Just been notified that I have a portfolio review and interview with Tisch on the 24th.
Taking a celebratory cigarette break on the fire escape.

*************************************************
Apparently I need to leave the interviewers with not only images of my work but also a nice big 8.5x11 of my scuzzy mug. They said candid shots are fine so I decided to snap one myself.
I Just...

I rode home from Jersey listening to the sampler cd's that steveneurotic gave me. Its not my usual style of music but there were a few selections that I could get into.

Greetings from Camp Neurotic!

The plan was to swing into this joint for a single fun filled evening of pics and laughs and whatnot. But I've enjoyed my time here so much, that I eventually decided to extend my stay.

*Mama's been spending too much money lately. Gonna stay in tonight and conserve the resources.

*Question: have you ever heard the phrase "Keep your hands above the equator" and would you ever say it?

"Fo Chicken and Fried Rice", It's 5:30 am and I have just arrived back to the rotten apple! I've been awake for 25 hours and have been curseing the Amtrak gods for at least 13 of them. Now its off to bed I go.

A friend of mine called tonight...wanting to talk about another friend of ours.


Someone once told me that, on some higher plane, we all choose our lives before we are born into them -- we pick and choose the lessons that we are here to learn.
Sometimes we overdo it -- we pick too many or pick something too big and have to bail out...

Alright, so it I will be attending the upcoming SGNY ruckus. The line to buy my drinks appears to already be forming. So hop in the back and I'll be sure to reward you with my drunken Haiku skills.

Big News O' the Moment: I sent off my application to the graduate program at Tisch. Cross your fingers.

I fly out tomorrow afternoon. Until then,...
