Prologue, part 1

This is how it begins...

With me lying in my bed; face glued to my lap top in a room filled with packed card board boxes.

IT's 2:41 in the morning. on January 1st, 2014. i have returned home from a new years party with a hand full of friends from college and now have no one to say goodbye to. just my cat and this not so well insulated "guest house" I've been living in.Frankly I'm freezing my ass off right now. The little space heater I've been using for the last year is NOW dying.  So I'm writing this too you in a cocoon of blankets.

I'm writing this because in three days I will be moving to New York City, to start a career in film and television production.  I started this blog because i thought it would help me cope with the big move and the idea of being set out into the world for the first time. I don't honestly expect many to people to follow this thing. If yo do Im grateful. This blog will mostly be a documentation of my life and experiences in the city for the first time. I'm sure as time goes on my entries wont be as droll as this one is. but I hope you will stick with me.

I suppose I should give you a little introduction. My name is Mike. I was born in 1989, within the city limits of a little New Jersey town called Vineland. Our chief export is produce, the word "moron" was coined here, and our founder was the first man to ever plead insanity for murder.  I myself am proud to live in this town at least my little section of town which you will hear a lot about as time goes on; this town is where my family and friends are and that's what makes this move even harder.

I'm a graduate of theater, communication, and RTF ( Radio, Television, & Film) my roommates consist of two of my very best friends and my girlfriend all of which you will also get to know as time goes on.

This is where the count down begins for me I hope you all enjoy this and find something interesting in what I'm about to do in the next year. I suppose the only thing left to do is publish this thing and get started.

  1. Hi Mike! What a great first post to your blog. I'm originally from New York and if you are so inclined, stop by the tenement I grew up in until we moved to Vineland when I was almost five; 403 West 48th St, NY, NY take a picture of yourself on the front stoop and picture me as a toddler riding my tricycle down the sidewalk... the city would someetimes open the fire hydrants when it was really hot and close the street off so we could play in the water... I'd like to visit during the Spring so stay in touch and we'll make it happen! Miss you all... Send my regards to everyone!
