It took three months to notice that I left my shoe-box of love letters and journal entries under a bed, in a room, in an attic. This particular room was on Barnard street where I spent my last year of college. By the time I realized I’d left it, the shoe-box was already long gone. … Continue reading »

Perception
I’m noticing that I spend the majority of my day thinking about what other people think. I’m not just referring to what others think about my outfit, or hair. What I’m talking about is the never-ending contemplation of why people do what they do. Why someone called or didn’t call me—why someone said or didn’t … Continue reading »

Breakfast of Champions + Rocky and Bullwinkle
It’s Saturday, it’s 8:30 a.m., and I’m awake. There really isn’t any reason for this. I don’t have a small child who’s poking me in the stomach with their cubby little fingers asking me for juice. There’s isn’t someone with morning wood poking me in the back. I’m just wide awake. Some people say when … Continue reading »
West Coast Stay Sleepin’
Okay, so I moved out West in October of 2004. I knew that a relaxed lifestyle was one of the many reasons for relocating, but damn, I had no idea that the entire state was sleepy. Several weeks after settling in a small rural town, I woke up one Monday morning with gusto and took a … Continue reading »
This Time Baby I’ll Be Bulletproof
This little shot above is from the film, Juice. It’s my all-time, numero uno favorite movie. Not to mention that Tupac has the same birthday as me.

Never thought in a million years that I would be such a hard worker. There are some rewarding qualities of staying busy. Something … Continue reading »
