Something new to me on my street

I live right next to STOMP. See if you can locate the theatre in this video. Also, times are tough even for super heroes.

An Image Archive

Have you ever wished for a blog that was just a collection of images, an archive of sorts, of things that represent trends in fashion, style, and cool? I found one! I started reading a blog that lead me to another blog that landed me here.

I love it! And, at the same time wish i'd come up with it. Here are a few things that caught my eye on it.

Billy Elliot








I was able to see an amazing play last friday night. A 10 time, Tony award winning play called Billy Elliot. The best show i've ever seen, with every part being played by the most talented performers I've ever seen. I was able to see that there is a very clear difference between good and great. The story centers around a boy with a gift, a gift that if nurtured could inspire a community, a community barely surviving. A cast of characters centered around the boy with the gift of ballet help him to finally find his way, but not without Billy Elliot having to fight prejudices, bigotry, and his own family to find out what he can truly achieve.

It was awe inspiring to see such a young performer being able to dance ballet perfectly, tap dance so skillfully, sing so poignantly, and the talent to act is off the chart. I walked away feeling that the only people we can blame for holding back people that can change the world for the better, are those people that stopped growing in their hearts and their minds before they could fulfill their own dreams. I hope everyone gets a chance to see this Elton John inspired play.

Nom Nom Nom on a Coney Island Dog

Yum!

My girlfriend's creativity knows no bounds. I unknowingly let her document my Coney Island dog eating skills. I was experimenting with the aperture settings on her camera and with the day being so cloudy, we came up with some interesting photos. I can't wait to share what we shot.
