And you’re looking it at.

This very site has gone through many different looks throughout the years, since I started blogging back in 2000.

What you see here is the design I am most proud of, not only because it is the most awesome one yet, but also because I was finally able to incorporate some of my favorite memories in photographic form.

A lot of important things in my life have changed in the past 2 years or so and more are on the way. I’m happy to bring them to you via this updated design.

Of course what brings you here (besides Google searches for “Conan O’Brien guests“, “definition of cynicism“, and “Citi Field ribs“) is my witty retelling of real life stories through the eyes of a New Yorker. And no worries, all of that is still here too and will continue to be.

If you have any suggestions about things I should write about in the future, or if you’d like to collaborate between blogs, drop me a line in the comments and let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

Until then, thanks for stopping by, from a New Yorker who doesn’t know when to quit!

They are brothers with very different personalities, but both of them are very intelligent and cute doggies, look:

Oh, I also love my cat, Cali, too!

So without further ado, and in no particular order, I present ten things that make me happy:

1) Baseball – Namely my New York Mets, who have me on the Mets Rollercoaster this season.

2) Having time to myself, including a little bit of silence. Doesn’t happen that often these days…

3) Turtles – Including my several pet turtles, just awesome creatures all around.

4) Discovering new music and listening to my old favorites. Paramore and Dave Matthews Band, thank you.

5) Taking photographs – I always enjoy capturing what I see and sharing it.

6) Twitter (@citycynic) – Meeting new people and tweeting along with my fellow Mets fans!

7) [CENSORED]

8) Dinosaurs. (Nothing more to say)

9) Late Night Comedy – Yes Team Conan, nooo Jay Leno!

10) Her – She’s my everything.

What are some of the things that make you happy?

Happiness is…

...a first photo together.

...a blue sky and the promise of a good day.

...playing around in the backyard with your dogs.

...watching someone doing something they enjoy.

...watching your whole family having fun together.

...the perfect sunset.

...a Mets game with Cow-bell Man!

...a perfect kiss.

Happiness comes in many forms… I’m just lucky I get to capture some of it in my photographs.
