Suenalo wins my heart.
I was in Key West, Fl taking a break from the snow and ice. I stumbled into my favorite KW bar the Green Parrot, http://www.greenparrot.com/ Where live music and serious drinking is always going on. The band on this Valentine’s Day won my heart Suenalo, they were so smooth and funky they even got my brother to dance, normally no ammount of booze can do that.
It’s tough to...

ITS IN THERE!
I was 19. Sitting in a room of grown men, professional musicians. Shaking like a leaf on a tree, I had prepared for this moment for months. I took a deep breathe and started playing, the room lightened I could feel each of them smiling. The warmth in my cheeks from blushing was relieved my nerves settled momentarily and I started singing. I was playing Yesterday by The Beatles classical guitar...

I really wanted a ciggarette today, All of the sudden out of nowhere. Strange how that happens. I am going to start writing more, A little everyday. I feel like the writing helps me organize my thoughts and clear my head. Sometimes though, I feel like I am so lost in my head I can’t even bring my self to pick up a pen. I can’t even start typing because the moment I do the thoughts will...

– Five years ago tonight, I called you from a splurge hotel room in Accra. A little box with no windows but generous hot water and a dingy television that showed CNN. I went for a long walk through the streets to find a second hand English bookshop someone told me about, a papaya and real candy that...

Goodbye Friend!
“All I’m asking is one thing, particularly of young people: Please do not be cynical. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen to you.” - Conan O’Brian
Oh hey!
“And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter—they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.”

This makes me think of a roof in Brooklyn. One with great memories. I want to take a chair and a book and read up there. I want to make my morning coffee and stand up there and absorb the sights, sounds and scents of a city. One too huge to...
The day after sunday funday.
Ah, the first Monday of the year that I am unable to avoid that impending doom feeling. Unfortunate more so this being only the 2nd Monday of twentyten. Daydreaming of listening to The Moon and Antartica from front to back while re-reading Tom Robbins-Still Life with Woodpecker. Two friends that always cheer me up. Especially when combined.
Day 11, No Smokes.
Pat on the back.

Photo Adventure Ideas.
Who's got em'? I have lots of ideas. I want to hear others. Themes, places, things. I need at least 52 ideas. As creative as I like to think I am I know you are even more creative!
Blizzard...Eddie Izzard?
Took an amazing Spin class tonight. No better way to reduce the anxiety of being sans Cigarettes than riding a bike to nowhere for an hour. After my workout I was driving home trying occasionally to make my tires slip in the few inches of snow we got so far tonight. I then, made a snow angel and shoveled my walk. The simple pleasures in life are important. I greatly enjoy when fall comes and I...
Let's Begin
Things I intend to accomplish with this new year.
1. Quit Smoking
2. Learn French
3. Keep a workout regiment the whole year. (as oposed to my past lacksadaisical workout spurts.)
4. Travel somewhere new.
5. Take a picture every single day. These photos will not necessarily be some sort of creative genius. But they will be.
Oh the feeling of motivation! HERE WE GO!
Things are gonna change, I can feel it.
Sick of waiting for things to happen. I have made a decision to make things happen. Here I will post my daily, weekly, monthly projects. I think it will help make me stick to things. Also, the distractions and busy of it all, will surely assist in my main feat of twentyten… QUITTING SMOKING. Enjoy.
