BK has been my place of slumber the past 2 days
ryan and i have our morning routine down.........
during our 830am stroll to the train
I am reminded of our, “never a dull moment”, friend dan’s shenanigans last night:
He didn’t want to travel downtown from 43rd street to salt
Then was bombed hours later and wanted to meet us
Too bad it was midnight & we were headed home
That was only the beginning…
Texting ryan about how we was rejected from a club for being too drunk
Passed out on the bus ride home to jerz
Which then required him to walk 3 miles home at 4am
By some miracle a cab drives up to him
He asks for a ride, surely the driver is alarmed by
A) his breathe
B) the size of him, he is a big dude
c) the fact that it is 4am in the middle of no where and this drunken, bald, beastly (Christmas Vacation) man is halfway in his front window
Needless to say his request is turned down
….Dan punches off his driver side mirror
the driver then floors the cab at him in reverse
the image I get in my head is
dan screaming in the middle of nowhere are 4am fist a’blazin and blood vessels popping out of his eyes
the story continues on but I don’t think I can go there
que the black screen and a to be continued…
Reliving this via text at 830am not knowing if he got home or was in jail……not fun
being able to eventually laugh about it…..PRICELESS
though, i do not condone this behavior, it is funny
he is very lucky to have woken up at all let alone in his own bed and not behind bars
i am perched in the window on 7th ave and 49th street with a banana and a coffee
frantically i am checking emails, bloggin, uploading photos and finally arranging meal plans
(in that order HENCE frantic)
on to MID CITY GYM for a pump sesh and some cardio
at the counter, i see a display for GRIPADS
Gym Gloves
will maximize fitness results and minimize limitations like: calluses, blisters, sore hands, sweat, bad odors, color staining, clumsy appearance, sizing issues, and other conditions that limit training abilities.have been looking for something other than gloves to wear while working out......will let you know what I think
ok back to starbucks
emailing atlanta contacts
confirming appointments
and searching
where else can i get my fanny in for a meeting?
I’ve decided
I am staying in a hotel tonight
my family always stays at the Lombardy
but for some reason i was all about the Tribecca Grand
& it was CHEAPER!
SWEET, always have wanted to stay there
Make some calls and it is set
Plan is to check in before heading out this evening
In walks Lauren farell a dear friend I try ot make a point of seeing when I am in the area
We walk and chat while enjoying the beautiful day that is upon us.
We stumble across Block Head’s
an outdoor restaurant bar that I frequented when I lived in town
our hour consists of
giggling & listening, discussing nutrition, boys, work and life
instead of going immediately back to BK I want to shop
urban outfitters (like we don’t have a thousand in la):Mission!
DSW, might as well take a look:Mad house
Whole foods for a quick nibble:Full on BRAWL for a bite
forgot I was in union square
I noticed that I have become what used to so badly annoy me
a slow, mellow A NON-New Yorker
why is everyone rushing me!
JEEZZZ
Now at ryan’s I am primping and deciding weather or not I want to jump on ry’s board and show him up
Instead I watch, take pics and drink a bud
What the hell I’m with the boyz
Roof top sunset with 2 crazies and large beers…..what NY is all about
Once again we manage to get into acab that has no idea where he is going
How do you know know where the Tribecca Grand is?
Really?
REALLY? the view from the 7th floor balcony...ooh
I check in with a glass of raspberry champagne in hand
In the room riz cracks open a bottle of diddy
He pours it over some rocks and puts on some neon trees
Catching up with dan and neil I realize this could easily end up being our night
Let’s get this show in the road!
CAROLINE’S it is
A place I have known and loved for so many years
I started working there at the ripe age of 19
Kept some friends, one whom is still there as director of publicity
By there I mean working there, not there when he is supposed to be there meeting me there
Say my hellos with quick catchin up…headed to the STANDARD, boom boom room
Have you heard?
I didn’t make it that far,
the long nights and lack of sleep have caught up to me
CALLING IT A NIGHT
Back at the hotel the restaurant and bars are hopping,
but it just cant be done tonight
I know my body, and cannot afford to get sick right now
ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL ROOM AND A NEW DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
things i have learned today:
1.your friends are the ones that show up
if they cant they arent affraid to tell you that they cant
that is why they are held so dear
honesty is the best policy
2.things cant be contorled
people, feelings, outcomes or situations
enjoy the ride
like i said it is all about TIMING
3.put your health first
you cannot accomplish anything if you are not well
