With the tragic events in Haiti and the most recent events in Chile (my prayers still go out to all my Haitian and Chilean friends and their families) it seems like a lot of people are in need of help. Recently I had a pretty bad family emergency. I was shell shocked and I knew the severity of what could be. I was tasked to notify the rest of the family. At the same time I had some immediate family issues that also needed to be addressed. I didn't really think much of anything except to do one task at a time. So as I started to notify my family, I realized I needed to step away from all this. I called the one that is always there to listen to me when I need to vent. We got some lunch and as I am telling her everything I start to feel this overwhelming cloud start to hover over me. We went...

Dear FriendI remember you telling me two things. You Love John MayerYou Love being a self pro-claimed asshole To quote Mr. Mayer""I hate to come off like an a--hole ever, and thank you guys for believing that I am not an a--hole," he told the crowd. "Never, ever in my entire life did I ever think that it would be a good idea to be an a--hole. But you know what? There's plenty of a--holes who think the same thing, so I have to thank you." "Take it how you want it -...

In June 2010 I'll have my 5 year reunion.I guess reunions have a much better purpose before the days of the internet where you can "catch up" with all your old buddies via facebook, myspace, email, linkedin or whatever else social networking site is out there.I have a love/hate relationship with my college years. They were not the best years of my life but I wouldn't call them my worse either. I think living through it I was in a very blah mood and figured I just need to do my time so to speak and get the fuck back to NYC. But as the years starting coming to an end and the reality of being a "grown up" was more apparent the more I embraced my time in college. And post college years I look back and really did come to appreciate my time there. Not sure if I would do it again but...def a time...

Congrats to the New Orleans Saint's for their first Superbowl Championship in their franchise history.Despite my New York love I very much wanted this team to go all the way from the beginning of the season. That city has gone through so much since Katrina. They have battled through adversity and really came together this year to bring the city some hope. The underdogs with the heart of America behind them. Although I hardy doubt you could call them underdogs as they tried for perfection during the season it was apparent that this team was a team not to be overlooked. And though they came up short they still won it in the end. And the most deserving award of MVP was given to their captain. The man at the core of the team: Drew Brees.This guy is a class act all around. I respect everything...

I ain't got a problem this with....And what's all the chit chat about? The line "It's no Biggie...I'm just the King now"First let me say I don't claim to know what Jay is talking about but all those people saying hes wack or disrespectful to BIG and all that nonsense....c'mon now. It's 2010 people stop losing sleep over people you don't know. I'm going to say this cause I feel people just like to talk negative for no reason. And you can stay on your negative tip and call me a groupie, say I'm on Jay's jock whatever. This is Hip Hop. From day one your rhymes has always been about repping your town/crew and bigging yourself up (no pun intended). Its a highly competitive landscape where the best lyrical skills take the "throne".BIG has been called The King of NY simply because well, he self appointed...

I Am Ted Mosby....If you didn't know who Ted Mosby is well let me tell you....hes is NOT a Jerk (Click) lolI don't know how many of you watch the show "How I Met Your Mother" but it is one of my favorite shows to watch. (Cheap Plug: Tune in Monday's on CBS at 8:00 PM EST. Check local listings :P )If you couldn't guess, the show is all about how Ted meets the woman who would eventually be the mother of his childern. It is a show told in a narrative format where Ted is talking to his teenage kids about the stories of his early adult life.I don't think there's been a 30 min sitcom like this since the heydays of NBC's must see TV with Friends & Seinfeld. And though this show is sometimes retardedly stupid in the antics it is so well written. The show after all always has to tie in the fact...

Whats up blog world....Its me your boy Rye. I've been gone for a minute and I know I haven't really contributed much to this ol blog of mine.Alot of things have gone down in the first month of 2010. Work is work and that hasn't seemed to change since I last left it in 09. It sucks...terribly.Everything else though is kinda sorta looking on the up and up. I am changing my life for the better. I am tired of talking and complaining about making change in my life.It is time I set forth and make things happen. There is only so much you can control in life and for the things I cannot I am going to have to learn to let it go. But with the things I can control I will change for the better.So take a ride with me and come see where this adventure will take me...I promise it will be f...
