San Francisco 2014

We ended up in the Bay! My girl Krista invited me on her birthday trip to San Francisco which I was excited about because I had San Fran already on my list of to-dos. Before we get to the fun part (because it was an awesome mini-trip), I need to share the fact that I missed my first flight the Friday night I was supposed to leave AND my second flight the next Saturday morning. Then when finally in San Fran and it was time to leave, I missed my flight...

Caribana 2013

So my new thing now for jampacked party weekends that occur concurrently is to participate in at least two of the festivities rather than just one. I simply don't think my fun should be limited to one place when there's just as much or probably more fun happening at the same damn time somewhere else. That's just not fair to us live-lifers, so I decided to to body Caribana and Dream Weekend in the same week. I personally cannot stand the fact that...

Buffalo 2013

My mom and I decided to drive down to Buffalo to visit my paternal grandfather. My brother, cousin, mom and I packed up and hit the roads for Buffalo once again. Everybody would be returning home to Boston in a few days but I had more travel planned ahead of me, so I departed Buffalo early to catch the bus to Toronto. But, before I left the slow city that my father once took us on annual family trips to, I spent some bonding time with la familia....

Atlantic City Carnival 2013

2013 was the year of my introduction to unfamiliar carnivals. They were all by far memorable, some better than others, but I treasure the experience always. Atlantic City, for example, is a fairly new carnival. To get straight to the point, it was very disorganized. Easily, by far, the most disorganized carnival I've seen individuals put together. The carnival was supposed to be on the Boardwalk as the previous year, but the "mayor" called it...

July 4th in Boston 2013

Another July 4th Weekend in Boston! Because I honestly WEIRDLY enjoy Boston during this time. I'm too internationally-experienced to settle for Boston's basicness, but this weekend is always special to me here. Since a youngin', my mother would take both my brother and I to the celebrations on The Esplanade every year. It was customary for us. I haven't been for years, but working for DCR afforded me the opportunity to actually be involved...

Memorial Day Weekend in Miami 2013

Fresh from Atlanta Carnival, my girl Terara and I headed straight to Miami Sunday morning in hopes to catch the famous annual Best of the Best concert, which starred my favorite ever, Beres Hammond, and the last of what MDW had to offer us. It would be my second time ever seeing him in person. It was all a dream really, especially because I was already on could 29. We met up with my cousin Deney and friends upon our arrival to the dangerously...
