I’ve heard tales of the multimillions of people in New York City. I’m in wonderment at the idea of spotting my twin. Another with similar features or actually digging a little deeper… My twin personality. Someone having mirrored intellect and thinking concepts. Someone brilliant in his or her own manner but not necessarily very…
It’s Wednesday, and already it has been a tiring week. I’m coping easy, simply because of fresh Mexico memories. Back here in New York it’s as hot as it was there, just without a pool less than a block away in all directions. I’m officially tired but I must say my morning workout was…
Two words – ladies and gentlemen. All inclusive! Getting out of the concrete jungle to experience a real jungle proved to be one of the best experiences of my life. Wednesday I drove back to Pittsburgh after work to catch a 7am flight to Mexico for an old work friends wedding. I don’t regret…
As I sit on the train this Thursday morning ready to recap this weeks events, I’m displeased to let on that I’m running on 45 minutes of sleep. One tale before the next though… Sunday in 90 degree weather I attended an “exclusive” rooftop launch party at “Bed” the launch was for a new…
I woke up feeling a bit different after turning 26. Monday morning turned out to be quite puzzling. Not only was the eventful weekend that I had been planning for a while over but I woke up focusing on what was next for me. As one page is turned another one is written. Not…
I can’t imagine another place I should be in life right now. When I wake up I feel like I’m supposed to be here. In this position and in this place. I wouldn’t give it up for anything. I feel that what I’m feeling is destiny… life is going according to a plan that…
This may seem silly to you but New Yorkers walk faster than the average American. Its like they all have a little motor in their pockets. I just applied for the motor so I haven’t yet mastered the art yet. While walking in Manhattan there are several things you need to consider… None of…
Apparently its rude to call homeless people bums. That’s just an uncommon random fact I thought I’d throw out there. Since there are so many of them you would think they weren’t taken into consideration so much. New Yorkers take the homeless very seriously. And why shouldn’t they? A decent portion claim to be…
New Yorkers pee anywhere. Now it seems to me that many parts of NY smell like urine, perhaps its because in the short time I’ve been here its rained a lot and its a common occurrence that the sewers fill up and spill into some streets. I’ve become a bit of a germaphobe. I’m…
This week’s tale starts a little early. As far as work goes I’m proud to say I’m maintaining. I’m pulling my weight in a very busy office like I’ve been there for months. I haven’t even needed to do overtime tofinish up. I’m quite proud that with only four days of training I have…
Well I’ve just completed my 1st month in New York. What have I learned? You’ve never been a minority until you’ve been here. It’s the only place I’ve ever been or could imagine in the US that I could be on a filled train and I’m the only Black person… The only black OR…
Sometimes I see the girl I was. I can see the redness in her anger and I feel the gray of her sorrow. Hidden deep beneath the confidant fearless extreme I have become, I know I am not far from who I once was, I realize I am because of who she was.
