Inverted

Can't you just FEEL the family in the air? Let's hear it for the moms!

This weekend was nice. Today was best. I think it was the weather and independence that did it for me. I think I'm hitting my stride. As in efficiency and rhythm. I feel as though my actions do in fact equal some desired result. Moreover, I think it's really been the garden maintenance I've been doing in weeding out all actions, people, place and thoughts that don't make me feeeel good.

I will say that I'm very tired. The train is very sedative. I think I just might falllll.... [yawn] ...I THINK I might faaaewlllll.... Ah... aaasssllleeeee

People Wondering

^This is Kirsten

(I love people. Large groups are the best. So long as I can navigate through them. Or do the wave with them)

It's hotter than July on this train right now...

I do love traveling and do in fact partake quite. Train rides are incredibly romantic. Don't you think so?

"Yes I'm a man of many wishes, I hope..." this dense industrial zoning develops one day...... NJ mashup!

Now, does the beginning of this entry represent the exhaustion of my ability to focus and/or ................. [stares out the window for 45 seconds]. Ah I suppose this is Saturday morning, a time of reflection and Wondering how to improve. Having the time to do so perhaps? Seeing a sea change of kids and moms out before 3pm, grown men in shorts, slower public transportation...

//
Man, my heart is so ripe for the picking. So fertile, so protected, so fragile, so much sometimes.

Pull my strings if you want world, so long as it puts me in front of the people.

Metropolitan 20-something self-reflection device

To blog or not to blog...

Shakespeare man, what a guy!

Twitter is nice an all, but when your facebook wall looks like a self-created real-time wikipedia entry it's time to chill out on it. So here I am! Slightly more focused are these entries. Elaborate would be a better word...

Just passed New Hyde Park. I don't mind this LIRR business, or these Long Island shenanigans. Uncharted waters are where I like to swim. I believe I've said this before, but I do believe life will hoist me onto the next big plateau upon reaching an understanding of the Tri-State area. CT? Check. NJ? Half-way there, let's just call it a / for now... NYC? I think this is a check, save Staten Island. I mean, I took the Ferry when I was like 11, does that count? Long Island is most definitely foreign to me... So here I am!

Note: not to say that the Tri-State reigns supreme or anything, I do believe that it represents a perfect microcosm of the rest of the country. Northeastern Connecticut IS Kentucky... Seriously.

Maybe I'm waiting for the next plateau a bit too much. Maybe my discoveries of the past week ARE a new plateau and I've never realized it, or won't realize it until I'm older... God Bless Apple Inc. for this metropolitan 20-something self-reflection device. It's working wonders as my sole companion on this journey.

...OK... And my guitar...

...and my moleskin...

And you...

booked!

Well Weaved

Hello world!

It sure is mighty nice when the sun is out. The collective mood of the community at large has been greatly lifted, wouldn't you say?

Central Park was mind-blowingly nice this weekend. Actually, all of NYC was mind-blowingly nice this weekend. Now CA is cool and all, but on the days when NYC has LA weather....... I really can't see why anyone would want to be anywhere else! (ok ok maybe I can, but it IS super nice out). Let the ballparks serve as the beach (or say Long Island) where people can CHILL and get their tan on... And in terms of mobility for enjoying the vast multitude of people and places, one can bring themselves and a wallet and go wherever they want! So intricately weaved were all the lives every New Yorker this weekend more than any weekend in a long time. Fantastico!!

I myself lived a little, had room to breathe, was out of my house for a full two days. Adventures in east Chinatown, Huntington, The UWS and Citifield all whilst performing career-centric activities. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think life itself is getting better... or perhaps I am learning to appreciate it more...Probs the latter.

Are you writing the very same blog entry? Maybe just thinking it? May I find out?

Eye contact made,
Dexter

booked!

Downtown Blog Center Antics

[failed email posting]

Look what the work week does to innocent people! Makes them drink Diet Coke and put FedEx Paks on their heads! Oh the huMANity of it all!!

Luckily the Downtown Blog Center makes enough room for such antics. [Editor's note: this is a re-creation of this entry, and its hard! How to exactly re-create what I said when it was all spewn off the top of my noggen?]

