One of the funniest things about life is that whether its tomorrow, today or yesterday -- you always end up where everything [that you've ever known about yourself] began in the first place. I stepped out tonight, had drinks... let loose... the whole nine at a nice spiffy "hole in the wall" just some 200+ feet from where I went to middle school. This is on top of the fact that I've been home in New Jersey for the last month. Everything that was "me" four/five years ago is back in full effect. My lifestyle, my routine and inner circle have come back tenfold. That watered down version of me is officially no longer. =)
As for the pursuit... it continues. Currently, I'm up for a Project Manager job with the City of Philadelphia. Just over a month ago, I had a first and preliminary interview with the Philly's Redevelopment Authority over the phone. I did well enough to land a second in-person interview with the Authority. At almost three weeks later -- I've been fortunate enough to make the cut and land a third and final interview with some top City directors and executives. In my mind, I'm grateful... but my heart's definitely like "I can't take no more" of this deliberation sh!t.
Whatever the case, the irony of [my] life is that in the end... I just might end up in the place in that made me... New Jersey, the northeast -- Philly included. No one knows you better than the people that you came up with. Undeniably, North Jersey made me the dude that I am today -- but even rugged-ole Philadelphia has a nice meaty chapter in my life (my boys attest to that). So if that's where I'm supposed to be, I can dig it.
I just might be making my way home, after all....?
