NYC Pillow Fight

8:45 AM

My newest video that I edited of the NYC Pillow Fight.
It was held at Wall Street. Watch it!

My mom bought me front row tickets to see the show "Mystique" of Cirque du Soleil for my birthday once and I was amazed. There was so much going on and so much color that my eyes couldn't focus on one thing.

I love dance, theatre, art, musicals.....anything artistic I embrace.

So now that I'm in New York, I'm ecstatic to find out that there is a show called "Kooza" since Cirque du Soleil's

main shows are based in Las Vegas.

The show will be from April 16-June 21, 2009.

Hopefully, when things start to simmer down in my lifestyle I'll be able to grab a ticket and see this show. I don't care if anyone wants to go with me or not...I'll sit on the stage by myself if I have to. hahaha. I really want to see this show.

R.I.P. Agnes Edith Duffy

Agnes "Edith" Duffy
Dec 22, 1927 - April 27, 2009

My grandma, Agnes "Edith" Duffy on my step-dad's side passed away last week April 27, 2009 with cancer and pneumonia.

I found out through a text message late at night around 2:00am when I was just waking up for something to drink. It saddens me that I wasn't able to be there for my family being that I'm all the way in New York and my family is in California.

I know grandma Edith wasn't too happy about me moving to New York when I broke the news to her last Thanksgiving. She didn't want me to be so far away from the family. But I assured her I would be back this Christmas...and with that statement that just makes me sad that I won't be seeing her this Christmas aft

erall. Her funeral was yesterday and my mom was the one that organized it so I'm sure it turned out perfect. I know this is part of life's process but I can't help but feel bad at the same time...especially for Edith's husband, Paul. They were toget

her every waking day and I can't imagine how he's feeling right now. I can only be empathetic, understanding and supportive.

My mom put together a slideshow of pictures of Edith's timeline. My mom's really great at capturing and retaining memories. I guess that's where I get it from.
