Music uploaded onto the internets.

Well I finally uploaded some of my music up to the internet. It's the EP I've been wanting to put out, called "The Ocean that Accepts all Rivers." If you heard it somewhere I hope google brought you here, or if you're a reader (or rather THE reader) of this blog, I hope you enjoy it anyways. It has four songs, written by yours truly, at no cost-- though I do encourage you to donate to my paypal if you like the music and would like to see more of it written.

If you also know a place I can upload some tracks to be plaid on internet stations anywhere, let me know.

Cheers.

First paleo breakfast

Happy Valentine's day! For the past week or so I've been reading a bit about a diet called the Paleo diet. It's basic premise is that the human genome adjusted, through evolutionary processes, to perform best under a certain diet. This diet can succinctly be called the "caveman diet" since it mostly mimicks what a person living in the swingin' Paleolithic era would eat-- lots of lean meats, fish, seafood and non-starchy vegetables and plenty of fruits. I feel that since about 2 months ago I've really let my usually strict diet go-- and as an effect of this, been feeling physically worse-- tired, not as happy as usual, not as strong as usual, etc.. So I decided to give this diet a shot, to kind of get me back on track. Here's my breakfast today

It was really easy to make, well you would think too, since it's my first stab at this. The salad is just a spring mix salad from wegman's with some baby carrots added cause I had them. Tossed a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar with lime juice as a dressing. Got some strawberries in there, and then smoked salmon for the meat portion. The salmon is the unhealthiest thing in there, but it's what I had, figured on using it. The reason smoked salmon is considered unhealthy, in any diet, is due to it's high sodium content. I damn love it though! Must be the salt. Anyways, I'm not the type of guy to have a hard time dropping something that's bad for me just because I love it.

If you're a paleo beginner, or just want to eat a pretty delicious breakfast, would definitely recommend.

Day in New York City

This weekend I came down to Brooklyn for Connie's and Michele's birthday party, which has yet to start. Eddy and I took the opportunity to visit the Lubin House, a property owned by SU where they had drawings from the Dahesh Museum of Art. They had some amazing drawings there in a small exhibit that we both enjoyed seeing very much. We spent a good while in the small exhibit studying the pieces, and I took pictures of each to post on this site.

Description of the event, hope it reads well. I just noticed also most of the images are a bit blurry. What can I say I'm a horrible photographer and my iphone 3gs fails me.

Really awesome fireplace just outside of the exhibition..

Eddie felt inspired from these drawings today and reinterpreted them in his own way..

That's all folks. Sorry for some blurry photos, wish I had a better camera here, would definitely recommend a visit if you're in Manhattan sometime. The exhibit is open until March 24 2011.
