Sorry I haven't bloggerd in a few days. I did a bit more job hunting today, and I think I'm getting closer to landing one. I had a long talk with my buddy Jeff Pack about job searches and life in one of the big two markets (he moved to Los Angeles back in January, and he's diving into the restaurant biz for the first time. He'll do great, because he's one of the most focused people I know). Anyway, good talk, and for any of you thinking about making the move to either New York of Los Angeles, remember why you're moving. Obviously the place and the job are important (the simile Pack used was it's like a soldier going into Afghanistan and just shooting ramdomly. Our soldiers don't do that, they set up a base first, which is the stage Pack and I are both in). Anyway, things are moving along nicely, and I'm staying busy.
I've been hitting Times Square a lot lately, since it's pretty busy down that way. It's quite a sight, and I promise to have pictures up soon. Times Square is pretty funny, in that there are all these souvenier shops, a couple of movie theaters, and a bunch of restaurants. From a restaurant stand point, what makes Times Square so unique is that most of the restaurants in Times Square are ones you can find a stones throw from your home. For instance, there's a Friday's, Applebee's, Olvie Garden, and a Sbarro all right there. Now don't get me wrong, you've got some really nice, trendy places (where I've been applying), and then the aforementioned (where I have not been applying). The best part is, you can go to any of these restaurants anywhere in America, but in Times Square you're going to pay twice as much as you would anywhere else for something not very good. They could seriously use a Target or a Wal-Mart down there. My brother made a great poing about Wal-Mart; you can't say "I'm going into Wal-Mart right quick." That's at least a 30 minute journey, between browsing for things you don't need and waiting in line behind about 10 people. It would fit right in in Times Square.
OK, pretty tame past few days. I do need to go down to Trenton, NJ for my official state birth certificate sometime this week (to updated my license for "proof of birth," also, I want to get a passport soon for cruise 2k8). More to come later!

Shyy-shh! How blessed is this guy?! In two weeks he gets an apartment and a job. Wow! Now that's impressive.
Who is this guy? I mean who does he think he is? He just walks onto the New York scene and now he's trying to take over. Alright everybody, just calm down alright. There's nothing to see here. Alright so maybe there is, but just take it easy ok. Sheesh!
Actually you can get a certified copy of your birth certificate online. Just do a Google search for birth certificates. That's how I got one when I thought I had lost mine.
