newness.

lots of new lately. new york, new apartment, new roommates, new job, new office, new sights, new sounds, new..err...umm relationship status.

Because of course, only I, Nicole Katrina Cunningham, move to New York City and meet a Cuban/Italian Aries that lives in Miami but hey, such is life.

So yea, lots of new lately. I mean, I love it. No complaints. I think its good to switch things up every now and then; never get too accustomed to one setting or another because you'll never grow as an individual. Several people from Miami have been telling me lately that they too would like to move over to NY at some point so I say Just DO IT. Just GO. a Nike/Visa commercial all at once. Why not? If you love it, great. If you hate it here, oh well, you move home. But whats the worst that can happen? Life is too short to have regrets and if at the age of 46 your thinking 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' Then, you have a problem.

Even if things do go a lil astray, its always a learning experience. I mean I came from a job in which I would come and go as a I please, I would lay on my desk and talk on the phone and definitely go on Facebook more than on Lotus notes. Here? I text under my desk, I dont even dare go on the phone unless im on a lunch break which I keep to strictly ONE hour and I sure as hell wouldnt even dare go on facebook on the job. but its a good thing. We all need boundaries and to be brought down to earth every once in awhile. Whats a snotty lil 24 year old doing thinking she can get away with anything when there are people that work day and night to earn minimum wage? So thats basically how I look at everything. Especially when someones being pouty.

Dont pout. Just dont. Its not becoming of you. If some of the people I see on a daily basis arent pouting, you sure as hell shouldnt be pouting either. Pout if you have cancer, no job, or some health issue you have no control over. Even if you do though, dont pout. Life is pretty awesome. We have a sun, a moon, clouds that make cool shapes, trees, funny people, water, and sometimes even a fountain diet coke. If you can make the best of those simple ingredients, you are the luckiest person to have ever lived. If you cant, then please just learn how to.

This blog has no structure. I remember when I first started writing and had thought-out sentences but I just dont seem to be able to do that lately.

Speaking of the weekend (just kidding, we werent speaking of the weekend, we were speaking of my ADD), my sister Trista came to town. Jimmy and I met her, her husband, and some friends for dinner. What type of conversation was brought up at dinner?

"So when did you guys become official?"

"How great is it to fall in love in NYC?!"

"What do you love most about Nicole?"

"When are you two coming out to California to visit?"

Who does that to someone?! What would have happened if Jimmy and I werent that comfortable with eachother and then she asked 'when did you guys become official'? Im pretty sure that goes in the rule book under questions NOT to ask when first meeting someone. lol..oh Trista, gotta love u!!! (ps. go to her website http://www.tristalerit.com. Shes basically phenomenal, and im not just saying that cause shes a Cunningham. Oh another thing, she asked if she could do a photoshoot of us?! haha. 'how to lose a guy in 10 days', literally.

Other cool things that happened this weekend:

- I joined the rest of humanity and finally saw 'The Hangover'. Two thumbs up. I will NOT, however, quote them on any facebook statuses.

- I saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time ever. FROM 3543 MILES AWAY. But I saw it nonetheless. This was in passing though, like we were running late to the movies, I looked to the right, saw it, took a pic, and that was that. I am still owed a statue of liberty visit.

- I was given an in depth tour of the Downtown Cipriani's Residences. I will live there. Fact. Manicures, french toast, and wine cellars at your disposal 24/7? sign me up.

- I think I ate a lil bit of everything this world has to offer us. thats a simple statement. no need to elaborate

...so yea, I plan on bringing the consumption of calories down from 6,000 to 2,000 from now till..uhh.. Thursday. Going to Miami on Thursday. Alex #2 roll, I'm coming for you.


pss. one more random statement. I hope whoever reads this blog lets the music load before reading. if my blog is my movie, music is my movie's soundtrack. please do me the justice. thanks.
