Most Awesome Week Ever. 2.2
Jan 8 - Jan 14 really stepped it up for the new year. I’d say that even if it wasn’t only the second week of 2012, pinky swear. Recappalous:
First ever Lincoln Center audition. Lincoln Center, you guys. My favorite place in all of New York City (tied with my fountain, obvs). The most incredible pieces of art come out of these buildings and I got to wander through the basement, where...

A Love Letter to the Ones Who Move Here Next.
You’re in New York City.
They will be prettier than you,
smarter than you,
faster than you,
ahead of you,
bolder than you,
better dressed than you,
more cutthroat than you,
pushier than you,
and a million other things that you will see every day.
They came from small towns just like yours
with big dreams - just like yours.
They, too, were the school president,
the cheerleader,

The Joy of Quiet in today’s NYTimes.
Favorite part: “I just take walks and read and lose myself in the stillness, recalling that it’s only by stepping briefly away from my wife and bosses and friends that I’ll have anything useful to bring to them.”
Favorite irony: reading it on my Mac which was positioned next to my iPad which was just next to my iPhone while some TV show...

EDIT: Parents aren't home on a friday night
normal people: throw a huge party, invite everyone, get out all the alcohol and make it a night to remember
me: sing my favourite song at the top of my lungs, dance around like a slut, stay on the internet all night and eat all the food in my house.
Um, yes, I'd like to EDIT this post with the following revision:
PEOPLE IN MOVIES: throw a huge party, invite everyone, get out all the alcohol and make it a night to remember
EVERYONE IN REAL LIFE: sing my favourite song at the top of my lungs, dance around like a slut, stay on the internet all night and eat all the food in my house.
(lastly, "normal" doesn't exist. xoxo, a future you.)

Most Awesome Week Ever. 52.
We’ve made it, friends. 52 full weeks of one glorious year! I’m pretty fucking shocked that I actually did one of these for every week. Kind of tempted to print them out & bind them into a little book but more into the idea of releasing these weeks into the world and moving into this next adventure of 2012. Isn’t that how this life thing goes anyway? So for one last time of...

Most Awesome Week Ever. 51.
Last two posts. Ready? Here we go! Week 51 was December 18-24 and any week involving Christmas Eve is obviously awesome. Here’s why else:
The play ‘Suicide Incorporated’ at Roundabout Theatre Company was just as intense as the title sounds but also, luckily, funny and seriously well done. Some incredible actors and direction.
Attempting to go to Macy’s during Christmas...

Most Awesome Week Ever. 50.
Ladies & Gents. Down to the wire. Week 50 was December 11-17 and it. was. awesome. Mainly because I’m alive, healthy, happy and surrounded by love. However, these other things didn’t hurt:
Best friend’s boyfriend’s birthday on 12/16. One of my favorite people in the whole world’s birthday on 12/17.
I (super luckily) got to see HAND TO GOD at Ensemble Studio...

The Prisoner Allegory →
ronen-v:
I once formulated an allegory that had a big impact on my life, and has made an impact on the lives of others since. Enough people have recently asked me to share it that I’m going to.
Image you are in a prison.
Locked in a solitary cell.
For 7 years.
7 Years, you spend banging against the door, screaming, begging, to be let out.
Then, after seven years of banging and screaming,...

You guys. Internets. Friends. Strangers.
I have fallen off my Most Awesome Week Ever horse.
Fallen off, yes, but now? Getting back on!
The good news here is that somewhere right around week 35 is when I finally began to settle into my life in this beautiful city. I don’t know what happened except I just decided I should accept living here as a gift that lots of people don’t ever...

Today was my 61 delta flight, 90th something of the year. I almost didn’t make my flight thanks to Baltimore traffic. I’ll blame my anxiety on the traffic and weather patterns. After getting through security I walked right to my gate and on to the plane. Damier bags in the overhead and sat down in…
