Just Another Day in the Brookland

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Today Emily and I got out of the house and saw a bit more of Brooklyn. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed down to the East River. It offers a gorgeous view of Manhattan and a relaxing spot away from the busyness of everyday city life. On the walk there we came [...]

This Road Closed

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I emerged from the subway thinking I had crossed some vortex. Shifting from the city of strangers to the city of absence. I called out only to hear my voice echo through the hallway. My feet shuffled through tentatively so as not to awaken whatever lie ahead. Brick after brick I came closer to being [...]

Top Left Is The New Center

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Has anyone other than me noticed that men’s graphic t-shirts are beginning to take a much more edgy approach across the board? One of the biggest trends is that very few t-shirts now have center logos. They all seem to be gravitating towards the upper left of the tee allowing for some great graphical elements [...]

The Brooklyn Bluff

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Two nights ago I sat on the porch with my friend dreXeL getting completely excited about a newsflash we had been alerted to right here in Brooklyn. Apparently there is a secret, non-gov’t sanctioned tunnel running deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Starting yesterday, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel was to [...]

Only in New York City

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I woke up today restless. Yesterday was spent indoors as it was both cold and rainy and I lacked almost all motivation. So yesterday I knew I needed to get up and get out. I intended to head to Obscura Antiques on East 10th Street to look at…well, obscure antiques. I got off the train [...]

The Art of Conversation

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

You may remember me mentioning a month or two ago that I was selected along with a handful of other writers to co-write a new book entitled The Art of Conversation. A title looking at the marketplace and business structure of the 21st century, I finally finished my chapter last night. This morning I am [...]

Exploring the Empty Lots

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Just after lunch today I decided to take a walk around a few blocks and do a little exploring. It was actually pretty exciting as I lowered myself from a falling window ledge to what once was the basement of an abandoned building. As I stepped down onto an old beam I could hear a [...]

What Did You Expect?

Monday, May 12th, 2008

With paintbrushes cleaned and stored away, boxes discarded and pictures hung and displayed, I settle into my new life. Today is day one of “the normal days”. I guess most think that life in New York is always adventurous and full of celebrity run-ins, red carpet premieres and all-night parties. But, alas, it is not. [...]
