This is a first. But, I’m soooo annoyed that I have to blog about the silliness of DSL. For the third time in like six months… I’m having internet issues. I’m pretty certain my roommate and I need a new modem, but, you can’t tell this dude anything. If it semi-works there can’t be anything wrong, right?! How do people like this live with themselves??? I don’t freaking know, but, it gives great insight as to how they live their lives. So… until the issue is resolved, I’ll blog when I can. I probably spend too much time on frying [...]

Okay so… I’m kinda doing a false advertisment, because this isn’t about the supernatural. It’s about something very natural: smiling.  Not many people know this, but, I’m a huge fan of smiley faces. Yes that big yellow bald guy that told you to “Have a nice day!” in the 70′s??? Yeah, we’re pretty close.  I love smiling in general. In fact, I  was asked recently if I was addicted to smiling.  Without a a thought I said, “YES!” I’ve been in NYC for what, 14 yrs at this point and I’m a serial smiler. Which isn’t typical NYer behavior. Most NYers don’t [...]

It amazes me how people go through life, not knowing what’s good for themselves. I’m convinced that capitalism and Amercain culture in general relies heavily on keeping you confused about who you are. For example, our society frowns on self-confidence. There seems to be this secret subtext being repeatedly murmured saying, “you cannot think you’re good enough in anyway, shape or form.” In otherwords, it’s bad for you to feel good about yourself. And, this need for insecurity is the crux of how we do business. From beauty, to cars, to politics…the propoganda being sold and consumed is: YOU AREN’T [...]

­Illusions of Separation I will not go into this place with you Where the bars are of fear, the air confused. This cell is yours and yours alone. –The place where your inner child makes his home. I fly amongst the light of the stars The sea–her love songs, is my heart. This is where I live and what lives me. This is my home and what I breathe. Yes, I can hear you calling for me. And, while I’m always here, it’s only separation you see. “Goodbye” you say, again and again. Though I could heal it–you are the [...]

So, we’re almost finished with the first month of the New Year. How many people have forgotten their resolutions already? It’s funny how every year people set themselves up with a list of things they will do in order to better themselves–and three weeks later, they’re exactly back to who they were prior to the dropping of the ball in times square? Yep, we wake up long enough to say Happy New Year, make a list and then promptly go back to sleep. And, then wonder, why? Why aren’t things getting better? Why are we bored with the monotony of [...]

I am at a utter loss to explain the absence of substance in today’s society regarding relationships. Do people really think that they do not have to do anything to be in a relationship? I mean, they say beauty is only skin deep for a reason! Seriously, I’m really tired of people thinking that they can maintain any sort of relationship without putting themselves out there. You simply cannot. You’re just going to find that your front door has been replaced by a revolving one. So, he’s hot, she’s hot…you look hot together. And? After you’ve rocked each other’s world–then what? [...]

I am, who I say I am… And, everyday, the concept of me seems to get bigger. I like it. It’s nice to know, that all the things I thought I knew about myself aren’t permanent and that like all things in nature, I have the option to continue growing… Theoretically, that’s what the artist does, pushes themselves to become more that they thought they were. All around me, I’m noticing the perdicatablity of the human experience in general, and well… I reject it. I am profoundly bored by knowing that when I wake up tomorrow, it’ll be eerily similar [...]

Haunted   She comes creeping into his thoughts at night. Truth, her candle, shining bright Smiling her words of what was said Eyes speaking… his thoughts read.   Chanting lies to himself; repeat His love, to her he won’t bequeath A language foreign: he won’t speak. –A hollow life for him to greet.   One more drink and she’ll go away Deny the current to make her stay. Lose her in the herbal fog… Farce made real– just play along.   Still, quiet reflects her image in his mind. And, peace refuses to give him its time. What is there [...]

Let me start by saying I’m tired! But, for all the right reasons. I went to yoga today and finished my day researching for Hot Pies & Tarts, LLC. And, I’m happy to say, we’re almost there. And…I’ve accepted the title of Producer in my friends film. Ay-yo, anybody wanna invest in a small film? Dude…we just need to raise 300K, holla! When you’re trying to get art seen nothing is sacred! Heehee. If not the movie, how about a lingerie store? Looking for money baby… lemme know! Regardless, I’m birthing these babies, and  you can say you knew me when…   This [...]

So, I’ve been off for like a week from working as I am a consultant. This after 5 mos. of 45-50 hour work weeks, business dinners, gatherings, and holiday parties. Dude… I was fried. And, I’ve been recovering ever since. Mind you, I haven’t been just resting on my laurels…I’ve been working on my business plan for Hot Pies & Tarts, LLC. which we plan to open at year end. I’ve also been going to yoga and being social. This may not seem like a lot (or, maybe it is), but, January is usually my chill month, where I’m a [...]
