New York City Between her and me, it was certainThat a poem would mean curtainsFor my attempts of its capture,Of her nature and demeanor Many have tried beforeTo romanticize New YorkAnd while they have failedI shall also humbly trail! Beauty in Rust or rustic charm? I am in love with her cast iron uglinessAnd dare[…]
The broken, inside out plane set at Universal Studios, like L.A was fake, disarrayed and expensivePrimarily it is the blatant farce that prevents me from ever liking Los Angeles. Sure, there is a beach. And yes, it doesn’t have slushy dark long winters. But, amidst those perfectly tanned blondes and expensive convertibles, lies a city[…]
To be fairly honest, when I first began with you, I never thought of us having a meaningful long lasting future. And that’s a fair statement considering I started with you one summer’s day, three years ago this time. It was in the afternoon, if I remember correctly, and I had run out of things[…]

But that doesn’t stop me from conjuring grand dreams of perfectly fitting branded denims at bargain prices. I further optimistically[…]
“By the time, I add cream and sugar and walk back to my desk, the coffee is only mildly warm at best. Does the coffee warmer even work?” I started the Monday morning with this rant to my colleague at work. He nodded and said, “But…” I really wasn’t finished complaining. So I simply continued.[…]
