NEW YORK, NY – You know how most people celebrate President’s Day by traveling, shopping, or some other leisurely activity?

I know this sounds strange, but everything with my father [...]

Silverlake, Los Angeles–The Priuses (Priusii?) circled the block looking for parking, a Buddhist monk named Lama laughed at a commercial with vampires disintegrating in front of Audi headlights, smokey aroma from the carne asada on the grill–from that carniceria in Compton–filled the air…the Super Bowl party I went to probably wasn’t much like the one [...]

Cayman Islands–Hip Hop entrepreneur Birdman made a little news this week by saying he was putting a $5 million bet on the Patriots this Sunday. I don’t know if he’s still in Alcatraz or not, but that’s just silly, even rude…and yes, wimpy. If he was really a gambling man, I think he should be [...]

LOS ANGELES, CA – It was overcast out here this morning, having rained the other night and the skies still a bruised grey.
