History Repeats Itself

It's been one year since I left Suburbia in Northern California and finally moved back to NYC. I've realized even though I moved back to my "old place" it can still feel like a "new place" with similar hopes, dreams and anxieties that I had before. 



As nyc2suburbia: I moved to Suburbia and was hopeful. I wanted a change, new beginnings, new friends and family. I'm generally an optimist, but I was disappointed. I didn't like the change and I expected too much from everything and everyone.

As nyc2vin: I moved back to NYC and was confident. I wanted familiarity, but nothing stays the same... everything changes. I learned the hard way that friends move, friends die and family changes. Again I expected too much from everything and everyone, but most of all from myself.



Well I'm back where I wanted to be. It's not my ideal neighborhood but I made it back - and that's a big deal! On this one year anniversary of moving back, it's the perfect time to celebrate new beginnings as history repeats itself..."and that's nyc2vin".

Fail to Plan ~ The Subway Series

If you ask people how they feel about the MTA or riding on the subways you'll hear a million different answers. 

I love public transportation in NYC. That's one of the reasons I moved back from Suburbia where I had to drive to mail a letter or drive to throw out my garbage (not really, but going for the drama here.)



There are many variables about when and where you take the subway that can form your opinion. In the worse case scenario I choose to sit back and observe. I listen and watch what's going on... it can be fascinating.

Last week a man was walking through the subway car repeatedly saying "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail..." this was his mantra as he continued to go onto the next subway car. (BTW this was just an ordinary guy).

Wow, that's pretty heavy stuff going on while riding the subway. I took out my cell phone and started to make a few notes. After all, I gotta make a plan, I don't wanna fail... "and that's nyc2vin".
