I have good news in the modeling world, I have been selected to be a main character in a film or commercial for a shoe company called Frye. http://stores.thefryecompany.com/StoreFront.bok We will be filming this coming Friday, Aug. 12th! I'm pretty excited about it. I have also been informed that castings for Fashion Week will start in a couple of weeks so I'll be sure to keep you posted as those begin.
I haven't had the opportunity to do anything overly exciting this week due to working so much but I can say that we've had some people worth noting come into the restaurant. The President of Calvin Klein, the head of the U.S. offices of Louis Vuitton, and a member of Obama's administration held his 50th birthday party with us. While these people are only human and are not any more important than you or I, I must admit it is pretty cool meeting them.
A friend of mine, Tony, who is from Hawaii and another friend, Daniel, who is from Sweden are both in town due to Fashion Week drawing close. It's really cool having these guys around, we all became close friends during the winter fashion week when we first met. Now that they are back we all hang out like we are old buddies, it's great to have them back. Speaking of buddies, I am missing home more so than normal this week. I had to break the bad news to a friend of mine whose wedding I'm going to be in that I can't make his bachelor party due to being selected to be in the commercial for Frye. Also, I had to miss out on my brothers annual weekend long "Preserve party", which entails hanging out on the PeeDee river all weekend, relaxing, going off rope swings, riding ATV's, listening to live music and eating good food. Hopefully I'll catch them next year!
That's it for now, I have enclosed a few pictures and the usual song/poem. One picture is of Brooklyn in the Greenpoint area(where I live) from "way back when". You'll notice the above ground train lines running through the streets. The other image is of me going off the rope swing down at the Preserve one year at the Preserve party and the last one is a pic taken of me at a casting call last week. Enjoy!
This poem deals with time. Notice how it starts out very simplistic in thought, almost childlike, and slowly progresses to more serious, mature matters. The point of the poem is to show that we should stop being so serious and be like children(the notion came to me after reading a book entiled "Heaven Is For Real by Todd Burpo), but knowing that can be hard to do even the poem progressively becomes more aged in tone yet struggles to remind itself to get lost in youth.
"If Time Were Mine"
If time were mine I'd get lost in the golden rays of sunshine, staring straight into her until I find I'm blind.
We'd love like there's no tomorrow and forget all our sorrows for our souls are only borrowed.
The heart of a child running wild as I sift my fingers through her golden locks and play in the mud with no shoes or socks.
I'd spend a stint in everlasting dark to appease the raining heart until it mends in search of a sensual start.
I'd raise my voice to say it's your choice to live in the here and now or your past fouls, possibly even the future somehow.
Come get lost in the clouds instead of the shoulds and coulds of dark memories that are still on the prowl.
Look ahead toward dreams but beware the fiends for they to had dreams and lost sight of whats right for they forgot to much of a good thing can be a man's only plight
Look to the heavens to heal but don't kill the idea of inner wealth or calming the mind to seek health.
If time were mine I'd get lost in the golden rays of sunshine, staring straight into her until I find myself blind.
Clear vision and individual peace may be the best decision to help appease our thirst for no war thus far.
Be easy my friend for no good fortune or end will come from trying to contend for the top spot, even the fortunate 500 sweat and not because its hot.
Be like a child and bask in your youth for a while, don't let time decide your reason or rhyme or turn you askew from whats true to being you by allowing others to pull you down, becoming smothered 'til you drown.
Often it seems to happen that we allow others to captain our ship which causes us to capsize and tip.
Then time tends to trip, tumble and dip but don't be afraid to take control, hit the wave and take hold to your journey's course but remember to never underestimate your own force.
Whether it be a gail or hail put the hammer to the nail and the winds to the sail and even if you fail, its ok always say, hey, at least I tried and gave her a good ride.
If time were mine I'd get lost in the golden rays of sunshine, staring straight into her until I find myself blind.
And I'd say, hey lady, can we be each others guiding path, hey baby, cleanse me in your immortal bath.
