Setting the Record Straight

I have been clearly lying to you. This blog is not about things going on below 14th street, this blog is about me. About things that happen to me, about things I think and things I care about.

This blog started out as an assignment for my journalism class. It was a requirement to have some sort of theme tying the posts together. I thought reporting about downtown Manhattan would be a good idea. After all, if there´s anywhere in the world that you can find a good story it´s below 14th street. And considering my readers are mostly my friends (you better be reading this) I figured downtown provides stories that suffice all of YOUR interests. How thoughtful of me.

But class is over and the truth is that I do not want to stop blogging. But also I find that focusing only on one area limits my options. So I have decided that, although I´m keeping the same name, the stories are going to by about anything.

Most of the posts will still focus in this area of Manhattan because…well, because I live here. And because downtown Manhattan is inspiring. But if you see other themes don´t be surprised.

To start this new blogging phase I thought I would link you to another blog I have written for this semester--- http://www.idontlikemondays.us/blog.html. The blog is part of an online fashion boutique that carries new designers and has AWESOME clothes. Most of the posts are about alternative cultural events. It´s different and I think it´s cool. You should seriously check it out.

Hm, weird post.

  2. I am moving to nolita in a few weeks so yours was the first blog that I read. The last time I played bingo I won a bottle of rum, so it has been a favorite of mine every since. Thank you for a great idea of what to do on my first Monday night in my new neighborhood!
