The bustle of the city
The Barbeques
And basketball
As the sound fades
Standing on the roof
I realize
After all these months
The West isn't where I thought it was
So
I turn slightly to my left
And raise my glass
Here's to you
To Barbeques
And Brotherhood

E v e r y o n e always talks about their life happenings. I usually avoid that. I don't know why. Let's give it a shot.

I spent the early part of the weekend with DMH and BRL. We had wonderful conversations. We talked of the deepest of deep and the shallowest of shallow. We caught up. We relived old tales. We visited the place that earned Nate Dumas his purple heart and the place where Dylan Thomas drank himself to death.. We played catch in central park. I love those guys like brothers. It was good times. A+

Tonight was my last night of work. Afterwards I went with my friend Mickey to a party in the village where I watched speed chess being played by chess masters. He explained the theories and strategies of space and time. I tried to follow along. At 5:30am we took a cab back to Brooklyn. The cabbie told me not to move out of my apartment. Then I sat on the porch and watched the sunrise while the birds sang the chorus of the lonely.

I am now listening to Son Lux - At War With Walls and Mazes, which is one of the most glorious and heartbreaking records I have ever heard. It's the record that I wish I could make. The time I spend not listening to it makes me want to inject it into my brain and pile it over my body like so much sand on a toddler at the beach.

It is now almost 7. The cats are napping. I do not plan on joining them until after the 9 o'clock skype meeting I have with my fellow Bootcamp Code teachers.

Thus is my life. I hope it was of interest to you.

With the semester (and the first year of grad school for that matter) recently finished, I can turn my attention back on things that really matter... like recording cover songs.

Today I pay homage to one of the greatest songwriters of the modern era.

Give it a listen

Enjoy.

As I was about to leave the subway the other morning, I looked up to see if it had started raining and saw this:

Beautiful, no?

After months of asking her, L- has finally decided to contribute on the blog. She will share her thoughts, photographs, and ideas with us, and we will all be better because of it. So without further ado...

I don't often think about how fast the world moves or the relationship of our planet to the other heavenly bodies. However, these facts were brought to mind when I took this picture.

In the time it took for me to get my camera out and snap this picture, the moon had moved from the center of the gap between these two buildings, slightly to the right. Seconds later, it was completely hidden from view. I felt very glad to have been there when I was. If I had been walking down that street one minute later, I would have missed it entirely.

Hey there. I miss you. Let's grab a falafel and a coke. But I know we're both strapped for time, so let's make it quick. Bon Appetite.
