Sorry I haven't been around town much. Been too...
As my vision and various creative quests grow international, I find myself feeling oddly detached from NYC. I’ve started to realize that in our digital age, and when your work is omniversal, where you go to sleep at night doesn’t matter as much as what ideas you generate to your readership/global base.
A year ago, I was out on the town every night. This was my definition of what being...

Narcissists are ponds pretending to be oceans.
Try to delve deeper & discover there’s no one there. They are the literal walking dead.
If it makes you unhappy

I wish I were a trust fund kid...
because if I was, I’d use my money to pay for awesome music acts that never play NYC to come here & open the floodgates. Seriously, that’s primarily what I’d do with my $$$.
I never claimed to aim for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nine times out of ten, he’ll idiotically defend ‘The Notebook’ as undervalued while stressing the notion of periods and childbirth as heroic and beautiful feats of feminine endurance —as if these are the things he really thinks women...

My parents are throwing their version of a...
It’s a remarkably identical celebration every year. My dad will play me the tape he made when I was six—the one with Madonna, Abba, and The Tornadoes; my grandmother will tell me I’m too skinny; my Mom won’t leave the kitchen; my brother will conveniently vanish; my grandfather will fall asleep—and then it will all be done by 1am. ‘Amazing’.

Last night, I had a vaguely telepathic moment.
I was listening to the radio (yeah, I know—whatever) and Bowie’s ‘Suffragette City’ came on. At low volume, it hit me that its energy reminded me of what Blur was doing in the mid 90s. And THEN, the next song that came on WAS Blur. This was American radio, btw. Spooky/cool.
