npgraphicdesign 3 #1 August 21, 2011 Apartment - Check. Still needs to be cleaned, reorganized, etc...I got the keys. And my poor roommate has no idea what she is in for. Job - sort of check. Been freelancing in-house and it's pretty much on-going until they either hire myself and another designer full-time (probably won't happen since they're very Scrooge-y about full time creative positions), until I decide to leave for another opportunity or until they kick me out. Either way, it's on-going right now, and while it's not the most glamorous work, I'm happy to have it. Stability - last three months I've been living on a relative's couch, commuting 2+ hours each day. Hopefully the two factors above will help with the stability. So, who is coming for a visit? I'm about 78 miles from The Ranch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #2 August 21, 2011 Lucky god! I would kill to live in NYC, Sadly I'm "stuck" in NJ! It's a gorgeous city and if you are a guy with a pulse and aren't one of those "hipsters" you will do well with the ladies.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah sorry man I did some dumb things when I was younger...not BASE jumping naked into a field of cactus but about the same results. Got married young, bought the girl a condo....now am stuck with a condo that is under water and am single and like a fat chick with a bad crush i just can't get away from it. I'm telling you, a single guy who can hold a good conversation and isn't in 1) a business suit or 2) Dresses as if he's the long very lost member of the Frat Pack can do VERY well in NYC. As for the ladies......aaaahhh....huuummm.....yeah....good luck with that one!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

npgraphicdesign 3 #7 August 22, 2011 I ended up in the Bronx, 238th street. A nice area actually...definitely distilled all my assumptions about Bronx. Wish I could join ya this weekend...but I just made one trip this weekend and didn't have room for my rig, believe it or not. Going back to ct this weekend to pick it up, as well as my car. Hows that knee? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
