So like me.

So I was really excited to blog across country with the pictures I took but of course my camera cord is lost somewhere in the car. This is typical behavior of mine. I am currently in Los Angeles. Mary and I made it across the country with barely any troubles. We have traveled through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Arizona and Cali. If has been a beautiful journey to see the differences in every state. I will post pictures and stories once we have arrived in Seattle.

Midwest stop.

I have departed for Seattle. I am currently in Chesterton, Indiana. Nothing too exciting has happened to Mary and I yet. I ate an entire box of Cheez-Its which was pretty impressive. The box now has its own seat in the car. Tomorrow we leave for Denver, Colorado which will be a 17 hour drive. Our longest haul of them all.

KE$HA

I acquired free tickets to see Ke$ha. I went last night and the show was one of the best concerts I have seen in awhile. Ke$ha has been my guilty pleasure since she came out with "Tik Tok." People would ask me if I really do like her and I am proud to say YES. Her songs are relateable to any 20-something girl today and are ridiculously catchy. I love her grunge, glitter, rocker look. Everyone in her show is covered in glitter and is styled in the same look. Since I last saw her on SNL she has fully stepped up her showmanship. Claps to Ke$ha.

Farewell Northeast America.

Oh hey. I have gone on a one month no-writing hiatus. Probably because I have been running around for the past month working, driving to and from NJ and getting ready for my big move: SEATTLE. In 4 days I will depart with my best friend to take the drive to our new apartment and life in Seattle. If I had not explained previously how much I hate living in upstate NY I think you can understand now considering I am moving to the farthest city within America from where I am currently living. I am so excited to move. Although I wish I could pay someone to pack for me. I think this is the perfect time to do it.

I have no strings around me. I am ready to meet new people and start a new life AWAY from the Northeast. Don't get me wrong, New York City is amazing. I have been going once a week for the past month and I have eaten some delicious food, had my share(and maybe others too) of great drinks and found some new favorite spots like The High Line(http://www.thehighline.org/). There are other great spots too which I have spent time in during the past month. Last weekend my Rutgers friends and I had our last big party in Atlantic City. I am not much of a gambler but let me tell you, I LOVE AC. It is like a mini-vegas on a beach. Both times I have gone I have literally spent 20 dollars on only my hotel and barely 10 dollars on drinks and still had a baller time. I fully encourage anyone on the east coast to take advantage of AC...but be careful gambling! Although I stayed away from the tables many of my friends lost big money!

As much fun as I have had, I still cannot wait to move out west. I will be blogging my whole way across America about all of my adventures with Mary and about our experiences in our new city!

So happy.

High School Reunion

Being in Newburgh is reuniting me with everyone from high school. This is the town that keeps getting smaller. Every time I go out of my house I see the same people out no matter what bar I go to. I even see people that I have not seen in at least 3 to 4 years and THEN I am forced to have the "what are you doing now" conversation which is sometimes interesting but sometimes the conversation you want to run away from. This is another reason why I want to get out of here. I need new faces!! I do like going to this steakhouse which has now reinvented itself as "The Beach." Although surrounded by woods, they have completely renovated their backyard area into a beach like area with actual sand, a Tiki bar and a stage for a band. It is a good change of pace but I still see the same faces. I only have 6 more weeks here...hoping something new and fun will pop up to do.

Favorite spot of the week!

When I went to NYC last week I decided I wanted to find a baller happy hour spot. I did my research. I went on Yelp and ChowHound, my 2 favorite websites which tell me where to go and where to eat. I stumbled on a place by South Street Seaport called Meades. It had small tables outside, overlooked the Brooklyn Bridge and most important of all, had cheap drinks. My friend and I ordered $4.00 well drinks and a huge delicious bowl of Guacamole and chips. The drinks were strong and were great for their price. The weather was perfect for sitting at small cafe tables along the cobblestone streets of the South Street Seaport neighborhood. We had a great day overall but that place was definitely the highlight. I even read they have $12 all you can drink Sangria and Mimosa's during their weekend brunches. I will definitely be making a trip down soon to try them!
