Back again

Well well, been a while hasn't it. Over two weeks! Lots happened since then, and lots hasn't happened. Still no job, though things are looking up on the horizon. In the interim I played a gig I haven't yet been paid for, got in business with a temp staffing agency I haven't yet worked for, and I got an apartment I haven't yet slept in. But things are looking up! At least I'm not stuck on the smelly streets of Inwood Heights.
 Melinda had surgery, got out of it and back home, went in for surgery again today. Peter and Britney had a child, Andy, and he's amazing. I saw Liz and Guille and their kids, saw John and more fam. I've been going to museums and concerts with Anna, saw Lucky Chops, saw the Philharmonic, saw the Warriors win the NBA finals.
As I said, things are looking up. I've been eating good food on family dimes, I'd feel bad about it but I've learned to enjoy good food when I can get it. I may start an online radio station.
I'm playing music, I need to play more. Need to get a small drum set, a cheap keyboard, and just go out and gig. Wherever, whoever will take me. I need it.
Losing steam, this wasn't meant to be a long post anyway.
Here's Buddy Miles with "Them Changes", a song title Thundercat just used for the single off his new EP. I'm excited for that.

Back

Been a long long time since I wrote. Should I even reflect on graduation? I'll post some buzzwords for my own remembering. Getting up early, Friday show was great, played with Metrophono again for my parents and other parents it was really nice, rapped, saw Mad Max with Thuto, had Class Day, Eric Garcetti was awesome Garcetti 2024, sat with Davis and Yuan and co.  Went to lunch after with Denis, Melinda, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Steve and Andrea. Really nice lunch. Fiori?  long cab ride to get there.  Wednesday saw commencement, sat with GS, it was really great. More early wakeups. Kevin was there went and took pictures, walked into the radio station and the board was there and met my family.  After we went to Artopolis for a final crepe, then we went downtown and walked near NYU, ate at Babbo, and went to Wogie's bar after. Fun times, hung out with Kevin's friends. After that I went to a rooftop lounge, at...The Matriarch? Matador? Near the empire state building. Hung out with Dan and Tim and met their German friends. Then ubered with the rich Germans to The Jane, which was fun because my friends were there. Danced with Metrophono and GS people. Went home around 1:30 because
I had to get up at 9am to clean my room to move out. Columbia has no chill. After moving my stuff down to Brooklyn Heights hung out with parents, talked about the future, still nervous about it.
Sidenote: currently watching wheel of fortune and Pat Sajak just said "why is it the days drag and the years go by so fast?"  Wow thanks Pat now I'm feeling great.
Anyway Thursday and Friday and Saturday saw various family hangouts, saw my brother and his friends some more, got breakfast with him and Jessie. Two days ago Jessie Wyatt stopped in New York for lunch before going to England.  I also got dinner with Peter and Britney, who is due to give birth tomorrow.
These last two weeks or so since graduation have been a blur of apartment hunting, job applications and family hanging out.  Right now its between a place in Crown Heights and at 125th and Broadway.  Inwood Heights and Washington Heights weren't very cool.
Eating reheated Chinese food now. I'll miss Brooklyn Heights luxury. I actually will though. But looking forward to the future!
Music?
