72nd to Canal Episode 1 - Part 4

Location: @3AM, on 5th Ave and 48th Street
Mood: insanely busy
Music: Shucks, for me there is no other You're the only shoe that fits



Had a really late night (again). Scrambling to catch up. Insanely busy.

Last part of 72nd to Canal above - so sad. Pimp us!

Met a designer as well as a writer last night. Interesting. The writer's a non-NJ, non-pescetarian/vegetarian, local girl that's under 5'7".

Well now, wonder what that means?

No time to figure it out now.

72nd to Canal Episode 1 - Part 3 / Like what?

Location: about to get ready to run in park
Mood: sleepy
Music: If I don't get some shelter, oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away


Thanks to everyone for watching our 72nd to Canal and spreading the word. We really appreciate it!

I met three women tonight at a party I went to with Hazel. One is a story for much later, if at all. The other two:

Brooklyngirl
Her: She your girlfriend?
Me: No dear, I love someone who doesn't love me.
Her: Whoa, that's a lot of...(hic).
Me: Excuse me?
Her: Sorry, I have the hiccups.

So, because I was pretty sotted, I put my rum down, turned and kissed her.

Her: (surpised) Why'd you do that?
Me: Are the hiccups gone?
Her: (pause, laughing) Yes.
Me: Well then, you can buy me another rum then.

Dancergirl
Me: So you're from New Jersey? Are you a vegetarian?
Her: I've NEVER been asked that before. No, but would it matter?
Me: (shrugging) Not even close.
Her: So what's your story?
Me: I'm a pretty, straight boy in NYC looking to drink until I forget things. You?
Her: (thinking) I'm a pretty, straight girl in NYC looking to drink. Buy me one?
Me: No. I'm not that guy. But I'm good for other things.
Her: Like what?

Blah, blah, blah.

Just some interesting stories because if I REALLY had something interesting to do at 3:22 AM, would I be writing this?

I'm a sap, you see...

Istanbul (or Constantinople)

Location: in the office you see in the first part of the sitcom
Mood: insanely busy
Music: I'll be out Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about



Thanks so much for all of you that have seen the show and hit that Digg button, much appreciated!

I've had the worst sleep schedule these days. Plus I've got a full social roster this week. Luck of the draw, really. I decided not to go to the Ed Koch banquet and instead meet up with some friends for a small social thing. I'm sure Ms. Right will be somewhere in that banquet, however, I'm a mess.

But I digress.

Topic from last post: girlie. Here's the interesting thing about her:
  1. She's a full-on vegetarian. Not even a hint of fish. That's six in a row.
  2. She also over 5'7" That's five in a row.
  3. She's also a multiple pet owner. That's three in a row.
  4. She has the same name as No. 7. That's two in a row.
But she is NOT from New Jersey. Ah, something different. She is, however, from another country. Just my luck, eh?

The next girl I meet will just eat nuts & grass and live in Istanbul (or Constantinople). I know it.

Seriously, I need to know: Is it me?

Maybe it's my cologne.

No, it must be me.

72nd to Canal Episode 1 - Part 2

Location: nowhere special
Mood: cloudy
Music: I'm tired of whys choking on whys Just need a little because


I've got close to 500 page views a day on this blog, over 500 views of the video...and only 17 people have clicked the Digg button? Did you guys just not like the show?

Click it. You know you wanna.

I met a nice girl recently. She lives...quite far away. Thus, no shiny future for the two us. Sad, really. Plus I'm still thinking...oh, you're a bright kid, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Still, another pretty friend in the world is nothing to shake a stick at.

And we both know that I'm the type of guy just that'll just up and go someday.

Let's have a code, you and I; should I ever just leave suddenly, I'll post Gone Fishing!

Nothing else.

Then you'll know.

You'll know I cashed in those miles, packed my bags, sold the car, gave away Harold and the fish, and left. I'd be elsewhere.

Actually, I'd bring Harold.

I think he'd like to see the world too.

72nd to Canal Episode 1 - Part 1

Location: my own apartment, thankfully
Mood: exhausted
Music: I can’t seem to get you off my mind

I'm going to post a lot this week because of 72nd to Canal. If you can help us pimp it out in any way, that'd be much appreciated.

