How I Met Your Mother

We have been binge watching How I Met Your Mother in our apartment because the series finale is upon us. Sometimes it is the nicest part of my day- and that's not as sad as it sounds. 

Tonight, after a day of work, great chats and tracking down a fresh Banksy piece we sat down with the latest episode while dinner cooked- I told you it wasn't so sad- and I realized that while I LOVED the show Friends when I was growing up; How I Met Your Mother is really the 'friends sharing life and apartments in NYC show' of my generation and I love it even more for that realization. 

Who wants to re-make the opening credits with me? 

HONY! aka Humans of New York.

This is Brandon. He runs an AWESOME blog humansofnewyork.com It is a visual census of New Yorkers with a little insight into their life or a shot of wisdom from them. Everyday he is out and about meeting, connecting, documenting and sharing us with our fellow New Yorkers and the world. 

I have long admired his consistency and quality so I was a little star struck when he introduced himself today.

We met on the train today, in the most common way train conversations start: over a book (I am reading  Alexis Ohanian's 'Without their permission.') We had a short chat and he was instantly such a genuinely nice guy I want to tell everyone how nice he is! But personal approval aside do yourself a favor and check out HONY it will make your day better, everyday :)