Sam Cooke is insane. talk about some real tragedy...

[there was some serious irony I put at the end of this entry. Damn!]

I guess I've learned my lesson about trying to be TOO in-sync. [N*Sync]. I tried to iPhone this entry in. Boo complete synchronicity. Boo rigid scheduling. Hooray randomization. Randomization DOES include rigid scheduling FYI.

Ahh world...

Better

Why Hello!

Hello? Yello!!

What shakes me I hope shakes you. Starbucks is providing this lovely wifi right now and I am appreciative. Though, I am certainly not enjoying this "$3.95 per two hour block," so mundanely put! They're really not beating around the bush here, "Hey you, you WANT this internet? Well it's $3.95 for this BLOCK right here, oh yeah, only 2 hours too, so no fooling around..."

Regardless, I'm a super customer today, willingly taking this sales pitch as beauteousness. I did bring in rival coffee, gatorade and coldstone over the course of the day (and used their bathroom) so I think my equilibrium is in check.

Also, I have "launched" many a digital information set today regarding myself the entertainer. For THAT, I feel as though my equilibrium is in check. It feels great to consistently get BETTER and to STRIVE to BE better and eventually check in every so often to realize, hey, I DID get better! It sure feels good to write in here without posing questions or amidst a moderate lull of self-sufficience (or the like).

So onward! Onward into the frigid April night! (WTF). All is well over here. Very well.

I hope you will see this on my face from a million miles away. I hope you can feel this when I enter the room. I hope that you hope you can feel this way too. I hope that this lasts forever. I hope I can hope forever. And type forever but it seems I...

Vice

Blog,

Writing in you is like spooning and you know what? I LIKE spooning... These tweets, they mean nothing compared to you, for reals. I had a phase, sure I'm young, but I want full on love and you got it.

I find it hilarious that I write in here sometimes. So consumed with my own emotions I am sometimes. Let me rephrase, I am very CAREful with my emotions MOST times. Yes, I've got a heart, I know where it is and I certainly knows what it feels like to be broken: like it's been put in a VICE, tightening everytime a thought or person or pair of leggings or favorite band enters my consciousness, about as frequent as a 3 inch round flat rock skips across a still pond, fast and abrupt at first.

Until it no longer happens.

And we're here.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good Lighthearted Fun

Calls have been placed, guitar has been played, characters have been tweeted, yet here I am! Or you are...

I have in fact taken some time off from the blog, whereas tweets satiate my tech expression in little bite size pieces. Moreover, I certainly haven't felt compelled to say anything of worth, or whine over my current situation. I'd like to say I deal with said situations with quiet confidence but really, I just don't want to bother anyone, I brood in solitude...

I'm happy to report my master plan is unfolding quote nicely as of right now (perhaps the brooding wasn't in vain...), as I am headed to the studio tomorrow to lay down some honey soaked sonically saturated songs. Setting a nice foundation, or perhaps polishing the car that was given to me when I turned 18...regardless, the base of a brand new me that I can't help but be incrediby excited for! Text, sometimes you DONT do the trick... Oh wait... WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I guess that'll work...

There I go being selfish again (though this is my blog...). How are you? Have you been treated well recently? Done something nice for someone else?

Sure hope so!

I am off to see I Love You, Man. Seems to be good lighthearted fun.

Your Neighborhood Friendly,
+Dexter Scott

P.S. Twitter has taken over as the medium for my Point of Possible Hilarity (and pretty much everyone else's), though I will integrate where possible! ---> Twitter.com/dexterscott

Holler

Hollerers and Hollerettes,

Might I welcome you to this blog for the first time. If you have been reading these nonsensicals for eons now, here's my number: 305 458 6217, let's go on a date.

I do in fact feel chatty, almost in a high school girl kind of way. That does not mean that I feel as if I AM a high school girl, just talkative. I am in fact chained to my Downtown Blogging HQ for the full "work" day and until my partner in crime The Kirst returns from overseas.

Topics of Interest:
-Chris Brown "apparently" said some SUPER whack stuff
-Sharpies make THE best lines on post-its, and for that matter, all other mediums
-Whole grain pasta needs to be chewy-er. Somebody get on that...
-The Duane Reade in Herald Square is very poorly designed, regardless of the fact they have just become 24-hours. Roll up and you'll see...

