Go To The Light Mark

Mark Carson, I offer my prayers on behalf of your spirit. Journey on Mark, to that divine place where all of us will have our turn at metamorphosis.

Darling Mark, do not focus on being sent to transition so violently, instead, embrace the truth that there is only love on the other side.

Marcos, you are being sent Mark, please look for him and take him on a tour.

On The Bus

It's been awhile since I shared stories about the scandalous behaviors I see on the bus. Here is an interesting moments:

Four young dudes with long greasy hair and skin tight jeans get on the bus with me. Somehow we all end up sitting in the back.

I sit on the window seat, and have three young dudes to my right, and one young dude sitting in front of me.

Dude To My Right: So she  said they're gonna be there?

Dude In Front of Me: Yeah man! Stop asking me.

Dude In Front of Me then takes out a pack of Newport cigarettes and in there are two small bags of pot.

Dude To My Right: You should let me blow you for that.

Dude In Front of Me: (turns to me) Sorry for this exhibition.

Me: You shouldn't keep that in there. What if you offer someone a cigarette and forget you stashed it in there. You either going to get busted or have to share.

All the dudes chuckle. Dude In Front of Me puts the bags in his pocket.

I then wondered whether these guys get high and blow each other when the girls aren't around. 

All Air, No Net for Jason

Reading about Jason Collins coming out of the closet has brought tears to my eyes. I really digged what he wrote in Sports Illustrated.

Jason's words seem to come from a very honest, thoughtful and brave place. That article will change the lives of many young athletes in all sports. Click here for the full article.

Don't Call It A Comeback

John Galliano is slowly returning from being exiled from the fashion-world due to the horrid anti-Semitic remarks he made while drowning his pain in booze.

Back in February, Johnny teamed up with Oscar de la Renta and added the Galliano touch to Oscar's fall 2013 collection.

And, Johnny is going to share his talents and experience in a master class being offered at Parsons.

May he stay the course and return back to a world focused on beauty, rather than engaging in habits that will summon the ugly.

Annette's Turn At Metamorphosis

When I was a young kid, around the age of 7 or 8, the local TV station showed old episodes of the Mickey Mouse Club from the 1950s.

It was during these broadcasts that I was introduced to Annette Funicello. I so wanted to hangout with Annette, hey all the other Mouseketeers seemed to hover around. Oh, I considered myself a Mouseketter at that time.

She could sing, act and dance en pointe! Yet, Annette was the beautiful and talented girl that was still humilde.

I even digged some of her beach movies. It helped that she had that cutie Frankie Avalon hanging with her. Yeah, Annette's world was not only filled with music and dance, but also cuteness.

She was another of those performers that helped me escape, a harsh childhood, and spend some time in a fantasy world.

She is now free from a body that was afflicted with MS, and can now transition to a new reality.

Ciao darling! Thank you.

Spring Has Sprung

Today, I tended to my altar in observance of the spring equinox. I cleaned it thoroughly, replenished the water, washed the stones, placed fresh flowers, served a libation, and lit a candle.

I then did my prayers and sent my love to the family and friends that have transitioned to the other side.

I also put in a request for a little miracle that will help me transition to the next chapter of my life on this plane.

Good people, may the spring rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.

Why Gentrification Sucks: Reason 242

Get into this interview that is linked below. In the interview you will learn yet another reason why gentrification sucks. Moreover, why this native NYer is often sad to see NYC's uniqueness disappear.

We are decades into seeing NYC being rebuilt for tourist and transplants, that want this city to conform, in order eliminate the unknown.

If you don't want to challenge yourself, then why travel? If you are escaping suburbia and the mall, then you shouldn't support the recreation of it in NYC. 

Ya feel me?