Above is Episode 1, part 1 and, as a bit of trivia, the blond at time 1:08 is No. 7.

I had quite the weekend; I was out every night except for Sunday. Saturday, I was at the same roof-deck, with the same friends as in one of my very first posts. Wow, I was chatty then. No rum, so I got a little sick. That, and I think I ate my body weight in carbs.

Sunday, I ran into an old friend I'd not seen in years after church. He's the fourth guy I know going through a breakup. Must be something in the NYC water supply. Or maybe, like I thought, it's just spring cleaning.

I was wrong, this summer is a lot like last summer.

This week, I've got plans every night single night of the week. Some is professional, most is just social.

Well, at least I'm not bored.

72nd to Canal Launched!

Location: my own blue bed
Mood: pleased
Music: now, overcast days never turned me on


72nd to Canal is UP!

I'm going to have YouTube links to the site for Monday's post, I'm just too beat today. I'll tell you why later.

Please watch the and let me know what you think! On the botton of the page is a "DIGG" counter - I would appreciate it greatly if you clicked that link (please).

Finally, if you help us pimp the show, by linking, forwarding, emailing, whatnot, that'd be greatly appreciated too.

I had dinner with a woman I had met a few times in the past the other night.

I was just meeting up as friends; I don't know if she had other plans but things worked themselves out on their own.

Me: (ring, ring) Hello, Logan.
Her: (...) Do you know who this is?
Me: Um, hello?
Her: You didn't program my number in?
Me: (long pause) Um...no.

Dinner was cold.

The food was fine.

The dinner itself was cold.

Looks / The man in the mirror

Location: @1AM, doing the Standard in some UWS bar
Mood: sotted
Music: I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life



The show's coming out tomorrow so I'll post again this weekend or today.

Back in the day, No 6. hated that mirror so I put it away. As luck would have it, I had just brought it out, dusted it off and put it up when she arrived last Sunday.

I spoke to the girl with eyes like faded jeans today who sent me back my jacket in the crumpled pink box in the picture. I should start referring to her as (lucky) No. 7, which turned out to be nothing.

We broke up twice before and each time, she felt I moved on too quickly. This time, I waited and made sure this is what she wanted. Yes.

We broke up because of an argument. I learned the hard way that it's better to have honest disagreements than pretty lies. She wants someone who doesn't argue with her and I guess that's possible but I can't see how real a relationship that could be.

Her past relationships have been rough on her and now I think I know why. Easy is fake; hard is real. Such is life.

I was going to tell her when I reconsidered. She would have just disagreed with me and that's a losing bet. She's not my girl anymore.

Me? I met up with a girl who's leaving town. She loves a brown-eyed man on the other side of the world and I love a blue-eyed girl on the other side of NYC.

We're perfect for each other - except that we're not.

With enough rum, we are.

Looking back at all my posts this week, you must think I'm conceited. My friends always catch me staring at myself in mirrors. I'm not staring because I'm vain. I'm staring because I'm always surprised.

Because, in my head, I don't look like that at all.

In my head, I look like this.

Bye, Gertie - be good. Remember me?

I'll remember you.

You're kidding me / PB&J

Location: @8PM, my favorite dive bar w/Gio
Mood: irritated
Music: Then I’ll just be waiting here right here



I got a gig to go to fancy dinners and chat with rich people.

Him: You really don't know? They want you because of how you look.
Me: (surprised) You're kidding me. What about my resume?
Him: (shrugging) Didn't even look at it. You're meeting Ed Koch on Wednesday. Free up your nights, wear a suit and don't bring a date. Oh...don't get fat.

After a breakup, I tend to get hit on more. Even Gio noticed people looking at me tonight. I think it's the lack of sleep, plus, I don't eat much when I'm single. It's nice but my hands are shaking again.

I'm usually the icebreaker of my friends. Some of them (not Gio) "love" the women I'm with but the moment I'm single, they tell me things like, "Oh, I never liked her," to get me back in the scene. Ugh. I hate that. I hate gossip folk.

My exes weren't perfect but I was with them for a reason.

Speaking of which, No. 6 stopped by unexpectedly on Sunday night to pick up some of her things.

For some reason, she looked in the fridge. All it had was protein shakes, rum and PB&J. She laughed when she opened up the freezer and saw the Mac & Cheese and all the veggie burgers.

