Terry McAuliffe for Governor

The first weekend of November, I booked a megabus from NYC to DC. Then I hopped on a train from Union Station, through Williamsburg, and all the way to Newport News, Virginia. I broke away from the city for a fews days to help good ole Amy Littleton with her last leg on the Terry McAuliffe campaign for governor. 

There were LEAVES OF COLOR on TREES. (I hadn't gotten out of the city in a while) 

And the train ride was beautiful to meet the crew. 

Here's the crew. 

Realllllly some talent here. Amy knows how to find phenomenal friends 

and this weekend was full of them. 

These PEOPLE. So smart and dedicated and full of life I can't. 

But it was time to get to work. Amy's job for election weekend was to organize a huge group of college kids from Columbia that came down to volunteer for the last leg of the race. 

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz stopped by our staging location to surprise the students. Got a good pic of you here Debbie. 

Words of motivation, etc. 

"Fave congresswoman ever!"

Before we knew it, it was 5am election morning. 

5am cannot happen without Bojangles. 

Amy got the team motivated. 

And we were off. 

Terry for the gold. Thanks Amy for your hard work. 

Fun weekend on the trail. God bless the Dems.

Song's of the week. 

You.

One of the greatest things about living in New York 

is that you can be with yourself wheneeeeever you want.

You can (always) run and hide and be with ONLY YOU for a while.

I mean sure, you will still be surrounded by thousands of people a day, but thats just physically. 

It is very refreshing to be able to "do you" as much as you could possibly want to. 

Freedom to THINK for a little while. Just you and your brain.

 (I think we spend wayyyy too much time during the day, and our lives, listening to other people's bs and problems that have nothing to do with us...can I get an amen?)

 To add to my current "do-ing me" phenomena, I have the extra advantage of just moving to a new city. Here, I am an outsider for a little while, observing how things work, and still seeing the big details.

  The greatest thing something new has to offer.

 And to be in New York...of all places to explore.

New York is the prime metaphor of America. People act fucking crazy because all Americans are fucking crazy. (I mean we've been the rebels since day one...always doing "our thing") 

 Freedom breeds some crazy.

 Throw in all of the Americans that run away from the backwoods craziness to be their own, personal crazy...and you've got yourself New York. You want crazy? We've got your crazy.

All this being said, New York is the place to explore.

Just wanted a moment to chat. Back to my own world. I'll see you if I want to! New Yorrrrrrkkkkk.
