"...If Nothing's Ventured, Nothing's Gained...So I Must Seize the Day..."

So....after a lovely visit with my Grandma and Aunts on Long Island....my brother managed to get me lost driving home....soooo, I drove through NYC for the first time! (Haha, and all 5 boroughs)
It sucked I needed to get up early to work, but the drive was amazing! Exiting the Mid-town Tunnel on 34th Street was such a trip to see! Being able to see Times Square and the Empire State and Chrysler Building from the freeway is even cooler.
Driving through NYC is such an awesome experience...I've always wanted to do it, and I really never thought I'd have the opportunity since I moved. Last night kinda helped give me a little NY closure. Not to mention get over fears, driving in Mid-town being one of them.
On another note, I'm the last STAR on my shift, which is nice. This trip is exactly the opposite of Tennessee, I'm so free to be alone. Granted, I had an absolute blast in Tennessee....but I'm loving having my own car.....having quiet in the hotel...and not really having to answer to anyone. I'm squeezing in time with my family and old friends, yet, i'm not obligated to anyone. Its nice. Very nice. I kinda miss having Clint around all the time, but the solitude is appreciated.
