My New York Anniversary

After two years in the awe-inspiring New York City I’m once again (I think I tried this at the 6 month and 1 year mark in New York) attempting to assess and evaluate my goals and personal purpose in New York, and in life.

I know my overall aspirations haven’t swayed much since I first boarded a plane in Miami Beach many moons ago, but I’m am alert to the fact that in the past year I’ve truly begun to get a deeper grasp on life. By life I mean… I’m going bald and I’m not as rich and successful as I planned to be. I’m also severely malnourished and haven’t bought a new pair of black shoes in 19 and a 1/2 months. New York really is the city of dreams… well, if your dream is to work at a job you can’t stand and pay overpriced rent in an apartment that you share with a lesbian and a family of cat size rats. Thankfully, that was my dream all along!

The question really is what do I want to be and what can/will I do to obtain it? At the moment these are all things I would like to do before I die.

• Screen writer
• Stand up comic
• FBI agent
• Playwright
• Dog trainer (I’d only train them to eat foreigners)
• Restaurant owner
• Olympic gold medalist
• Movie producer
• Pilot
• Home flipper
• Movie director
• Broadcast journalist
• Body builder
• MMA fighter
• Host of American Idol
• Host of The Tonight Show
• Owner of WalMart’s biggest competitor… PaulMart (I plan to change my name to Paul before the grand opening)
• Vampire (obviously this isn’t a profession… I would just like to be on for a day. I think it would be fun.)
• Actor
• Published author
• Pole dancer (it pays well)
• King (I don’t care of what country, as long as I get a crown)

Here’s to figuring out life during my third year in New York,
