Went down to John Lennon's Memorial last night with Laura. Considering the freezing weather conditions the turnout was amazing. I took the opportunity to wear long underwear for the first time. There were enough people that they had pretty significant crowd control and a huge police presence (probably because a good portion of these people are ( Read more... )

I'll be heading ('flocking', as the article says) to Strawberry Fields in Central Park with Laura to pay tribute to John Lennon this evening.

A few things are explanatory of why I have not updated. For one, I've been pretty busy with real work. Secondly, I've been really busy having fun. And lastly, I've just been really lazy to type out an entry. It boils down to the fact that there is so much to talk about and I type all day long, so when it comes time to update my journal, I don't ( Read more... )

Ho' Hum... Where to begin? Ok, so Thanksgiving night is where this tale left off. The streets and bars of New York still proved to be pretty happenin' despite the family-oriented nature of the day.

An area rug for the main floor, a bathroom rug, and a front door mat (let's call it a rug ( Read more... )

After I posted yesterday, in an effort to figure out how to get around in New York without needing to constantly consult 'the' map, I just randomly decided to test my knowledge and do some sightseeing at the same time. I wanted to hit up Union Square, Rockefeller Center, and Penn Station(-area). I made it, and didn't even go on any detours. Took ( Read more... )

Well, I'm officially a New York City Boy by myself as of today. Julius left at 4am last night and arrive in Los Angeles moments ago. No partying last night since he had such an early departure. We figured it was best that he not get completely wasted, show up at JFK airport and get denied boarding because of severe inebriation, belligerence and ( Read more... )

Just woke up, saw this 'X' on my hand, and had flashbacks of Coyote Ugly last night. Wow. Pretty sure I'm still drunk.
