  • Dear Friend

    Good Morning, I know this is a bit abrupt but I’ve been concerned that I was not able to reach you for the past couple weeks. I seem to have the worst timing. Our relationship has grown worlds apart from how it was when we first met. Do you remember? Us spending every possible moment…

  • Inspiration – Neil Gaiman

    “Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.” ― Neil Gaiman, A Game of…

  • Death’s Dream

    Clothed in the night, she walked amongst the hidden tribulations veiled thinly and pressed firmly into the world. Her eyes reflected only the stagnant light of stars long dead as she descended. She was the embodiment of darkness, skin rustic and ruddy that greedily soaked up the sun and glimmered like the full moon. She…

  • This week in books

    I was able to go to Junot Diaz and Zadie Smith’s book signung events this week, both at Barnes and Noble and I have to say that I’m ridiculously inspired. I enjoy authors that write stories about people who I can see some of myself in or recognize in it, traits of someo ne I…

  • I Remember 9/11

    Everyone I know that was in New York at the time of 9/11 remembers exactly what they were doing the second they heard. I was getting ready for school, fresh out of the shower I turned on New York 1 to check the weather as I usually did in the morning. Waiting for the weather…

  • Memory

    I remember smells and tastes more than I remember faces and names. I could tell you the kind of day it was when I had my first kiss but not what I was wearing, I could recall the first song I ever sang for an audience when I was 6 but not the last time…

  • The awe in every day

    Sometimes you take for granted the beauty and inspiration that you’re surrounded by every day.

  • For your viewing pleasure

    Seen on the way home tonight in order of appearance.

  • My taste of contentment

    So, A is in the kitchen…making me stew. It’s been close to an hour, I’m almost faint with anticipation and it smells delicious.

  • As seen on…

    Waiting for the Q train…noticed all of the posters had the train line cut out, in this case what’s cut out from the poster was {4} These are the subtlety that make New York, undeniably…new york.

  • A Spike Lee Joint

    I’ve always been interested in how the American government treats it’s people and the seeming inability for us to get out of the detrimental cycles that we go over seas to free other people from. I’m currently watching; If God willing and Da creek don’t rise; a follow up documentary style film by Spike Lee.…

  • I miss…

    When you miss someone, what is it that makes you ache? Is it the big things like them not being around you or is it the little things…like the way smelled after a shower?

  • Ramble Ramble

    What I absolutely hate is waking up and dealing with this feeling of complete emotional trauma. I feel stifled, exhausted and irritable and logically there is no reason why. I’ve actually been doing good I think, making peace with the big decisions I’ve made lately aka its all for the greater good syndrome so I…

  • Vacation’s Over

    So. I go back to work tomorrow. Albeit for one day and then I’m off for the weekend. I think the reality of it is going to be unbearably crushing. Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

  • Vanishing Pages

    I’ve argued the importance of good ole’ page turning before, I feel there is nothing better than being insomniac ridden by a good book and the trembling of your fingers as you turn page after page. There is something about feeling the weight of the book in your hands or on your lap that makes…
