If you've started to watch HBO's new comedy series "How I Made It In America", then you have seen a slightly glorified look into my life. To be more accurate and fair what you have seen is a slightly glorified look into the lives of me and my friends. All the characters on the show are just better looking versions of my friends and I with the character roles slightly mixed up.
The premise of the show in a nut shell is about two friends who try to make it big by embarking on highly entrepreneurial hustles. Well that was exactly what my friends and I were doing when in our mid twenties. A character on the show credits another character in the show for, "making the coolest t-shirts in high school," something my friends and I got into well before the start of this show. Shoot, there's even a character on the show that portrays your typical wall street deep pocketed loser. Which for except for the deep pocketed loser part is a perfect portrayal of my present station in life! At the end of the day I see a little piece of my friends and I in all the characters on the show and I'm loving it!! This show has some promise. Please catch it on HBO and get a better idea of what my friends are like but more importantly what I'm like.
Some facts that contrast the show: the show takes place in NYC, well while a lot of our endeavors took place in NYC me and my friends are in fact Jersey boys. Ok, thats pretty much the only difference.
