1/31/10 Spill Happy Birthday!


Last night was the Birthday bash for a great friend of mine, Alexandra Beguez (Check out her wonderful work at bisforbeguez.com). It was a blast to get together with some great friends I hadn't seen in a while at the cool little hotspot in the West Village, Alibi Lounge. The music rocked and Vodka was a plenty. Get a bunch of artists tipsy and dancing = Spillage.

This photo is a little rough, as it was dark and taken with the non-flash iPhone. But this is the result of a happy spill onto Monica's pants. She was excited to find a FACE IT, so I agreed to upload it in honor of her!

Today's photo was found courtesy of Melinda & Monica's keen eye.. At Alibi Lounge in the West Village, NYC. ON HER PANTS!!

1/30/10 Hungry!! Breadfactory Makes Me Less So.


Sorry to everyone who links directly to the blog, But I had to post yesterday's photo directly through the Facebook & Twitter Feeds because Blogger didn't want to work for me on my iPhone in terms of uploading photos. Before Alexandra Beguez's birthday and after a long day of working on some Illustrations, I was famished and starving. So aside from my better judgement, I ate two wonderful slices of pizza. Mmmmm!

Today's image was found at the Bread Factory in Hell's Kitchen, NYC! This is exactly how the plate looked after I finished devouring.

1/29/10 Feeling Accomplished :)


It's the end of a long week, but I feel i've kept true to all of my New Year's Resolutions. I've continued to get my life in shape, organize my presence and have a weekend that will be filled with great friends. Happy Birthday to Alexandra Beguez! Check out her work if you have a chance, it's some fantastic schtuff! bisforbeguez.com

1/28/10


After a day of feeling blah and also having a rough time finding A photo to fit my mood, Here it goes... It's what I would think is self explanatory.

Todays photo was found in West New York, NJ. Just outside my best friend's apartment.

1/27/10 To iPad or Not To iPad?


This is the question on my mind, as I sit in an office fool of eager folks (myself among them) awaiting every little detail on Apple's latest breakthrough product. I love the damn thing. The videos were enticing, the product design beautiful (albeit a giant iPhone), and the iBook feature is damn amazing.. But for such a hefty price, will I be able to get the mileage and usage out of it that I'd need? The answer seems to lean towards No. I already have an iPhone, iTouch, and MacBook. When will I really use another Apple product that in essence does what I already can do on these other platforms and make the best out of paying ANOTHER monthly fee for Wi-Fi & 3G? I don't know.. But as soon as I'm a billionaire, I will buy everything Apple oriented. And LIKE it!!!

Today's photo was found courtesy of a disarrayed Doggie Dish & Pad set in Midtown, NYC. Aroo?

1/26/10 Need Caffeine! :-/


After such an energetic and uplifting few days, it seems as though my body has decided that it's going to retract. So now I long for as much caffeine as I can intake to allow me to stabilize! Ugh! Why do all good things have to come to an end! Bah humbug.

Today's photo was found on the handle located inside of a NYC Taxi Cab. This handle definitely has "wah wah wah" written all over it, eh?

1/25/10 Feeling Like a Double-Take!


Today continues my unchallenged happiness from the weekend! It's so crazy to me that even my worst enemy (New York City rain) couldn't affect my good mood! I'm doing a double-take at myself folks! Sorry, this is starting to go overboard. :)

Today's image was found inside of a NYC Taxi Cab. It's like a cheery little optical illusion!
