Black and Gold

I love the beat so much I didn't start listening to the lyrics until B said, "Do you think it's about God"?

Yep I do!

**YouTube has pulled this one too!

SAM SPARRO interview

Thanks Hadi, he's my new fav artists I've come across this year. There's one more that I'll talk about soon.

He's cute too. Love those Aussie boyz!

A Month Into...

Summer that is! I haven't been present for much of it because of the work I've decided to do. I'm okay with that. I haven't been in the mood to be social lately. Lately, I just like keeping to myself and catching up on things I've recorded on my DVR.

I can't believe that it's almost the end of July. So with the summer almost a month in I have to say, "I need to plan another quiet weekend outside of my apartment". Maybe I'll plan a picnic for one on Governor's Island.

I want to blog, but with work and work I can't be

I'm still here

I know I haven't written in a while. Work is crazy cause we're moving and my evening are filled with fruit...ha ha ha!

New York is hot, muggy and smelly. Thank goodness for my air conditioner, but it's a wonder that I can fall asleep because it's so loud.

I've been writing and want to a play finished by the summer.

That's it in a nutshell at 2:49am. I'll make more sense in the daylight.

After I saw Wall E I took a stroll through Times Square. Where are all these cars going?

I found this on flickr. I love the lines of the markers and the wood grain. The only thing I would adjust would be the lighting. I just think this breaks the norm from all the flowers and plants you see on flickr.

This Week

It's a short work week for some here in the US. On July 4th we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence from England. Americans barbecue, drink and find a place to watch the fireworks.

Of course New York takes it to another level...

• Who has the best view?
• What party did you attend?
• Which fireworks display did you see?

Courtesy of a friend, I got to tag along to a penthouse party in the village that had a view of fireworks on the east and west side! Really after seeing the fireworks on the mall in Washington, DC. nothing in New York City can compare.

Can't you tell how proud I am of that...lol.

*As of this moment, I have no plans but that could change*

WALL-E

I heard good things about this movie, but after The Happening I wasn't so sure. After my day excursion with Izzy I went to see the movie.

I'm so glad I did. It was warm, straightforward and delightful. What I thought was most interesting is that there wasn't much dialogue. They relied on action to tell the story. Interesting how Pixar can create a movie with so much heart.

Wall-E was

• The Incredibles
• Finding Nemo
• Ratatouille
• Cars
  

It's not like they're doing something miraculous. They know how to tell a story. Now if only other's could do the same.

I thought this was perfect for Pride Weekend here in NYC. It just speaks for itself.

Happy Pride!

It started around 2pm after a long breakfast and deciding on a trail "everyone" could do. I didn't have any expectations, I've been hiking before but when I was much, much younger.

We set off, registered our group and headed up, up and up 2200 ft. (671 meters) to be exact to the top. Timberlands can get real heavy real quick!
