“Have you been writing?” As annoying as it is, I’m always grateful when Allan or Yasmein ask me that. “I know you have pictures and you always have a story… so, what’s the problem?” Allan, not allowing me to make excuses about writer’s block. “I know, honey, but...
I love this city, I hate it sometimes, too. In an effort to keep track of my feelings about the Big Apple during my time here I try my best to chronicle them in a letter to this crazy place. Welcome to Dear New York–a series posted...
I can’t hang. I mean, I can. But not the way I used to. On Friday I went to dinner with my girlfriends. A catch up session that turned into us closing the restaurant down (if I recall, correctly). The drinks were two for one. And by that I...

By now I'm sure you've seen the video of walking through an airport in New York. He's returning home presumably to get ready for his Adidas release and not-so-secret something taking place presentation during New York Fashion Week.

If we're to believe the New York Times, falling in love is as simple as answering 37 questions and then making direct eye contact. I read an article stating such in bed early one Monday (after hitting snooze twice) and decided that I believed it. While I...
I hated for a minute that I got caught up in the hype of starting a New Year and the subsequent New Year, New Me attitude that follows. You guys know I take stock in my life, evaluating what can enter a new year with me...
