Let’s talk about music, shall we? The commercial stuff that sells all over the world tends to come from the USA, the really fun stuff tends to come from the UK and the good stuff tends to come from Sweden. Don’t believe me? The Cardigans. Robyn. Tove Styrke. ABBA? Go ahead and add W&I to that list. W&I is a Swedish music duo comprised of film composers Ola Wilhelm, 29 years … Continue Reading →

This month’s Build Your Playlist came about after Gabriella Cilmi released her latest single, “Sweeter In History,” and soon I was stumbling across melancholy songs. Once I pulled two or three tunes together, I knew I wanted to execute a flash fiction writing exercise that involved two people going through some type of emotional turmoil. I will say this was probably one of the easiest exercises I’ve completed as it all … Continue Reading →

When it comes to SoHo, I have a total hate/love relationship. The sometimes impenetrable streets are the main cause of my disdain for this neighborhood but there are pockets where the constant stream of tourists don’t overcrowd. It is in this tourist free area that I visited a few weeks ago to help get myself in the spring mood. With a photographer on deck (seriously, doesn’t everyone travel with a photographer in … Continue Reading →

This Build Your Playlist takes a look at those all too familiar moments when a person tries to figure out if something or someone is worth fighting for anymore. Maybe it’s a relationship between two lovers or friends. It could even been a work relationship gone sour and one suddenly finds themselves walking around Columbus Circle on a brisk February day wondering what the hell just happened. I started putting together this BYP … Continue Reading →

The thing you have to understand about so many of the boys that I know is that they just don’t seem to understand what it means when a girl tells them no. They’ve asked me if I like their hair, I tell them no and they keep the same hairstyle for years. I go shopping with them (and this rarely happens), I tell them how stupid they look in those … Continue Reading →

I guess this is a good place to state that Calvin is also my Pa’s name. Yup, I was named after my father but don’t call me a Junior. I am not a Junior, damn it. I can recall being young and adamant that no one ever call me a Junior. “I have a middle name and he does not so that technically means I am not a Junior,” I would … Continue Reading →

Alex Giassa has a pretty interesting story. After living in New Jersey for 40 years and being married for over a decade, Alex decided the path he was on might not be the one he wanted to stay on. He asked for a separation from his wife (they remain separated but have stayed close friends), sold their home and drove cross country to California. After a six-month stint in San … Continue Reading →

My friend Jeffrey J. Rojas calls me up the other day and tells me that he’s got some invite he wants me to join him for. A preview of evening gowns designed by some Russian broad who I’m sure is able to “design” a collection thanks to taking her gown off for the right billionaire tycoon some many moons ago. I’m not sure how J.J. knew anyone in that group but he … Continue Reading →
