You Don’t Understand What I Just Said? I’ll Speak Louder.
Living in NYC you come across a lot of folk who aren’t from here. A lot of these visitors (or residents) have either thick accents or speak limited english.
So why is it that when we (those who feel they speak english well or clearly) feel the need to shout or raise our voices to them [...]Popularity: 10% [?]

If You See Something Say Something
09.29.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsWhat I thought would be a seamless trip to the bank turned out to be an increasingly normal scenario when living in NYC. So hear I go walking through the turnstile and what do I see? The Cops, a bag, and an empty platform. Someone saw something so they said something.
You can’t leave a bag [...]

Unlimited Minutes: Limited Battery?
Free Nights and Weekends, great. A phone packed with features, wonderful. The ability to get through the day without having your battery run out on you, priceless.
Lets face it folks no matter how many features they put on your phone, no matter how many minutes they give you in those phone plans your [...]Popularity: 12% [?]

Summer Is Over: Please put your feet away!
Dr. Scholl’s Where Are You? There are only a few things I don’t like about summer. One is those whom where tank tops and shouldn’t; two, those whom think its OK not to where a shirt outside. And three, the people who where sandals and shouldn’t.
Thank goodness for Autumn and Winter. These are the [...]Popularity: 13% [?]

Everywhere You Go: Duane Reade
It is unfortunate that you see someone with a group of friends with ash on their elbow and arms. Do your friends not care for you enough to make you aware of this? Especially when you are of a dark complexion and it is clearly visible that you are turning a lighter shade than that [...]

Too Much TV: Are you really surprised?
09.24.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThis just in: We are watching more TV than ten years ago. In a recent report released by Nielsen they say we are watching four more hours than ten years ago. How is that possible? You have cable and satellite with over three hundred channels. Flat screen TV’s that can fit any and everywhere. So [...]

Perfumes, Colognes, Scented Lotions
I’m all for wanting to smell good. It’s great to be around people who do. And most people, if not all, will agree that being around someone (or something) that stinks isn’t all that wonderful. But I ask of you, (beg of you) please use these perfumes in moderation.
Why do folks saturate themselves with [...]Popularity: 10% [?]

Treat Them How You Want To Be Treated
Working in customer service can be a very rewarding experience no matter what type of venue (i.e. McDonald’s, Gap, Starbucks, or an MTA booth worker). You’ll learn a great deal about people and how they act or you’ll learn about yourself and how you react.
Sharing your smile or giving a warm greeting can change someone’s [...]Popularity: 6% [?]

Side Note: On My Way Home
Big things are happening in the city. Shout out to “IM.” You know who you are.
Walking through the subway you see many things; a homeless man lying on a bench scratching, digging and tugging at his private parts, all the while emitting an undesirable odor; a young Latin dude singing his heart out while playing [...]Popularity: 10% [?]

Your Balls Aren’t That Big
09.18.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsRiding on the trains of NYC is something I recommend for everyone. Not only will you find that it can be the most entertaining venue but you will also understand your limits and what you are willing to deal with.
This morning’s adventure was no different. It never ceases to amaze me how much room [...]Popularity: 9% [?]

Survivor: Cook Islands: Cooking up trouble?
Are the folks at CBS and Mark Burnett Productions cooking up trouble?
America is seen as a melting pot or more so referred to as one; we are actually a salad bowl. Why a salad bowl and not a melting pot? In a melting pot everything looks the same. This is truly not the case [...]Popularity: 4% [?]

Bad Hair Day
09.15.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI know it is raining in the city but there is a wardrobe for everything. Women have so many options to choose from with a store on every corner. One accessory that may work is a hat for days such as this one. I gather that some people aren’t aware of the existence of hats. [...]