I wish I could tell you something terribly interesting happened when she was here. She looked amazing. But I'd be lying.

You know, I could survive on protein shakes, rum and PB&J.

Maybe even just the rum.

Time and Tide

Location: @5PM, the UES, thinking
Mood: insanely busy
Music: I will be your storm at seas And I'll be your sharp intake


(c) Aki Muira
This is a mixture of two recent conversations I had:

Her: I heard you're seeing her again.
Me: (joking) You're late. As usual.
Her: What happened?!
Me: I'd rather not say, it's complicated.
Her: Oh I'm sorry. (pause) She's come back before - twice, right?
Me: You never know, though I'm sure she's out and about with her backup plan. It's ok, she knows that I'm nobody's careful consideration.
Her: I think it's not as important that someone leaves; it's more important that there's something about you that the person misses enough to come back for.
Me: (laughing) If she did come back, it'd probably just be because she forgot something.
Her: (exasperated) Why is everything a joke?
Me: (pause) I couldn't take it any other way.

It was a beautiful day. I made some scratch, took a weird gig, got hit on a few times, had some rum - the usual spring twirl.

I'm disappointed but still hopeful.

Because you can never tell what time and tide brings.

72nd to Canal Premier

Location: @8:45PM, going 80 on the 495
Mood: busy
Music:
boy Why dont you go down Find somebody Find somebody else


(c) Cindy Lee - this pic and the one in my pictures section are the only good photos I got (send me some if you've got)

Despite the weather and a few hiccups ahead of time, the show went well. All-in-all, I was surprised at who came and who didn't. Quite an eye-opener.

Still, we had laughs, we had rum, what could be bad? OK, I did send a drunken text to BJE, but besides that, what could be bad? (Oh, like you've never done that).

I wish I had more pictures but I was far too comfortably numb to remember to take any.

We're still working on editing the show somewhat for public distribution on Saturday so please do check in with us then?

I was thinking about my post from yesterday. You know, even if I did take this blog down and delete everything I could, I've still got all the online stuff I've done with Rain. I'd have to kill him to erase everything about me.

And we all know that I'd be the first guy the rollers would look for if he had any type of "accident."

On that note, if anything ever happens to me, look for someone that looks like this:


Yeah...that's the guy, officer.
That's the guy.

It doesn't matter

Location: 7:30PM Yest, standing in church by myself
Mood: surprised
Music: the finish line's a good place we could start




One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?" was his response.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

I had quite the weekend because of the show but that's tomorrow's entry.

So I considered locking this blog and or not writing anymore, but then again, rum and women notwithstanding, I live a fairly boring life.

I'm surprised you're still here.

I decided to continue writing as usual. I pretty much made all my choices and so much of my life is out there already. It's like putting toothpaste back into a tube. Anyway, writing is for public consumption. Anything else, and you're just a nutcase with a notebook. Here're my thoughts:
  • Regarding potential women, we both know that my love life's a train wreck all on its own, with or without this blog.
  • Regarding past women, there's a reason they and I live separate lives. After some thinking, I'm assuming that since they want no part of my life, why would they read about it?*
  • Regarding employment, I've essentially not had a real job since 1999. Why start now?
While I'm writing about the show tomorrow, I gotta mention that Furison came and said that I was absurdly hot. This brings the total number of times, I've been called that to...1. She said other nice things about 72nd to Canal but, let's be honest, I only saw absurdly hot and eye-candy mainstay.

Her comments on my pictures do shed light to this blog entry; oh well, it's still not a bad way to start the week.

Not a bad way at all.

*Coincidentally, I just had a woman from my past visit me - I guess I'll have write about that later too.

My real life

Location: yest. @ 2PM, an office, getting another job offer I'll never take
Mood: nostalgic
Music: Any minute now my ship is coming in

12:43:01 AM

Reading by the Vltava river, two years ago.

The show's tomorrow but I'm in the attic of my mind right now, putting stuff away.

I spent 34 years waiting for my real life to begin.

Now, I'm worried that I've blinked and missed it.

I'll be back writing on Monday.

I think.

