'm getting the location lingo down...) on a Saturday night and there are playing cards littered on the sidewalk. My friend says "What card do you think that one is?" I take a moment to think, mull over some options and choose Ace of Hearts. He picks the 2 of Clubs, which coincidentally was my other choice, and we try to figure out some sort of prize should someone win, and that it's a draw when we both ultimately lose. He uses his shoe to flip over the card - and BOOM, Ace of Hearts. I look so money I can't even stand it. I should bought a lottery ticket right at that moment - but glory is pretty priceless, so I'll go with that.
