East Side

Congratulations to myself on this first post from New York. I moved out here at the end of the summer to pursue something. What that is, I'm not sure, but it's the right place for me to be. I am in upstate and wonder why anyone would want to live anywhere else. Of course, I have not yet experienced one of the legendary winters. Regardless, I'm looking forward to what is in store. Onward!

I recently saw a billboard that was really annoying. It was some amazing depiction of cool superimposed by the words, "Always Worth It." For those not familiar, this seems to be current tagline for Bud Light beer. After about two minutes of research I found a few thousand instances when maybe it wasn't worth it. And who knows how many thousands more have stories of alcohol ruining homes, opportunities, and lives.

Anyway, I'll step off the soapbox. Just wanted to get that out...
