Changing the Game. Or Something.

Hello people.

First, let me state the obvious. I want to be cool, too.

Over the last 2-3 years, hipsters across America have actively chronicled their lives online. These web logs, or blogs, as they're called, have risen in popularity. Unless you're over 30 (or, as I recently found, one of my colleagues at work) you've heard of a blog. In fact, even old school, brick and mortar companies have taken to "blogging". Take CNN, for example.

Second, I have just moved. Not to the East Village, or even to Westchester. I've moved to London. Essentially, as I began to move up the corporate ladder I decided that New York City just wasn't expensive enough for me. People didn't drink enough, and the weather was too nice. Enter London.

Although I've only been here a few days, I have already had a number of comedic experiences. I've attempted to cache these in the back of my head for the day, but by the time I get home from work they're lost forever (actually, things typically unravel when I head to a pub after work, but that's neither here nor there).

Because of this, I'm "launching" a blog of my own. City Hangover. Hopefully this will give me the chance to share some of my more noteworthy experiences in my new hood, and ruminate a bit on life in my old one. And if anyone winds up reading it, even better.

Let's get started. Eat it, hipsters!
