Bienvenidos, bienvenue, welkom, Willkommen, υποδοχή, benvenuto, 歓迎, 환영, boa vinda, добро пожаловать to my blog.
Here you'll be able to read all about the wonderful life of HAMILTON, what I get up to, comments and little quirky things that happen in life to all of us in a Sex and the City / Ugly Betty kind of way...

So here it goes...my first blog. I dont even know what this is or what I am suppose to write. But I will try to do a good job of it....

So where do I start? I guess on my arrival to the USA two months ago on the 9th of July. Thats a date I will never forget as it marked a new era in my life (am starting to sound too much like 'Gone with the wind here'). Anyway to cut the story short not that it has been long to start with: I moved from London to New York, I quit my job, said bye to friends and family and within a week I was here.

Why did I make such a drastic change I hear you ask? Well I wanted a change in my life, to feel that what I was doing was worth doing and that was benefitial in my life.
In the long run I want to be successful, maybe I didnt see it London, or maybe I did, but I liked the idea of scapeism. I don't think people thought I would actually go ahead with it when I told them "I'm moving to New York". "No you're not!".
It was a pretty big shoock when I told everyone that I was leaving within two weeks.
In my mind I knew what I was doing, but not what I was getting into. I wanted to leave my dead end job where I worked like a slave, mind you I mananged to save up some cash to pay for my trip over the pond.

So here I am, in the Big Apple trying to make it big in the Silver Screen, I'm no actor, but I do want to make good television and help improve peoples lives. The world has a lot to offer and people should be aware of that. And of course people should not be living meaningless lives, they should be doing something worthwhile.

So how is New York Compared to London? A lot more different, I happen to have moved out of my home at the same time. It wasn't like I moved out in the same city. I moved out and moved out of the country. It's pretty tough and I guess I'm taking a HUGE risk, its a big sacrifice and I hope its all worth it in the long run even if I dont see the effects right away.
I'm having a lot of fun here in Manhattan, I didnt have any friends when I arrived and so far I think I have done good by meeting several people that I have come to appreciate and I will be forever grateful for their atentiveness towards my stay in NYC.

Will I go back to London? I dont know what the future will bring, a lot of things have happened here in NYC that I did not anticipate, but I welcomed them with open arms.
So I really dont know what the future has in store for me, all I know is that I really want to stay in the city for as long as I can....
