pity party

Today the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) raised fare prices. The only people I have talked to (who) are in favor of this hike have been upper middle-class workers. They seem to have forgotten what it was like to be student or someone with a fixed income. Sometimes its hard knowing that the city you love so much, may not want you.

Anyway, expect some posts featuring work from my other classes this semester. I realize that time is running out. It won't be long before I'm to busy to make blog entries again. Currently, I seem to be going through some type of design ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.) Hopefully, everything will even out and I will complete one of the (many) projects I have created for myself, by summer's end. Oh, and before I forget, The Common Threads Art Committee (for which I am a member and cofounder) just got accepted to be apart of a street festival happening this upcoming October on 14 st (NYC.) We spent 2 days writing up a proposal and I must say, I am ecstatic that our hard work paid off! So I guess, my pity party is over after all. See 'ya soon

Walk MS

Some of you may not know this, but I lost two of my friends last month, one (Adam) died in his sleep and the other (Mrs. Rose) was unable to over come her long-time battle with Multiple Sclerosis. In her honor and to also in support of her son, my friend Bejay, I will be participating in New York City’s Walk MS event on Sunday, April 19. I am raising $100. If anyone would like to donate $5 to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, just click on the link below. There, you will be given a link to either “Donate to Grace” or “Donate to Participant.”

If you don’t have $5 to give (I know what times we live in) just tell some of your friends about it. Thank you in advance,

Thank you Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau

for recouping $175 million for the city of New York.   You may not have gotten a lot of press coverage, but I appreciate it.
