Gay Talese On Tailoring…
September 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Fashion, La Familia
For a while now, I’ve gotten away from my fashion fascination on this blog. It’s never really gone anywhere, but I haven’t really been inspired aside from the good folks over at Street Etiquette.
But this past weekend, I was reminded of someone who was mentioned to me throughout my youth, the legendary Gay Talese. [...]

The single life…
September 25th, 2009 · 15 Comments · Mi Vida
After being in two relationships for the last seven years of my life, I am now a lone ranger.
Yes, the fine, intelligent, ambitious, Claudio Fabricio De Jesus Giovanni Cornelio Eduardo Cabrera is now single. I know, I got more middle names than Mutombo.
But as I’m now single, I figured I’d start this off with my [...]

Dominican Chronicles Vol 7: Dominican Politicians.
September 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments · My Hood, Politics
I think the worst time to live in the Heights/Inwood for me is when there are local elections. It really is.
For all you new residents, I know you can’t stand the noise coming from Mister Softee, salsa blaring from radios late night, and motorcycles. But me? I’m used to all this. I don’t even [...]

Thank you to everyone who came out to Vol. 2 at the beautiful Garden Cafe.

Till next time…

What I learned last week…
September 17th, 2009 · No Comments · La Familia
Sometimes, you forget how much your parents really love you.
I know, I know, it sounds crazy; but it’s true.
Growing up, you can sometimes walk out of the house not even saying bye to your parents. Or even shrugging off everything they tell you as them nagging. No one can deny any of these [...]

Dyckman Cultura Fest
September 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments · My Hood
As my friend over at Manhattan Speak would say, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “culture fest, but more of a street fair.”
All in all, it was my first time attending this event in Dyckman and I really enjoyed myself. It was nice to see something like this in our neighborhood.
Everyone seemed to get along [...]

I’m 25 years old.
I’m not someone who you would think of as an intern at this age. But I am a part-time one.
Three days out of the week, for fifteen hours, I go to Bleacherreport.com (from home) and edit, edit, and edit until my eyes bleed as Lil Wayne would say.
It’s something that I’m doing [...]
