Facillitator of That Go Life

The frequency of these posts have decreased significantly. It has truly been tough to keep updating this blog on a regular pace with work and life. All I can say is that I'm glad I took the GMATs near the end of September, because with the way life and work is going there would have been no way for me to find time to study.

This media industry life is a fast paced experience. Never working a 9-5, being able to work with everybody in the company. The competitive nature of building together presentations for pitches. And talking about it and drinking it until Kingdom Come with your coworkers. It is a very interesting dynamic in that my team, my office, my coworkers are all people that I genuinely and wholeheartedly enjoy being with.

Excited that my San Francisco giants won the World Series, anxious to see how my Sharks will do this season with some team roster changes, wondering how the English Premier League is going to turn out.

Meeting new friends, seeing old friends, losing touch with best friends. Drinking with coworkers, brunching with study abroaders, catching up with fraternity brothers.

Loving the leaves change color, hating the winds gusting harder, excited for the holiday season approaching faster.

Hating how this city is starting to lose it's novelty, hating that I have become just another person in the city working his life never realizing that he's in the capital of the world. Losing all excitement, losing all wonder that he works with builders that tower over his head. Then going out with friends, downing shots the bartender sends, eating food in the morning hours, waking up to beautiful scenes of the fall time sun beams. Sitting by the pitch on top of a pier playing soccer on the roof with the skyline to the south. Wondering where else could you ever find a place where the ambiance could ever match the place you're playing soccer right now.

Loving the city can't believe I live here, but realizing I've been here for nearly a quarter of my life. One day when I leave and pack up my things I will finally realize the city's grasp on me.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday wherever you are. Will try to get some posts in before the new year.


Love, peace, chicken grease.
