NY STATE OF MIND....



I wish to take you on a journey that I believe everyone should take at least once if possible...NYC. I always heard alonys you will LOVE New York. Alonys, I can't believe you've never been to New York was often said in conversation. I sit here now proud to say I have been to the city and I love it very much. We were fortunate to experience different parts of New York either by foot, cab, or courtesy of our friends T-Weaponz (IZ,ARK,and PSALMS). It truly was an amazing experience.

I tried to take notes as I often attempt to do while traveling. After a few too many hangovers the details start to fade away....good times...good times.

Our trip started at midnight...I really did have to pinch myself a couple times while boarding the plane. It didn't seem real WE WERE FINALLY GOING TO NYC! Fingazz and I always wanted to go, and we finally were about to have that moment.

........

No trip can begin without a drink at the airport before your flight. Unfortunately the only place available served beer exclusively and just our luck it was flat . I almost wished I hadn't given into the temptation. Too late. I have committed and the only thing that will redeem this moment is a vodka tonic on the plane. Drink up.

I thought I would be tired when we arrived at JFK, but I was just too excited to sleep. We really were in New York City. Next destination, our hotel.

To Be Continued....

THERE'S MUCH MUCH MORE BUT I MUST CONTINUE AT A LATER TIME...MY ESPRESSO IS WEARING OFF....ENJOY THE PICS....

UNTIL ANOTHER MOMENT IN TIME.....MANY ALONYS KISSES.

MANY ALONYS KISSES.

NY STATE OF MIND PT.2

LET ME START BY SAYING THAT I REALLY HAD EVERY INTENTION OF WRITING THE BLOG OF MY LIFE ABOUT MY TRIP TO NYC. IT WOULD ONLY BE APPROPRIATE SINCE I HAD QUITE THE TIME OF MY LIFE! BUT IN HONOR OF THE NY MINUTE THIS BLOG WILL BE ABOUT THAT LONG COMPARED TO THE PAST BLOGS....BUT THAT IS GOOD, BECAUSE THAT MEANS I'VE BEEN HELLA BUSY SINCE RETURNING AND HAVE LESS MINUTES FOR THE PAST..THE FUTURE IS NOW.

I PLAN TO RETURN SOONER THAN LATER SO THERE WILL DEF. BE MORE NYC BLOGS IN THE FUTURE. IF I GET A CHANCE I WILL TRY TO RECAP AND EXPLAIN WHY EACH PLACE WAS SO SPECIAL, ETC. UNTIL THEN I HOPE THE PICTURES TELL SOMEWHAT OF A STORY....

JUST KNOW I LOVED NYC AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE ENERGY OF THE INFAMOUS NYC! SEE YOU SOON. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY T-WEAPONZ AND AMALIA!!! AND ALSO THE NEW ONES WE MADE ON OUR TRIP. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE MANY SIDES OF NY AND MAD LOVE! SEE YOU SOON. WEST COAST TO EAST COAST AND BACK AGAIN...ITS ALL LOVE!

WE WENT TO DINNER AT THE PERFECT PINT NEXT DOOR WITH CEEHAZ OF T-WEAPONZ AND HIS COUSIN GABE WHO LATER SHARED HIS MUSICAL TALENTS WITH US IN A PRIVATE 'STUDIO' SESSION @ THE QT. THE COLLABORATION WAS REFRESHING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE. IT WAS DEF. NICE TO MEET GABE.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE SIRIUS HEADQUARTERS. THE VIEW...WOW! FCKIN AMAZING! THERE ARE NO WORDS. YOU COULD SEE EVERYTHING....SO HIGH UP...EVERYONE WAS REALLY NICE AND THE BUILDING WAS AMAZING. I WAS HAPPY TO HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THAT DIAMONIQUE "THE COUNTDOWN" AND ANYTHING FINGAZZ "ON THA' TRACK"! MUAH!

OVERALL THE TRIP WAS AMAZING. I WISH I COULD PUT EVERY DETAIL AND CONVEY EVERY EMOTION I EXPERIENCED. THE STREETS CARRIED SCENTS OF SO MANY DIFFERENT FOODS. THE MORNING AIR BROUGHT THE SMELL OF WAFFLE CONE INTO MY HOTEL ROOM...THE SOUNDS OF THE STREETS...YOU TRULY COULD MAKE A BEAT JUST LISTENING TO THE SOUNDS OF THE STREETS.

AS CHEESY AS IT MAY BE TO SOME MY ONE REGRET WAS NOT SEEING SATC ON OPENING WEEKEND IN THE CITY. SEEING SEX IN THE CITY THE MOVIE IN THE CITY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EQUIVALENT TO A PERFECT COSMOPOLITAN. I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE MEMORIES, MORE TREKS DOWN THE STREET, AND MORE CITY.

UNTIL ANOTHER MOMENT IN TIME...MANY ALONYS KISSES.
