NoMad Blog is on the Move!

So I guess I’m trying to break into the Guinness Book of World Records with the “Most Places Lived in a Five-Year Period.” Let’s see: since 2006, there’s been Brookline, Washington, DC, Highland Falls, Center Moriches, Jamesport, Highland Falls (again) and Boston. But if I stayed anywhere for any significant amount of time, then I wouldn’t be a true nomad, right? Right. And with that said, as of August 29, I will be taking my talents to New York City.

For those of you who care about my actual real life (which I know is not many, but bare with us), I’ll be working for the same company, in the same capacity, just in a different location. And I’ll be living with mom and dad for a while, so while we may be losing classic content like “Scenes from the Green Line,” I’m sure Jeanie and Den will be good for a few Shit My Dad Says moments (not to mention the people on the NYC subway are way effing weirder than Angry Engaged Couple).

So The World’s Going to End on Saturday

As many of you have been anticipating for the past few months (years, decades, centuries), the world is set to expire on May 21.

So obviously I’m not buying into this bull-oney, but I was thinking about it on my way to work this morning, and I was wondering, if the world were going to end at some point in time, why not now? If we’re just going by recent events (and the things that I consider signs of the apocalypse, like Oprah ending her show, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver getting divorced), the world is pretty much braced for its demise at any moment now. Osama bin Laden is dead, it’s been raining everywhere for the past 137,000 days, and LeBron James is about to fulfill his Messiah-like prophecy of winning an NBA championship. I ask you, are these not signs???

Quote of the Day

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Ulysses, Alfred, Lord Tennyson
