January 31, 2012 Great timesIt was so beautiful out today, we decided to ditch the studio and hit the park.
Just me and my two bros, Joel and Free.
Put on some sweat pants, some sneakers, and went out to play some hand ball.
Just like in high school :)
It was one of the best afternoons I had in years.
So looking forward to summer!
January 30, 2012 Huffin and puffinHad my first Wii experience today.
A little late, but awesome nonetheless.
All I know is the days of sitting on your couch and playing Super Nintendo are over. . .
This thing requires real energy!
Played the Wii Sports boxing game and I thought I was gonna faint after 3 rounds.
Literally had to sit down and take a layer off. . . lol
If I can't make it to the gym, I'm going upstairs to my neighbors and playing me some Wii boxing!
January 29, 2012 Gotta prepare.Really wanted to go get some soul food today.
There's this one spot in Harlem I've been craving for years!
But you know what?
Candied yams
Frid chicken
Hash puppies
Collard greens
Black eyed peas
It's all so tasty, but health wise, not the best.
Gonna spend the next few weeks eating super healthy, so that I can go hit the Soul food spot with a clean conscience in about a month. . .
January 28, 2012 Just admit you made a mistake!They have these little short busses in NY, that cross the George Washington Bridge.
Instead of paying $10 and driving across, you can just park your car and take the bus for $2.
It's a great service.
Anyway, I was on my way back to Jersey when all of a sudden, this lady in the back of the bus started screaming at the driver.
Turns out she thought the bus was going downtown, but freaked out when she saw him turning towards the bridge.
She could have just informed the driver that she made a mistake, and stepped off.
But no.
She insisted on yelling at the poor guy because he "was supposed to let [her] know where the bus was going!!!!"
Um. . . actually, no, it just says the destination on top.
This annoying lady just wouldn't get off, and kept on spazzing out at the driver - until certain passengers, including yours truly, started yelling back at her!
Man, New York can sure be a zoo sometimes. . . hahahahaha. . . but you gotta LOVE IT!!!!
January 27, 2012 Guilty!Rain is Teething.
And she's nibbling on everything in sight.
Today I caught her chewing up my favorite guitar stand.
After I yelled at her, she gave me such an apologetic look. . . I just didn't have the heart to discipline her.
What a manipulator! She knows I'm weak to her cuteness.
What would you have done?
January 26, 2012 Woof?I have a friend in Nashville who raised a bunch of dogs.
He also raised one deer - together with the dogs.
The story gets real interesting when the deer started thinking it was one of the bunch, and began picking up on their canine behavior.
When people would come over, it would run all up on them, excited like a puppy.
It would have been funny, other than that by this time, this deer was the size of a mid size cow.
Imagine a deer that size running up towards you, trying to sniff your clothes and jump on you when you get home.
It also started jumping up on cars.
That's when they had to release the him into the wild. . .
January 25, 2012 Katz's DeliDowntown on a Tuesday night, we were starving.
There was only one option that everyone agreed on.
Katz's Deli.
Hands down.
Katz's is New York at its purest form.
There is no better Potato Knish in the world.
"It would not have been possible for Katz’s Delicatessen to survive three depressions, numerous recessions and two World Wars if Katz’s wasn’t the best deli in NYC".
January 24, 2012 "Tears in Heaven". "Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven. . . "
Eric Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven" (together with Will Jennings) about his 4-year-old son Conor, who died after he fell out of a 53rd floor window in a New York City apartment.
To be able to transform such a tragic loss into such a profound piece of music is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention, being able to perform it.
I would have not been able to get through a single verse, had I gone through such an thing. that's for sure.
Eric Clapton is simply inspirational.
January 23, 2012 Nachoooooooo!Heard they're thinking of making a sequel to Nacho Libre.
That would be incredible.
Nacho goes to Japan.
To whom it may concern:
Please, please, please make this happen!!!
January 22, 2012 Wooooooooooooooo!!!!!Once in a while, we hear a crazy loud boat horn.
Like, stupid loud.
Like, shake-all-the-windows-in-the-house loud.
I know this sounds crazy, but I think one of our neighbors installed one on his car.
Not sure who it is though.
If I do find out, I'm so gonna ask him (or her - but I'm assuming its a guy) to borrow it. . .
