Concrete Jungle

Yeah, I know, I know. So I'm a half-yearly blogger. Who cares? It's not my fault I've got such a short memory/attention span that I constantly forget to blog or that I even have a blog. I always wondered and still do if I will ever get used to doing this. One year down the track, and uhh.. I don't think so. But just like an artist, you can't rush or force yourself to create, you have to wait till the feeling and the vibe is there. And baby, the vibe is back!

Anyway, lets get down to business. So in a bid to keep sane in this crazy place we live in called, "Melburn". I've worked out little goals for myself. People say to look at the big picture, and that's exactly what I'm doing. Travelling has always been a great love of mine and it's not until recently (the last few months) that I've been incredibly motivated to actually do it and 'out this bitch' *AHEM*


So, big picture is: NEW YORK.

America itself has always been the last place I wanted to visit. It never really appealed to me when I was younger until the last 2 years. But even then, I wasn't overly eager to go to the U.S of A and I still can't pin-point what it is that's pushing me to go so badly. Maybe it was Jay-Z and Alicia Keys that inspired me to go. That song and her voice does make you just want to pack your bags, get on a plane, get the next flight to New York and belt that song at the top of your lungs in the middle of Time Square. Maybe I will. No. Actually, YES I will. But of course, in due time. Baby steps Tara, baby steps.

After months and months of thinking about this - which by the way, is not normal for me as I'm possibly one of the most impulsive living creatures on Earth; I've come to the conclusion that once I am legal in the eyes of America, I'll be packing my bags and moving there.

Something about that place, the look of it, stories I've heard about it, the vibe of it (from the movies that I've seen for those are the only sources I can base that theory on), just sparks something within me and I don't know what it is. There's something rollercoaster crazy about it and I want in.

Anythings better than staying in the one place. There's an entire world to be discovered, a lot to be gained and nothing to lose. So why the fuck not eh?


C'mon. As if the place isn't enticing.
