Day 186- Merry Christmas!

Day 186

Merry Christmas! Happy Birthday Jesus! Nice seeing you Santa!

The last few years I’ve been working Christmas Day. This year is no different. Mainly because I don’t typically celebrate the “family” holidays. So I rather give others the opportunity the be with their families. No matter what you celebrate or even if you don’t celebrate anything, I truly believe this time of the year is a perfect time to reflect on the past and to get ready for a fresh start. In a way this is my last obligatory good deed. I like working in radio and I love being behind an audioboard. So why not spend Christmas Day in the studio? Don’t worry I’ll be spending some time with friends and familia later today. 

It’s been over half a year in the van. I’m still working on the website, but for the most part van life has been great. The weather has been awesome! It’s 70 degrees today!

I’ve been running around for my birthday and getting ready for the end of the year. Maybe I’ve been skimping on blog posts and podcasts too. More to come in the near future. Today I’d like to repost one of my podcasts that are more in season.I posted a podcast with Mike Drake- The Krampus Expert on October 9th (Original post/podcast is up for download HERE) It’s kind of a reminder that 1. I’m still here and 2. Some people celebrate this time of the year differently.

I wish everyone all the best and Happy Holidays!

Day 175- Birthday

Day 175!

Currently, I am sitting by the Starbucks in the Trump Tower @ 57th & Fifth. Once again I'm taking advantage of the free wifi. I'm spending the day walking around New York City without any plans. Maybe I'll go to a show, maybe I'll buy myself a fancy meal, maybe see the Nets.. tickets are around $5, or maybe I'll walk around with an empty cup begging for change. Either way I'm continuing my random birthday weekend. 

This morning I took the train in from New Jersey with my friend Tray. She bought me a birthday cup of coffee. On my way towards Central Park I walked past the Good Morning America set, I took pictures of Time Square like all good tourists do, I stood outside of the SiriusXM building and pretended they finally hired me and I swiped right on Tinder for a little. 

I usually don’t do much for my birthday but I figured this year, what the heck. I’ve been spending the last 175 days trying to figure out who I am and, I’ve been trying to experience new things. So I figured since I was at Disney on Friday and Atlantic City/Philly yesterday, it only makes sense to visit New York City today. 

If you have any suggestions of places to visit today send me a message on Twitter or Instagram @onlysandro. 

Thanks in advance for the birthday wishes.
