So this was taken by Jacqui a year ago tomorrow, on the first weekend I hung out with Jordan. We met up in New York and within a few hours, decided we should live together. Like all great ideas, this was cobbled together over the course of several rounds of cocktails and while standing outside in ankle-deep slush, chain smoking cigarettes and throwing snowballs at bar signs.
We (and others) make frequent jokes about how either one of us can usually be found within 5 feet of the other, but without Jordan (and my brother, and my mom - both of whom I love more than I ever can/will express), I wouldn’t be here at all. This has been an incredible, constantly mind-boggling few months. It’s a little tough right now being “underemployed” and whatnot, but it’s just a roadbump. Moving here was, without a doubt, the best thing I’ve ever done. I decided that this is where I want to be one year ago tonight, and I know, without a doubt, that it’s where I want to be a year from tonight.
So thank you (and cheers) to my family, my friends, and my roommate. Despite his love for Trick Daddy and the Miami Marlins, he’s a pretty okay guy. Happy Saturday, everyone.
Love you, buddy. Mean it. The past few months have been the best I’ve had in New York, without a doubt. We’re both still relatively new here, and yet we’ve accomplished a ton in a short period of time. I can’t wait to see what the next year, let alone the next decade, holds. I’m glad things have worked out the way they did. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Enough sentimentality… it’s time for my amazing roommate and I to go embrace the randomness again. Deuces.