(Not) Back in the picture

Location: @3PM yest., Walker & 6th Ave
Mood: uncomfortable
Music: angel in disguise Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes

10:55:42 PM

There's a new book called Send which basically says, think twice before you do anything online as once it's up, it's there forever. This is turning out to be very disturbingly true:

I did work for a short film, Cycle, years ago. Apparently it's being shown someplace because I got a email from a girl asking me if I was the same Logan Lo.

Someone else said that she read about me from a random article in a local paper.

Weirdest is this: the original post from May 1st is in an online archive! I couldn't sleep that night so I made an audio entry but deleted the file and changed the entry because I wasn't sure if she was going to be in the picture or not.

Turns out I was right; fifteen days later, we're total strangers.

I just Googled my name and this blog showed up.

I'm getting a sinking feeling that if I ever look for a job (or a chick), I'm screwed.

I should re-think this blog, maybe...

All set

Location: -20 mins, on 79th St. fixing shoes
Mood: happy
Music: Why'd you have to be so cute It's impossible to ignore

12:32:36 PM


Anyone that's read this blog knows that I think people, as a whole, are scumbags. Individually, though, there're some great ones.

As I mentioned before, Jaerik took it upon himself to pimp out the show as did AZN Concerts. So_yun sent us a check outta pity and Evul bought four tickets for the same reason even though he can't come - we're not proud, we'll take it.

Finally, a good friend heard I wasn't sleeping so she called me late last night and ended up singing to me though she denies it ("you're delusional") . Between her and CindyE I've got a chorus line going on.

Kindness is seriously underrated. Even BJE (who may hate me at this point, though I'm not sure why) is sending me back a jacket I left at her place.

Now, if someone would send me some soup the next time I'm sick, I'll be all set.

Reflecting

Location: @11:36 PM yest., on the phone in my pad, listening
Mood: grateful
Music: It's bad enough we get along so well

11:05:41 PM


Someone just sang to me. It was very sweet. It just happened so I guess I'll write about it later.

I spent the day returning to my normal life. Last week was...interesting, to say the least. I think my earliest night ended at 1 AM. Here's a brief recap:
  • Had dinner on Tuesday with a potential candidate for NYS Senator - I'm going to be his internet strategist.
  • Was out until 3AM drinking rum in the middle of the week with the third ranked amateur middleweight NHB fighter in the country. The night ended when we tried to pick fights with bigger people (ok, that didn't happen - but just imagine!)
  • Traveled upstate to visit a burned out building and a vast tract of land.
  • Spent four hours in the gym in one day.
  • Slept a total of 30 hours for the week.
  • Got elbowed in the head (accident) and I actually saw those birds you see in the cartoons.
Quite a week - it's only Monday and I've already a song in my head.

I wonder what's in store for me this week?

Last Promo - No Kids

Location: 11AM, eating sushi in Queens
Mood: bouncy
Music: someday I won't have to prove 'Cause somebody will see

11:20:16 PM


This is the last promo we have for the show. We're working on the show for the rest of the week.

Not much has happened in the last 12 hours to note except maybe that I'm sleeping very poorly again. Twice the usual dose of the usual poison is giving me half the effects. Irritated.

But I'm pretty up because it's a beautiful day and I've got a bellyfull of sushi; that's enough to cheer up anyone.

That, plus seven cups of coffee, is enough to cheer up anyone.

What's your definition?

Location: @5PM, yest. @Mott & Hester St., talking my way outta a ticket
Mood: pensive
Music: I might like The quiet nights of this empty life

11:17:43 PM

Somena called late the other night. We only ever talk when it's late.

Me: Fair enough - what's your definition?
Her: (pause) Did you hear the lyrics to Cigarettes by the Wreckers? There's a line that goes "someday I won't have to prove 'Cause somebody will see all my worth." That's what I think. It's when somebody just thinks you're great; you're awesome.
Me: (thinking) If that's what it is then, I guess no, I haven't had it in a while. Besides, I don't...
Her: Stop. The right person will see. She'll think you're awesome. Even if you're not. You know how the line ends? It goes "until then I'll do just fine on my own." You always do just fine, you're always fine.
Me: (pause) It's too bad we're so alike...
Her: (laughing) We'd kill each other. Get some sleep. Nite, Logan.
Me: Nite, Somena.

I thinks that's a good definition although mine is a bit different but the same. I'll write it up some time.

What's your definition?
