Well, i've been prettying busy making moves and even though i've thought about my blog, i havent really come across anything interesting to add. But since it's been a while i'll just entertain you with an update on myself and the world around me.
My best friend just had a baby girl...she's absolutely adorable. I got to see her seconds after she was brought into this wild world. The first thoughts in my mind, besides random, scrabbled spurts of joy and excitement was that she look like snow white. Pure, precious, snow white skin, jet black hair, and red little lips. It's always exciting to be part of the ceremony of life and imagine that i myself was brought into the world the same way. I can only imagine what this new birth will mean to the world and how she will evolve. It's crazy how time stops to deliever a new miracle of life even though the world continues with it's regularly scheduled death, diease, war, economic, law-making, life altering, technologically advancing activities.
On another note, I just got my own place and i'm pretty damn proud of myself. My son and I now have a two bedroom apartment in the same neighborhood i grew up in. Although, i'll have a big empty living room for a while, i'm estatic, and envisioning the decor, the color scheme, the furniture, the curtains, and of course creating a safe comfortable place for my son to grow in.
So this is just another blessing to add to my accomplishments. I have a degree, a job i enjoy, my own place, and a little boy who puts a smile on my face every morning. Thank you God...and thank you to all those positive people around me who support me and stand behind me.
EJ. Seven months have gone by so quickly. And to think, it's just the begining of our journey together. It's impossible for me to express my joys, my fears, my love, my excitement, my anxiety and my worries when it comes to parenthood. It's an emotion so overwhelming and ever changing and growing that a nervous tear-full lump evolves everytime i give thought to it.
A few days ago, he was crawling happily across my living room floor when his body seem to move a little faster than his arms and his face went down into my hardwood floors, gushing blood from a busted bottom lip. "Oh boy" i thought, "here we go". His first busted lip and like fifty thousand more to come and the kid isnt even walking yet. But i have to say we handled it well. Baby boy, i can't be there to stop your every fall but i certainly will be there to pick you. I promise.
As for the world, The National Republican Convention is here in New York, an although it does not affect my commute it definitely has us New Yorkers paranoid. This morning i walk into the subway station and notice two large gallons of what seemed like bleach sitting on a bench and i immediately thought "how suspicious does that look, I hope it belongs to the transit workers and not some chemical bomb". Then at 161 I park myself on a bench to read my Dan Brown novel until the train arrives and realize i'm sitting next to a plastic bag with some green leaves sticking out of it. I ignore it thinking it might be a package of someone who is standing. Then this lady ask me, "is that yours?" I glance over at her and shake my head. She goes, "that could be a bomb" and starts to look inside the bag. Honestly, the current Bush administration is fighting a war against terrorist for peace, right? Well if you really want things so peaceful, why even bother coming to NYC for the National Republican Convention.
