my week in SOHO
Friday, November 2nd, 2007So my week in SOHO is coming to a close. It’s been a very productive week. Had some interesting interviews. Got some work done in between them, and met some interesting people that do what I do in the process. Oh yeah, and the expensive sushi, which I must say was the best sushi I [...]
The beat.
Thursday, November 1st, 2007Sheldon is originally from Guyana. He says he’s a country boy. Like the peace and quiet of living in the country. Grew up hearing the cocks crow at sunrise. His closest neighbor was at least a hectare away. He speaks with a very sing-songy New York / Caribbean accent, with a slightly French sounding tongue. [...]
A strong breeze blows…
Thursday, October 25th, 2007For many years, I’ve wanted to move to NYC. I’ve always felt at home there. Always felt in my element. Very few places make me feel as comfortable as NYC does. I sold all my furniture when I left Miami the first time. Sold all my “stuff”. I don’t own a car. I don’t have [...]
the beach
Sunday, October 7th, 2007I’m back on the beach. I’ve gotta rebuild. I sold all my furniture, gave up my apt and my car got stolen before I left town. I don’t have much. Yet, I feel happier than I have felt in years. I’m more free. My mind is clear. I have more work on my plate than [...]
Parting thoughts about Atlanta.
Monday, October 1st, 2007I’ll be leaving Atlanta soon. Things didn’t go how I expected them to. I’m glad I came. I’ll be even more happy to leave. Staying in Atlanta would be, for me, the beginning of a type of suffering that I don’t wish to place myself in. Atlanta is one of the most racially polarized cities [...]
The final evil.
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007The jar has been opened. The final evil has escaped. My curiosity has gotten the best of me. Will I die like the cat? Or has my torment has finally ended. Perhaps my life can finally start… anew. I’m not good at telling lies. It’s not becoming of me. I thrive best in a truthful [...]
Damn you!
Monday, September 24th, 2007Damn you. Damn these lessons. Every time I want to run and hide, something you said jumps to the forefront of my mind. Every time I get angry, I’m now forced to process it for what it actually is. Every time I just want to lash out and give up, you remind me that it’s [...]
forgiveness and compromise
Thursday, September 13th, 2007Someone once told me that you must first love someone in order to hate them. According to that, you can love someone you hate. But would you want to? But can you forgive them? Can you forgive someone who did something that you considered an unforgivable offense. Something that, if they knew you, just a [...]
just plain poo-poo (every night)
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007every night ends the same. with my shame. with accusations of things I haven’t done. with being made into a boy. with being reminded exactly how triffling I must be. every night I cry. I wonder what am I doing here. I wonder if it is all worth it. I wonder if I can recover [...]
