Allow me to reintroduce myself…

I went to go see the Roots play with mos def and a couple other performers a few weeks ago at radio city music hall. It was a pretty relaxed show. Mos Def of course did a great job, but I think I have a pretty biased opinion of that. I had thought the roots would have done more of a solo performance that they did. They more or leass acted like hosts to this show which was cool. A ton of performers that I hadn’t heard of came out, a few I would honestly like to forget as well. Then half way though they brought out Dave Chappelle, it was hilarious. He had come out last time I had gone to see Mos Def at BB Kings about a year ago and just hung out on stage. This time he did like a 10-15 minute act. And when you though that was the highlight, the roots did what they seem to usually do (at least the few times I have seen them) where they do a medley of other radio songs and they covered lil’ Kim, kanye, Biggie, and the went into a cover of Jay-z. And wouldn’t you know it he comes out and goes right into the song. The show before this was pretty mellow like I had said before and when his happened everyone just lost it. I will admit to a having a good likeness to oh lets say a 14-year-old girl. It was amazing, so excited that I had an opportunity to see him perform. Even if it was only 2 songs.

Other than that I have just been piecing the apartment together. Heather moved out and literally took every last thing. I haven’t owned much up to this point but I suppose that I going to change. Took a trip to Ikea, which I am sure many more will follow just trying to get settled. But in a weird way its kind of thinking about what is going to happen in the next year to be pouring so much money into the apartment. I want to put in a ceiling fan for the summer but I have to think about what I want to put my money into at this point. I am just slightly playing out in my head what is going to happen in the next few years to figure out what I want to do. I am excited for the new roommate. I am seriously looking forward to having what seems like a really good personality around as well as having more of an opportunity to cook vegan. Who knows…. Right.

Some how I have been the world’s busiest person. I feel like I have no time to get extra things done. I was trying to set up going to dinner last week with someone I would really like to catch up with but I just got so side tracked with the apartment and heather moving out and painting that I pulled the one thing I hate when people do. It took me 3 days to return a phone call. I hate it when people do this to me now I am totally guilty.

Started thinking this morning about how socially I feel like I have really changed. I don’t believe it has much to do with a boyfriend or anything like that matter but the city makes it a bit difficult to keep up with circles if you are not in direct contact with (i.e. neighborhood, work, or friend that work with them). I have been missing stupid things like going to shows but its the same old same thing of growing out of your social out let at the sometime most of you friends do as well. I know if I go to certain shows I will see the people I guess I grew up around (more or less saw all the time, when you cover from Albany to buffalo in going to shows when you are able to travel for them and through college you meet a few people). I suppose in come convoluted way I am just bumming out on not seeing people and not really feeling like a part of a scene with friends. I was looking though some other online journal this morning and saw some pictures and just thought to myself, “yea remember when I saw so and so a little more often, that was always a good time. Ok enough is enough just missing some old social connections and some old friends, I have work that waiting for me to do it. Just rain and random thoughts
