I never want to drive through the state of pennsylvania ever again. that was the longest drive EVER! i do have to say upstate ny is quite beautiful. lush green rolling hills speckled with red barns. it's pretty surreal seeing it when you think about the concrete jungle of nyc.

tip #1 - if you plan on driving to cooperstown make sure that you bring plenty of CD because you will subjected to soft rock, country music, ameri-rock and classic vh1 hits.

I feel like this. i don't know if i'm exhausted from the past few weeks of surgery, recovery, panama, recovery and then this show that has got me feeling all antsy. i'm also overwhelmed by this fulbright application. it's all encompassing and draining. i can't sleep and i eat only because i feel like i'm suppose to when my stomach starts to burn even though i have no desire to eat.

i need a vacation or a spa treatment so i can feel rejuvenated.

My 1st Exhibition in Chelsea

a big 1st for me. it's good to be recognized for your hard efforts. it was hot as sin in the gallery and very crowded and i even had my own little cheerleader section. i'm convinced that all the black folks that attended were people i invited.

thanks to all that attended and for those that missed the opening the show is still until August 11th. go get cultured!

good googly moogly

so like i haven't posted on this mofo in YEARS! YEARS i say. the last bitch&moan recorded was like before the wedding. i just spent 1.5 hrs going through the old bitch&moans and was like damn yo. i sure did waste a of keystrokes whining. i was obnoxious and unhappy as hell. i did however, find some real gems through all that. i've decided to keep those on this blog for the following reasons:

1. inspiration
2. reconition of my personal growth
3. homage to my losses

i've grown so much since i left new york and i guess progression is something you can only realize with time. i'm the happiest i've ever been in life. i'm married with a year and some change under my belt. i'm actually living my dream as an artist and learning so much in graduate school. i'm actually astonished at how much i've soaked up. it was a bumpy start but i think next to marriage grad school has changed the course of my life and was the best possible thing to happen to me. oh and i got a dog!

man there's so much to write about. hopefully i can play catch up and get it all down now that i have a sliver of downtime. i've been so blessed this past year and i truly believe that everything i do now must serve a purpose. i hope this blog will inspire those who are on the verge of giving up to keep pushing and pursuing...