So yeah, no need to elaborate on those I don't think. I DO think that snow in March is a bit strange, but my how it melts in 40 degree weather!

There are high levels of zanzibarsity in this entry, and I kinda like it.

What do you like?

Common Combination

Keep rollin, rollin, rollin,

What?

Slowdown you crazy child

Maybe the next song I write will have lyrics of artists that seem like non sequiturs in genre when put back to back... That was Limp Bizkit and Billy Joel for those keeping score at home.

When will you realize, Vienna waits for you...

Ok I'll stop. So let's hear it for the party-goers. The most envious people on the block. I don't think celebrities are even the most envious, but mostly what lifestyle they live. Perhaps, used as a justification for a lifestyle of partying, or even just the inspiration to live with as much freedom as possible. That's really what partying is, and I quote, "gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelve and just enjoy yourself." I feel as though a significant amount of energy is wasted by those against partying, seeing it as merely getting drunk, when really getting drunk is just the inhibitor to be social or force oneself into the stupendous romance of the night being at your fingertips, no thought process whatsoever.

Note: this is not a advertisement for drinking and/or partying. The idea in itself is fantastic, welcoming, conformist in regards to who of one's social network (or neighborhood for that matter) is partaking in this common combination of actions.

Then again, opening a book or seeing a movie is just as liberating for some. Regardless, the same idea of freedom is still present. I really just wish we all find that in some form or another. There's nothing worse than being in a purgatory (especially if it's self imposed!) with no foreseeable exit strategy.

Perhaps that's what being young represents, the opportunity to lay a set foundation. Maybe it's just being healthy that enables such a freedom. Maybe it's an iPhone. Maybe it's a car. Maybe it's a song.

"Me I'm trying just to get to second base
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign"

I'll be,

P.S.... PPH #5 shown above. Jersey City's Exchange Place. No clocks, no bathrooms, a maze of hallways, a very large set of escalators and neon lights. I felt like I fell into Myst set in a Las Vegas cellar. Asked around and got ZERO help, like robots reciting the same lines over and over. Yes I asked the same question twice (it didn't get answered). WTF.

Beacon

Blog,

You are always there, like a patiently waiting dog, unlike the one that ripped my Vans last week.

So it's Friday (enter reason to celebrate here____________________).

or

Mad Lib...

I am very _______(adj) today because Friday is _____________(adverb) to be the ________ (adj) Friday ever.

I am very happy today because Friday is most likely to be the newest Friday ever.

My show is coming up and I am thrilled. Hopefully the 4 people that peep this blog will show up.

[Tangent] Do I ever have a thing to report? Is this a cheap thrill for my daytime self? Does this take away from my pen to paper writing? Well, this certainly isn't prose...

People say journalism is over, as are the physical newspapers, and the record industry and the lucrative i-bank jobs, and MTV, and retail, and our democratic government, and Yahoo...

Ok maybe not that last one, but where's the permanence? Who or what is our beacon of hope? Is Barack REALLY that hope? I am not saying he isn't, but really, what is on the up? Tech? No brainer... Concerts? Possibly. Grad school admission? YUP.

Maybe this really is what a recession dictates, substantial change and restructuring. Isn't that the name of the game anyway? Maybe my ears hear the junk out there, but certainly too many people hypothesize about what's dead instead of what's living.

And the beat goes on (and on and on and on...)

+DS

UPDATE: I neglected to mention that Friday is in fact alive. And Saturday. So is Sunday...

B.O.B.

Yello,

Chris Cornell's new album is awesome. a stretch at first, but yes.

So it's the birthday. 24 years complete. I did decide to celebrate it, albeit modestly, and I'm happy I did! Birthday's are inherently enriching. The ultimate upper. Great friends, great convo, peripheral family members chiming in. Fantastic.

I wanted to post some pictures from some wandering in BK this week. Perhaps I'm bonkers over brooklyn, but there's a reason why people love it so much. The strength of the community, the curiosity of each person there, the low decibel level! Sift through the hipsters and it's the place to be...

So I go, but below are photos.
