Life Can Be So Simple

webshare_1367761091294

I met a little girl on the subway the other day. She was no older than 6 or 7 and had the energy I wish I had right at this very moment. She told me all about her day at school, about what she did for her mom of Mother's Day and about Josie her best friend. She even told me that the next day was going to be "The best day ever" because of the plans she and Josie had. As I got up to exit the train after the most stimulating conversation I think I have ever had with a 6 or 7-year-old, her mother … [Read more...]

Motivation Monday – Weekend Lessons (Turn Down For What?!)

yjb

  Never hate on parking lot pimpin' It is soooo possible to be high simply off of life, right NayBear? When trying to get the attention of a party trolley's cute driver ... park car directly in front of said trolley... horizontally. Then have boldest girl of the bunch, (cough) Bunnie, hop out of the car and seal the deal for you. Do not share your Chinese food at 3AM with a random stranger... they will leave before the bill and then return shortly after. Yes, JC, I'm speaking … [Read more...]

Today, Humanity Disappointed Me

why

I apologize in advance if this post comes off a little disheveled. Yesterday / this morning I accompanied a woman not too much older than me to the hospital after seeing her bleeding clear thru her jeans in front of my local bodega. She refused an ambulance, so I flagged down a cab, rode with her, paid for the cab and then sat in the Emergency Room with her as the nurses treated her as if she had a paper cut. After much hassle and showing both my I.D. and health insurance card, she was seen to, … [Read more...]

Lessons From The Weekend

befearless

Brooklyn is full of weirdos... and I fucking love them! Being nice to someone can honestly go a long way. Nice to man on Friday evening. Saturday afternoon man from Friday reserves table within a club in Soho for birthday celebrations. Catching a taxi? Almost impossible if you are past midtown. Sex and the City lied, no amount of leg or cleavage will make them bastards stop. DON'T EVER SHOP IN THE FOREVER 21 IN TIMES SQUARE UNLESS YOU ARE IN DIRE … [Read more...]

Weekend Reset Anyone?

omaha6

Remember when I stated I had real life reset buttons (my family in England)? Well I have two more in Nebraska. I am actually writing this blog post from the airport in attempts to somewhat calm me down and stop the tears.  I miss my best friends already. I know I’ve spoken about them from time to time, but I don’t think I have actually explained our story, the reason why I am positive these two women are my soul mates. You see it all began the summer of 2006, that confusing yet exciting … [Read more...]

Unitentional Hiatus Over

apartment

Yes I know, I have some nerve showing my face here after a damn near two week hiatus, but I can explain! I’ve packed and moved to a new apartment, been hospitalized, and have been buried within work both personal and business. Yes folks, I have been stressed. I really hate that my first post after this unintentional hiatus is one where I am venting, but I didn't want to fake the funk. This long weekend was simple. It was unplanned. It was laid back. And it was perfect. It was one of those … [Read more...]
