Hi

So I completely forgot to update this for the last 10 days, I have been having way too much fun. New York City is the titsssssssssssssss! I love it here. I am living in a 3 bedroom in the East Village with 3 college girls, yeah I don't know how I scored that either!? The EV is amazing, tons of great restaurants, bars, parks, and whatever else you could want. Perfect transition from Austin to NYC for me, lot's of happening places without too much pretentiousness or douchebaggery. Tonight I am going out with 5 friends from UT, 1 girl I met at summer camp in 9th grade and 3 of her friends, 2 guys I met in Rome last summer, and other random people I have met in the last week. How awesome is that?

I guess I will list the things I've done so far because I am short on time:
Nathan's hot dog at Coney Island on Memorial Day
Central Park (2x)
Ate at a restaurant that only sells french fries and 30 different types of dipping sauces
Went to McSorleys, an Irish bar that opened in 1854 and sells two types of beer, light and dark
Ate at a Tibetan restaurant
Volunteered with Habitat for Humanity
Met about 14 Texas Exes
Walked across the Brooklyn bridge and ate at Grimaldi's Pizzeria
Cookout in Williamsburg looking over the entire city
Landed some job interviews
Used the subway about 75 times
checked out 15 different apartments
Got invited to a weekend in the Hamptons
Avoided New Jersey
Shopped at Trader Joe's (10 blocks from my apartment!)
Played Battleship over a few beers in Brooklyn
Watched a crazy guy get arrested next to me in a coffee shop
"Networked"

So my sister's are all in Europe having the time of their lives, and my brother is training at an Air Force base in San Francisco, in a couple of years there may be a Clift on 5 of 7 continents. That would be awesome.

Natalie just got a job in DC/NYC over the summer and will be in town in 13 days.
I love my life.

I'm sooo excited...

I'm sooooooooo excited,

I'M SO SCARED!

Yes, the rumors are true. I am moving to New York City (Brooklyn to be exact).

I am currently sitting in the Charlotte airport waiting to head to LaGuardia and enjoy my first day as a denizen of NYC. My flight was overbooked so I volunteered to wait two more hours in exchange for a round trip ticket anywhere in the lower 48. After spending 49 hours consecutively from Arequipa, Peru to Mendoza, Argentina, this seems like Heaven. The Charolette airport has more food booths than the state fair during TX/OU and I am cruising the internet on some free public wifi. I am taking suggestions on places/activities to use my free plane ticket. Chicago and San Fran seem to be in the lead currently.

Craigslist has produced some solid roommate leads and I am going to be touring a lot of apartments in Williamsburg this week. Williamsburg is the first stop over from Manhattan, and has a lot of young people and great music/bar scene. I think it will be a perfect area for me. About 5 of my top 10 favorite bands got their start here or call this area home. Some of the bands include: The National, The Hold Steady, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, Ratatat, The Rapture, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Please for the love of Vince Young buy Boxer and Alligator by The National. This band is as good as it gets.
