NYC is poetic, am I?

What's interesting is that a city can be something different to everyone else. Media is so effective at portraying a city. NYC has an almost mythical status with Friends, Seinfeld, Sex in the City, and even more contemporary content creators like Casey Neistat or Kelly Wasaka. I'

Grammar Table

The world is weird. Last Wednesday when I was at the Upper West Side as I usually am for tap dance. I saw a person had set up a booth called the Grammar Table. Often a general principle is to avoid people on the street, avoid people who seem to

House Warming Party?

I moved to Brooklyn from San Francisco about 8 months ago in search of love. Despite having my brother enlisted as a dating coach I wanted to try something new! While the gold rush brought pioneers out west looking to make it big, I was heading east hoping to find

Badass Brothers

"tmrw we will hopefully take a tap class so one day we will tap on our enemies grave... we are badass brothers thanks 2 our parents". My brother, Samuel wrote the above and some more on the back of a Brotherhood of Death postcard quite fitting. To find

Yes, but

Our teacher Mallory splits the room in half. The people on the right will walk up and establish the who and the what of the scene. The people on the left will establish the who and the where.  Then we'll trade places and continue. We hear a loud

Youtube

One of my fondest memories as a child was creating movies / films. There's something magical about playing pretend, putting on a play, and combining this with capturing the moment on film. I don't know if I decided to stop being cheap, or if our parents finally
