“Good Girls Go to Heaven, Bad Girls Go to New York” – #87
This is what the t-shirt, worn by a big woman with no bra on the subway read. I’m heading back to Penn Station to return to Long Island and reminiscing over a night of debauchery. Which naturally followed a day of shooting the most amazing video of my life. This is what happened. We shot […]
MY WEDDING HOOK UP – #84
July 24, 2012
While I was delivering my speech at my brother’s wedding, I kind of wondered why the cameraman was getting closer and closer to me. I almost thought when I finished, he was going to say, “Wait, can we do it one more time in a medium shot?” I was a little tipsy and too caught […]
“Occupy Wall Street” #70
October 17, 2011
My parents drove me to the train station for my meeting with the potential publisher. I told them I had a job interview – not a chance to publish the blog that was all about them. I got on the Manhattan-bound train racked with nerves. All I kept thinking about was my “platform” or lack […]
“The Unemployed Days of Summer” #60
July 11, 2011
There’s something about living at home with your parents that adds an inordinate amount of weight to a pending job interview. It becomes your everything. Your key to the garden of hope – to the other side – where normal people live – where you can breathe easy and walk around in your underwear – where […]
“Oh NO They Didn’t” #55
June 7, 2011
Despite really wanting to be alone and perhaps enjoying a quiet romantic dinner for one, I not only run into Brian and his brother, but my parents on the way into Tsar’s Palace, the main dining room of the ship. So, out of courtesy, we all dine together. Not only is my father asking Brian […]
“A Little Action Never Hurt Nobody” #54
June 2, 2011
On the third day of the cruise, after calmly and intently spending some time in the ship’s café area with my journal and inner reflections, I went to the buffet for a late breakfast. I was finally enjoying my own company and my own state of “aloneness” so much that there was a smile on […]
“Take A Risk” #49
April 30, 2011
Before I begin, I would like to address the questions posed to me by Kim, the funny, wise, and compassionate writer from FAST APPROACHING MIDDLE AGE http://fastapproachingmiddleage.wordpress.com/. In response to my last post, she turned all of my interview questions on me. So here are the answers: -At 8 years old I was very shy. […]
“The Little Engine That Could” #44
April 6, 2011
Now that I’m living with my parents, I’m no longer just living for myself. I have my mother’s pride and reputation to think about. So when she volunteer’s my services to her neighbor who needs a babysitter, I try to step forth in the best light possible. I certainly could use the money, but I’ve […]
“In My Head, In My Heart” #42
April 1, 2011
My brother and sister left on Sunday. Despite the stress that’s caused from having everyone around, a bizarre melancholy takes its place when they’re gone. I found myself alone in my room embodying a peculiar silence. My parents went to the library for a talk on “Long Island Folklore” (it’s free). This peculiar silence followed […]
