I fulfilled one of my must dos on my Life To-Do List when we (Dan, our friend Christy and I) went to see Jay-Z in concert last night. It was an awesome concert. Jay-Z is probably one of my favorite recording artists (not sure how else to classify a person in a group that encompasses hip-hop, country, rock, pop, etc). Not only was Jay-Z awesome, but Beyonce made a special appearance where she showed off her huge diamond ring from her husband (aka Jay-Z). The concert was a blast! And definitely one I will never forget.
Here is a quote from Jay-Z at the concert last night. I thought it was so poetic...
"This is one of the most important elections of our lives. Rosa Parks sat so Martin [Luther King Jr.] could walk. Martin walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly."
About Us
- Sheri and Dan
- Well, I've avoided filling out this 'About Me' section for as long as I could and I still don't have much to say :-) But I did decide to change the title of this part to 'About Us' b/c lord knows Dan and I are in this together! The purpose of this blog is to try to document everything Dan and I are going through with adjusting to our move to New Jersey. I entertain myself with each blog entry, so I hope you enjoy it as well! I am going to try my best to keep it updated but if that goes anything like me keeping a diary, entries won't happen very often.
Been there, done that -- Restaurants we've visited in NYC
- 2/17 Peter Luger's - Talk about Porterhouse! That is the only steak they serve here. It was excellent! CASH ONLY though.
- 2/16 Blue Hill Restaurant - went with Dan's parents and their friend Irene who works for Blue Hill. Food was amazing! So fresh and wonderful!
- 1/26 - Dylan Prime - met up with a friend of Dan's from training and his girlfriend. All the food was excellent! Desserts included 'Pie'tinis and 'Cake'tinis which were alcoholic drinks that tasted like dessert - what more can one ask for...
- 12/15 Michael Jordan's Steakhouse in Grand Central Station - great atmosphere but I've had better steaks
Lessons on New Jersey
- 1) No trucks on the Garden State Parkway. Not that there was a problem, but I really don't think you are supposed to have huge trucks on it; probably b/c of the really low clearances on some of the underpasses. OOPS!
- 2) EZPASS is a MUST!!!
- 3) NEVER go to IKEA on a weekend!
- 4) People around here don't expect you to say excuse me, so it's alright if you just kind of push them out of the way. (Oh man, wait till I take this lesson back to Baltimore with me)
- 5) (actually this is a lesson on the whole area in general) Just act like you know where you are going and act like you own that piece of sidewalk you are on! Otherwise, people might try to run you down. I think I already knew this one, but being up there only emphasized its importance.
- 6) Don't be scared of not knowing where you are going. Odds are there are people around that are much more clueless than you.
- 7) Always have a train schedule handy so you can make it to the train on time!
- 8) Don't buy a car in NJ because they don't come with turn signals and the brake lights are faulty
- 9) When people are waiting for the train they tend to group together in certain areas - this means that the train doors are most likely to open where they are standing
- 10) While waiting for the 7:34am train, there is a train that comes through around 7:25. This train FLIES by and does not stop. Turn your back and get away from the track or you will be blown away.
- 11) My train that leaves Penn Station at 5:50pm almost always departs from Gate 3 or 4. Its amazing and its pretty funny to see everyone gathered around that gate waiting for the same train every single work day.

So not only was I unable to join you all for the concert because of school but when I got home the power was out. Awesome! Best Night Ever!!!!
I'm glad that the concert was great but please refrain from ever mentioning it around me. I'm not bitter or anything!
