buried by snow

I was supposed to be in Milan right now, but thanks to what the reporters call ‘Snowpocalypse’, the blizzard has left me standing still. Blocked from getting on a plane, and getting out of the US. Last night there was nothing still, 45 mph wind gusts and 2 feet of snow blew brutally through New […]

Sometimes I feel so fragile. Ready to break at any moment and last night was one of those nights.

Yes, you read that right…and no, I haven’t been taking prescription drugs, or non-prescription drugs, nor had I been drinking (but I started shortly after emerging from the subway), […]

Same-Same, and Not So Different – New York

Shit…is it all a dream – it feels like it was a dream. I feel like I just fell down some weird rabbit hole and Alice is offering me tea. Arriving back in New York is beyond describable for me. As I walk around New York it feels as if the last 16 months were […]