January 21, 2012 Happy New Year!Is there an expiration date to "Happy New Year" greetings?
When is it no longer appropriate to say?
1 week into January?
2 weeks?
3 weeks?
Someone greeted me with "Happy New Year" today.
Not like I took offense or anything, lol, but it was surprising.
It is technically the Chinese New Year this weekend. . . but neither one of us is Chinese. . .
What do you think?
January 20, 2012 Socks to be me right now!Is it really necessary to fold your socks?
I mean, they don't really need to look good. . .
Sure, if you have a bunch of different, unmatched pairs, it's understandable.
But I don't
Most of my socks are exactly the same.
Think I'm done folding socks.
Let it be known.
Super psyched!
January 19, 2012 Ormie the pig.My new favorite!
'Nuff said.
January 18, 2012 You wanna pi'tcha ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Walking through Washington Square park, on my way to Bleeker St., I witnessed something extremely blog worthy!
A group of tourists were taking pictures.
They noticed a homeless guy sleeping, which apparently made them feel artistic.
So they started taking pictures of him with different angles of the city behind him.
After about a minute or so, they guy wakes up and sees all these people standing around him, snapping their cameras and cell phones away.
So he did the most logical thing.
He whipped out his penis and started teetering towards the group.
"You wanna pi'tcha?!?! - here's a pi'tcha for ya's!!!!!!!!!!!
They all ran out the park sooooo fast. . . .
I had to sit down for about 10 minutes and just laugh that sh*t off.
January 16, 2012 Don't you love me?Never realized how difficult it is to concentrate on work when facing a cute puppy who wants to play.
I spent all day at the studio, mixing from morning till night time in my pajamas.
But Rain had other plans.
All she wanted to do was go outside and jump around.
I let her out on her own, but apparently my attendance was required.
So we played once, we played twice, three times, four. . . but it's never enough!
Each time I sat down to mix, she rested her head on my lap and gave me the most miserable look she could manage to pull off.
You would think no one ever played with her. . .
And as if that didn't work, she began to sadly drag doggie toys onto my feet, in hopes of reaching a guilt level high enough to make me leave the studio.
And it worked.
I was defeated by the manipulative puppy.
But then again, how can you say no to this face?
HANAN!!! OMG!!! SHES SOOOOO CUUTTEEE!!!!!
You got a Pit???
Alter, she's not "the cutest". Maya is. Just so you know :D

January 15, 2012 Can you hear me now? In the studio, when someone is recording in the live room, you can communicate with them via a microphone that is located in the control room.
That microphone is usually on the recording desk, and you need to press a button to activate it.
Most pro studios have a remote control for this feature.
It's always so funny when people press the talk back remote and then speak directly into it.
As if the microphone was in the remote.
That will never get old!
January 14, 2012 Wake up!If you can't get out of bed in the mornings, I saw the product you need!
It's an alarm clock on wheels, called "Clocky".
If you want to turn it off, you literally have to get your behind out of bed and chase it.
Hahahahahaha!!!!!
What a great idea!!!!
January 13, 2012 NYC copsAs a general rule, NYC cops are pretty damn cool.
At least when compared to out of town cops.
For the most part, they really don't bother you with petty things.
They have actual crimes to worry about. . .
The cops where I grew up are different.
Their highpoints are fire drills and kittens in trees, and so they tend to be real quick to pull you over.
Even if you didn't do anything, and they simply think you should be questioned.
But then again, I guess it's better to have annoying cops than violent crimes. . .
January 12, 2012 Plan ahead!One friday evening, a cop was staking out a rather rowdy bar for possible DUI violations.
After last call, he sees some dude stumble out of the front door, trip on the curb, and proceeding to try his keys on five different cars before finding his.
The guy sits in the front seat and fumbles around with his keys for several minutes.
After everyone else leaves the bar and drives away, he finally succeeds in starting his engine and begins to pull away.
The police officer, who was waiting for him, turns on his siren and pulls the driver over.
After reading him his rights, he administers a Breathalyzer test, but the results show a reading of 0.0.
"How that is that possible?!" asks the baffled officer.
"Tonight," replies the driver, "I'm the Designated Decoy."
January 11, 2012 What?!Check out two of my all time favorite drummers: Roy Haynes & Jack DeJohnette.
Not drumming, but tap dancing!
Talk about being well rounded. . . whew!
