On a recent trip back from the Jersey Shore to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn by way of the Outerbridge, this location caught my eye. An “eyesore” for many is pleasing to mine… a dilapidated multiplex, covered in plywood, tagged and overgrown with weeds. Ah, such things lure me in, boggle my Read more…

Slowly, very slowly, more simple collective pleasures seem to be surfacing. The streets of New York City, once jarringly empty, have been bustling with a long-gone energy.

I kind of react to snow like someone in a movie, hands out and smiling gleefully. Though I am well aware of water cycle diagrams, powdery white fluffy flakes blanketing the entire neighborhood still holds a bit of childish magic. So I tried to take selfies within it, just like Read more…

I’ve realized that intellectual compatibility is the only way to be ushered past all my diligent guards. But beyond the gates… rewards well worth the usual frustration, hassle and disappointment of having said standards.

With my fried chicken battle in mind, I chose an opportunistic visit to Honeybee’s, now in the space once occupied by Cienfuegos above Mother of Pearl.

Watching an old and dear friend achieve Hollywood success is quite surreal. Watching them be swarmed by others in every direction… we basked in the love and added ours to it.

On the New Years resolution tip and inspired by my old friend in Seattle: Don’t forget to forget. Neuroscientists and Google searchers know that the brain’s Limbic System, also known as the emotional motor system, has many very important components. Inside, the almighty amygdala. This little piece of grey determines how Read more…

Sorry blog. The new school year is kicking my arse. Be back soon! For your viewing pleasure, this fantastic cinematic music montage.
