Photo: GPOYs of the Day

Nothing to see here, just a couple of recent shots of me, having fun with the Family at Olea Mediterranean Taverna in Fort Greene.

Cuz I’m movin’ in slow motion, slow motion …

Movie of the Day: Jackie Brown

This is totally random, but whatever. This is what the kids refer to as GPOY … I think.

I’m up, reading, writing, blogging, et cetera, but I need some ambient background noise or else I cannot concentrate. Some days, music will do; others, I need movie dialogue in the bee-gee.

Well, this morning I’m popping Jackie Brown into the PS3. If you didn’t know already (and really you should know this by now), Jackie Brown is my favorite Quentin Tarantino film. It’s simply brilliant and criminally underrated. And if I’m not mistaken, it’s the only one of his films not available on Blu-Ray.

Harvey, what the fuck are you doing, man?

Quote: Wanna Thank My Parents for Raising Me to Have Confidence

“Wanna thank my parents for raising me to have confidence that is disproportioned with my looks and abilities.”
—Tina Fey

I remember once being told that someone had been talking about me behind my back. “Jay thinks he’s all that,” I was told the person said. “But he’s not, so why would he even think that?”

I have no idea if this person really said these things, but it’s something that always stuck with me because, well, yeah, I do think I’m “all that.” I know I’m not the most beautiful person on earth (though I am damn handsome) and I’m not the best writer to ever live … but shit, I think I’m pretty fucking boss.

Throwback Photo: JF at Teaser’s South Beach (2004)

Wow.

This photo was taken at an old Ocean Drive spot called Teaser’s back in 2004. Despite my near gluttonous consumption of champagne that night, I still remember a great deal of what went down. Girls, celebrities, maaaaan … this was back when South Beach was fun.
