    A message to guys from me, an amazing girl that will never be your GF:

    1.) When texting…don’t say “Hey Liz. What’s up?” I would reply, but I hate being called Liz - and if you listened when I was talking to you, you would have remembered that. Also, how am I supposed to respond to “What’s up?” I didn’t contact you first. Would you like to know if you could see me? Or if I would like to hang out? Or how I am? I like there to be a point when texting - especially in the early stages of friendship. (I know I’m not like most girls) Talking on the phone is a lost art. Try it sometime. You can find out more.

    2.) When friends on facebook… Don’t like my posts every day especially when you are “liking” 10 other girl’s posts. I mean, I know I post cool shit. I am a cool girl and I like cool things. When guys are trying to get your attention they “like” everything you do in hopes that you will crush on them - which makes them feel validated and wanted. This however, is gross and trolling. Especially at night.

    3.) When you want to get to know someone better, you ask them on “dates” (in real life). Not on facebook. I know that this can be daunting and scary, and there are so many girls to choose from in NYC…but dating is also a lost art that can be a lot of fun! I don’t want to go on bad dates, so I don’t do it a lot. And if you were one of the ones that I would have wanted to go on a date with, or if I gave you my attention for a minute, then consider yourself a lucky man. I saw something special in you. But you will never know now.

    4.) You need a good woman. Women make men complete. We allow you to express your true selves. We make you better, whole. We encourage you. We nurture you. We allow you to evolve into your best self. We hug you and kiss you, even when you smell bad. We teach you things. We are stronger than you - not physically, but in every other way. We show you what love and life truly is.

    If you don’t have a woman that does the above things then do not stay in your relationship. So many men stay in horrible, sad, stale, lackluster relationships because they are afraid to be alone. But in being alone for a few months you learn so much more about yourself and what you need that you become a better mate for the next girl. We all deserve to be happy in this life. And we all deserve to be loved.

    (If you do have this then hold on and treat that girl right!)

    Just something I was thinking about… or perhaps a reaction rant.

    Snow Poem

    The snow falls like glitter and lands on the sidewalk. I look down to see the reflections of it glistening like dead souls surrounding me. They glint with gorgeous light - reflecting, reminding me… I’m not the same as I was before - we all change into something more.

    I walk through it. I walk alone… I walk through it; it doesn’t stop me, but it makes me slowly examine my steps. And onward without falling, I think that maybe this year I should buy those expensive snow boots and not as much vodka or fleeting fun, but then I remember… It only happens occasionally.

    Thoughts on a New Year...

    I know that this year will be my best year yet! I have thought this of every year (for the past few years), and it becomes true. Little by little. Through work - on oneself…in life. We craft ourselves from our experiences. Use them how you want or they will use you.

    Life is about the little steps. Of course, that can seemingly suck-a-big-one at times. But who wants to take an elevator to “Heaven”? You miss all the good stuff. I’d rather take the spiral staircase - go through the doors, look out the windows, jump into the deep end, get burnt, heal, get better, sing, dance, laugh, run, ponder, wander, sleep. Kiss. Love.

    To have all of the human experiences. However high or low…the good, the bad, the ugly. If you think about it, the worst things can make you stronger than you could ever imagine - you transform into something more.

    I believe in something more. I am something more. I believe in art and music, truth, love and laughter. The beautiful and the dirty, the blissful and the disturbing; the love, the loss, the lulls.

    I believe in change. In Evolution. I don’t believe in magic. I believe in work.

    Ode to NYC Summer

    BiG Love… letting go of… blocks building up.

    Buildings, like mazes… push me away.

    Push me to a place where there are edges.

    Edges, like ends of sidewalks… where I get lost.

    Lost, never lost, if there’s no direction.

    Never found, if you don’t allow the connection.

    Turn around. What is happening now?

    Happenings, scheduling, wishful thinking for what is coming…

    Coming down the street.

    This graffiti is on my street in Gowanus. Pretty cool. Much better than the words ARSE FACE which is just to the left. Check out more of my PHOTOS FROM FEBRUARY.
