that look
When they hold your gaze, their eyes laughing and their lips grinning ear to ear, and you don’t know what to do because you don’t know what they’re going to do, and it makes you nervous as much as you don’t know what to make of it.

my grandfather
So apparently today is my Grandpa Joe’s 90th birthday. I’m not really in communication with any of my extended family anymore, but here are some things I know about him:
-Intensely quiet. In all the times I visited them growing up, I can’t recall a single conversation we’ve had. (My grandma, by contrast, is extremely talkative.)
-Shot in the leg during WWII. Currently...

dear peter
Last night I woke up at 5AM and couldn’t sleep, and for some inexplicable reason, the name “Peter Gelles” popped into my head. I hadn’t thought of him in almost an entire year. In fact, it was one year ago that I had my first, and only, interaction with him. But I realized I hadn’t seen him appear in my Facebook newsfeed in months and, in a moment of self-loathing, I...

some awkward interactions with "famous" people...

When he asked me my name, I said: “I am Sam Marine and your’e going to remember me some day.”
Michael Showalter - At Purchase, my friend and I stood nervously...

weed from harlem
Met up with an ex last night, a Turkish immigrant who doesn’t usually smoke weed but is leaving for California, and back when I dated him I got high every day. So he tells me he has “some good shit,” and naturally (?) I assumed he’d want to smoke in honor of his leaving or whatever. I don’t do that much anymore, but he also says he’s moved out of Harlem to...

I Loved: Blue Valentine
It’s rare to find a “love story” as unflinching, honest, sincere and realistic as I found this one to be, and I’m glad that it’s gotten a decent amount of press (for an indie movie) due to the flipping of the former NC17 rating (for a scene involving Ryan Gosling going down on Michelle Williams… there is a God). It’s about living...
