Something Like Olivia Contest: My Entry!

I finally took my writing ideas to film by entering a contest for John Mayer and I love it!!!!! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of my friend who played Olivia, Erika Hofman, my crazy lovable friend also in the video, Elizabeth Schwartz, and of course the wonderful people & places of NYC. Click the pic below to check out the video and please… Enjoy!

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 10

10. A song that makes you sad –

JONI MITCHELL – BOTH SIDES NOW

Mainly makes me sad because of how I heard it the first time in the scene from Love Actually, then quickly associated it with any sad love moment in my life all at once. Either way, its a beautiful song…

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 6

6. A song that makes you want to dance –

KES – WOTLESS

This is my friends band from Trinidad. Hes pretty much blown up and worldwide and too cool for me by now, but either way, I have pictures to prove we hung out lol!

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 3

3. A song that reminds you of summertime –

DYSTOPIA – THE EARTH IS ON FIRE

I heard this song when in my first summer as a citizen of NYC. Will always remind me walking down 5th ave, melting, but like I still owned the world…

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 1

I’m starting a 30 day Music challenge just for a little introspection and the melancholy lifestyle that winter tends to have me prescribe to:

1. A song you like with a color in the title

Miles Davis – Blue in Green

[#769-#788]: Last Twenty Dollars and the Post Turkey reasons to be happy

Back in Miami, if I were to spend all day inside I would be shunned and forced to spend tomorrow all day in the sun and have my skin burned as punishment.

But here in the city its cold, and I have every reason to enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers and Somethings Gotta Give for the 14th day in a row. If Showtime plans on playing it, I plan on watching it.

Either way I was productive. I spent all day applying for jobs and writing, because I have no fricking choice but to. I need a new job like the Catholic Church needs a new reputation.

In my solitude, I found a song that pretty much played it all out beautifully.

Mozella – “My Last $20”

(counting as 20 beautiful reasons)

She sings :

“I’m not lookin’ for love I’m just tryin’ to make rent
And i miss my family and i miss the way I used to be
The better half of me you simply refused to see
And it’s kinda cold outside
And you turn me away and say you’re not Hiring today

‘Cause I’m down to my last 20 dollars
And I’m down to my last nerve
And I’m hoping to find the respect I deserve”

I wish that I had the option of a musical response to most questions.

How are you? Whats new? Hows work? Hows your love life?

Then I could just play that song.
