Greetings Gotham Guerrilla and congratulations to president Barack Obama for ringing in the new year. My respect and gratitude goes out to all those who are responsible for this change. Although these are incredibly exciting times, I can not help but feel the clouds are only parting briefly just before the storm rolls in. What’s that great Harvey Dent quote from Batman? “The night is darkest before the dawn of the day”.

I did not drink the Obama koolade, I don’t think things will get better for out country overnight or over the next few years. As we slip deeper into the recession, I notice more and more of my friends and family are loosing jobs, loosing homes, some have even decided to leave NYC and return to greener pastures. We will miss you.

I do not want to give up on New York City yet, I refuse to. NYC will kick you down if only to teach you a lesson but the important thing is to get back up, I must keep reminding myself of this. Its a make it or break it kind of town and I admit I have been a little too close to my breaking point for comfort…but then again these are not exaclty times of comfort. Most of of my NYC clients are low budget indies, commerical work, and documentaries which all of the above have major cut backs and or get axed all together, not exactly recession proof….maybe I should take up bartending? What about LA…Hollywood or bust? Must make a decision. More to come.
