Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

Totally Picky and Pretentious

I know, I know, you don’t like brown. Or purple. And that font over there is too small to read. You forgot a period after that comment. Rework that sentence. Move that paragraph over here. Your ‘m’s’ are inconsistent when you write. The PowerPoint photographs are pixelated and forgot to title that slide.  

And don’t even get me started on squares, they’re almost as bad as having to walk around with a rock in your shoe. You don’t wear black and navy blue together. Or mix a brown belt with black shoes. His shirt is totally wrinkled and by the way, he wore that on Tuesday.

They could’ve gone lighter on the salt in this dish. That person didn’t use their turn signal, jerk! She misspelled a word in her text message. She used the wrong eye shadow for her complexion, she’s more of a winter with make up. I see she missed a spot cleaning the bathroom.

Okay, okay… I admit, I see your faults and ignore my own glaring ones. I’ll practice looking at myself and be the change I wish to see in the world.
