Raising a World Changing Child

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Encourage him to read books that will open his heart, and free his mind. Noone does that anymore, noone  has an open mind, it seems to be presumed archaic. If you learn about many cultures, its more like you will be accepting of them. From Homer to Shakespeare to Dahl, minds have been shaped that have improved civilization.

  Encourage the development of imagination, if he can visualize the change, if he can imagine the strength in him, than he can make the change occur. He will imagine the answers. All books have authors, and every author has a lesson to teach.

Dont keep him from the negative, the heartaches. These are important for growth too.  Trial and error is a great educator, but some lessons are painful. Any knowledge can be used to benefit society, avoid over protecting him.

Must See Items in NYC

Friday, June 8th, 2007

1. The Blue Man Group for sure! They are over at the Astor Place theater. Even if you are a dance music fan, you will LOVE this show! A trio a blue guys who dont speak, catching objects in their mouth and playing the strangest instruments, they really get the crowd involved! Great time! Very fun.

2. Avenue Q. Check them out over at the Golden Theater. Quite a bit different from the Blue Man Group. Its alot like broadway, but with muppets singing satyrical songs.

3. Whitney Museum,
Rudolph Stingels’ work is currently being displayed, and should not be missed

4. Pace/MacGill Gallery is currently exhibiting some world renowned  photographs  from many famous collections/

5.Chelsea Market: A fantastic place to catch an inexpensive breakfast or lunch, it boasts some fabulous bakeries to boot!

**JoJo is definately my fave eatery in the whole city. It’s not as stylish as some other places, but they are awesome. The food and service are top of the line, every time. It’s a  converted townhome over on the Upper East Side.

Broadway Salaries

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

The current low pay for a Broadway actor is 1422 a week. Naturally, thats for the nobodies. The extra types. After that its a negotiable issue. Since the supply is greater  than the demand, why would any producer pay more.

However, Broadway actors also get paid health insurance, and before taxes is mor elike 1700-1800 a week. A very recognized name though, nets far greater. As an example, Julia Roberts gets 35000 a week on Broadway, doesnt  that just pale the 1400! Of course, she makes 20 million a movie, so as you can see Hollywood > Broadway.

Studio Life

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

What if you had to move to NYC on a whim? Could you cope with a small apartment or a studio? Space is at a premium in NYC, and most are not used to it.
Have less, but maintain your standards of quality. Hold true to your style.

Think minimalist, sparten, practical.
Maintain a comfortable furniture size, be aware that too large and you will be crowded, even setting yourself up with hazardous walking in the evening! Dont get more than you will actually use.

Hide a beds or futons are an answer, however the sleeper beds are a beast! so if you dont live on the first floor…..

Shelves are the prime key in situation where space is minimal, use lots of shelving. Look into hanging lights to preserve floor space.
