Wednesday...after the party

So I hung out at A's beautiful apartment again. We got food from Pop Burger, had some G. Goose with munchies from Western Beef! We almost got Pinkberry, but didn't feel like walking two avenues (and they don't deliver). For all you Apple lovers that new Apple store will be huge when it's completed. I should starting taking before photos!

Another evening in Chelsea / Meatpacking district.

It's Raining...but

It's raining, chilly but tonight I'm going to a friends party in Chelsea. His wife is out of town and he's ready to party. I'm like...whoa man, unless you are having a slumber party I can't stay out all night.

That's what I say now.

Zimbabwe's Tragedy

Shakespeare's tragedies are called tragedies because of a character flaw. This story is a tragedy because of a flaw with a country.

Be grateful for what you have.

Great Photo! I wonder what/who he's thinking about. The SRV on his left shoulder stands for Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Drowsy Chaperone

If you're in town, check out Drowsy Chaperone. I saw it Sunday. It's fun and if you like musical theatre...you'll get the little "inside" jokes.

Enjoy...show off!!

Year of Magical Thinking

I've yet to read the book, but I saw the play last week and on the surface it's a play about someone dying, but underneath it's a play about our reaction to the death of parent, partner, child. We are never prepared for those little moments like selling clothing, seeing photos and receiving mail of those that have passed. All that that on top of the death itself.

The play opens and the character looks at the the whole audience for what seemed like an eternity and said, "One day this will happen to you". It was spine chilling!

Take some time to think about how you want your "estate" divided. It will help make things a lot easier for the people you have left behind.

Stardust

I thought the highlight of Stardust would be Michelle Pfeiffer and it was for me, but who would have thought the reclusive and horrible interviewee Robert DeNiro would have given a wonderfully heartwarming performance. I'm a lukewarm fan again.

See it! See it! See it!

22nd Street

I found myself in Chelsea quite a bit this weekend (yes, very funny). If I could afford to live there, I would.

I discovered, while moving around Chelsea (14th street to 26th Streets), that I rarely walked on the busy 23rd street. I took side streets like 22nd or 24th. Those streets aren't as crowded and maneuvering is a lot easier and more scenic with the brownstones.

A thought popped up in my mind. Is this a sign? Am I getting old? Am I tired of New York City? Normally, I always want to be on the busiest more crowded parts of NYC to be feel the "energy" of the city. This weekend it was more about the journey. More about

Maybe I needed a break from Chelsea or I need a break from New York. I think it was both.

We are all citizens of the world and like Martin Luther King said. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.

Aside from the blog. Tyson Beckford is striking, isn't he? One of the best faces and bodies in the modeling industry!
