My first time in New York
This past February I was in New Jersey for work however I had some time that night so I went into the New York.
It started with me sitting in my hotel room after arrival at the Newark International Marriott. I was talking to a friend of mine and we were just talking about the hotel and the area. He had been to the same venue 2 years prior for the same reason I was, work. After about 15 minutes or so he brought up the fact that I should go into New York. At first it seemed like an exciting idea however after the getting past the excitement I realized I had no idea how to get there or where to go in New York. Secondly nightfall was upon me and I wasn't sure I should be headed into the big apple by myself. However I couldn't resist the idea so I took off downstairs. There was a extremely nice and helpful concierge. She equipped me with a city map as well as the train schedule of the New Jersey Transit train that goes into New York's Penn Station. For those of you who have never been Penn Station is the Times Square station. Times Square is walking distance.
I buttoned up my jacket to brave the cold and proceeded outside to wait for the complimentary shuttle that takes you to the airport. Once at the airport you take the air shuttle (monaural) to the train station. The ticket is cheap, only $14. Once on the train my mind raced with thoughts of all the sights and sounds of New York. When the train finally arrived at Penn Station about half hour later I got off and felt as if I was in a busy airport terminal. There were tons of people rushing for the stairs probably to get out of the station and catch a cab home. When I looked around I was surrounded by a variety of different shops. Then I saw my plan of action, the stairs that lead up to the city. I walked briskly to the stairs and up not only due to excitement but also to keep up with the locals.
Once I reached the top I couldn't believe my eyes, I felt as if I was in a movie set. The smell, the sights, the sounds were nothing like I imagined, they were better. The building that was right in front was large in scale compared to most LA buildings. There were people all around catching cabs or going down into the station to catch other trains that went elsewhere in the city.
I proceeded to walk to the right and within a matter of seconds I came across my first landmark, The Garden, famous Madison Square Garden. From there I set off into Times Square. As I was walking towards the square I was snapping away photos with my camera to capture the moments of the beautiful city. I saw a few other sights along the way as well such as the ESPN zone, the NASDAQ building as well as MTV. Unfortunately TRL was not on and I couldn't get on TV. I saw many corporate buildings along the way and many people were just getting off work (this was about 8pm EST). The people walking around were all fashionably dressed and I felt underdressed in jeans. Once I arrived I couldn't believe it, since I thought that I was on the set of a movie before this surely had to be a movie set. The amazing amount of bright lights and digital screens everywhere. The city was so alive and the people were minding there own business not minding the tourists at all. The streets of course were flowing with yellow as the taxicabs kept up with tradition honking every second they got, impatient as always (which I enjoyed). All around me were skyscrapers with no room in between. In front of me was the famous screen that always shows people during New Years Eve. Everywhere I looked the advertisements had some sort of electronic signature separating itself from all the rest. I could only imagine what it takes to get that much electricity to such an awesome section of one city. I didn't want to leave, there was still so much more to see however it was getting late and I still had to catch a train back to New Jersey for work. To anyone who has not been you are missing out on one of the greatest cities ever built. I encourage all to go and walk around the city and blend into the city life, it is one of the experiences I will forever cherish.

My Perfect Lover
This is my first attempt at blogging so please be kind when reading.
Some of you who read this must be dying to know why my first post is about something personal. Well the answer that all of you reading this are longing for is simply that a friend of mine has a blog in which she was tagged, meaning she had to respond to the same title. In turn she was to tag others and it just so happened I was on the list of those tagged. Hopefully that suffices for a response to that question.
Well on to the next part which is to actually try and answer the question in the post. Honestly I would have to take a similar route as the person tagging me and change the title. I will answer the question as if it were asked "My Perfect Life Partner."
The qualities and traits that she would posses are listed below:
Loving and Kind: She will have a heart that never stops caring or giving love, like a mothers love. She will love me for the person I am and the person I am not. She wont try to re-create me into something I am not for her benefit or liking.
Educated: This is extremely important to me because it sets the foundations for the next two traits that she would have.
Strong Minded: She will have her own views of life and isn't one to always accept the norm. She isn't afraid to question things that she feels aren't right nor will she be afraid to be wrong.
Goal/ Career Oriented: She has established career goals and life goals. She would be one who strives for a goal and doesn't waver.
Friendly: Not only would I hope that she is loved by my friends and family but I would also hope that she would be able to make friends in a group in which she doesn't know anyone.
Diverse: I enjoy traveling and experiencing different things in life such as food and culture. My perfect life partner would share the same feeling but also show and teach me things I have never done or tried before.
Active: I am somewhat active but not as much as in the past. I love doing things outdoors such as camping in Joshua Tree, jet skiing in summer or skiing in winter. She doesn't have to enjoy all the same things I do but as long as she made an attempt at some outdoor activities that would be enough to make me happy.
Well ladies and gentleman that about sums it up for me in summarizing my perfect life partner. Obviously there are more but I can't foresee myself listing all the qualities. I hope that you enjoyed reading this blog. Feel free to comment.
