100TH Blog Post Anniversary | The Ticketed Experience: Extravaganza!!! PART ONE

Happy Anniversary Blogger!!! Happy Anniversary DJ CagedBird!!

The Ticketed Experience: Extravaganzaa

The Trip
I am NOT putting up all 15435678 pictures we took. Not going to happen. So, I'm putting up the top 20. Here they are...

Dunno who, but all I know is that they rolled out a red carpet for these three. It was right near the Waldorf Astoria, so I'm thinking that the building they were walking to was kind of swanky as well..

You know what this is...

Times square.

This is the sister hotel to the one we stayed in. No wonder why we didn't go stay here. The view is breathtaking and the rate per night is well....expensive.

Clinton Recording Studio. My dad, being the producer he is, wanted to be nosy as hell and get price quotes on the local studios. So this is him and a ghost-like image of one of the asistants who doubled as our tour guide.

Central Park..just a regular day for these folks. I like the simplicty of these two ordinary people.

Ok, so I was kinda mad. Why is it that I was expecting this big'ol huge cinematic entrance, and all I saw was this tiny sign. I'm like...you cant be serious. THAT'S the Apollo? That tiny ass building? Damn I was kinda disappointed because this historical building/theater wasn't much to look at on the outside.

Harlem. Right near this area was the Cotton Club.

Chinatown. I love how busy this is!

Brooklyn Bridge..yeah it's pretty.

Make sure that you take one of the double-decker tour busses if you decide go to NYC . Also, make sure you take the Grey Line tours and purchase the $108 tour package which includes four tours. Yes it's worth it. Espeially when you ge tot take a night tour of NYC and the Riverfront of Brooklyn. Breathtaking. It's a really cool experience. Yes, I was close enough to touch this streetlight. Did I touch it? Yes. Was I ever going to get the opportunity to touch a streetlight again? Never!! Had to do it. Oh, and on this ride i also touched the top of a regular city bus. Idk...i was just kind of semi-bored.

Daddy and I went to the world famous Blue Note in Greenwich Village to see Roy Ayers. One of the top 10 experiences ever!!

New York, J'taime..I think

This picture reminds me of everything I remember about NYC. The Grit... The Grime... The Glamour... All on a smorgasbord of concrete and bedrock.

By The Way, my next post will be a blockbuster anniversary extravaganza!! It's my 100th blog post and also the first episode of the new season of my radio show so you will first, see pics/videos of my trip to NYC, videos from my coverage of Detroit Fashion Week and you will also hear my radio show!! Yayeee!!! I can't wait. So therefore it will be an Extra Special Episode of The Ticketed Experience.

Comming Soon

I am still alive! I have pics from my trip to NYC and more stories....

Some Good!!

Some bad!!

Some depressing!!

But storied and pics galore

Video of the Month: In Love With Another Man.

Wow. This LITERALLY brought tears to my eyes. Wonderfully directed. This was the perfect choice - to make it into a short film instead of a regular video.

A Softer World

WILD !!! >_< !!! Camper Bike and Kart

This takes recycling, camping, travel, and resourcefulness to a whole 'nother level. I love it!!! Created by Kevin Cyr, it is a fully functioning structural piece. If you look at the end of the bike, where the camper starts and the bike stops, it helps you to understand how it was constructed.

Maybe it was constructed with a flat plane so it can be fastened into the bottom of the structure? IDK... Look at more pictures here

Here is the sweeter one though. The Camper Kart

 

Even more perfect for camping. All you have to do is walk to your local park. This makes a great gift for a homeless person (Imagine a park full of these) or a drifter. 

Here is the diagram so you can see the sleeping area and the storage. It has a crank for it's collapsing capability.  This was partially funded by a FEAST grant.

This will be perfect for my trip to Colorado in the distant future.

Sh!# I Heard That Made Me Mad

O.K. So "THE DJ" had a couple of career goals which included getting the proper training to be a bartender, learning 2 more languages, and getting a very useful Michigan cosmetology license.

But yeah...so much for that shit...

Full-Timers Applying to Beauty School For Back-Up

...An increasing number of full-time workers are enrolling in cosmetology programs to serve as a back-up plan in the uncertain economy or to gain skills for a second career to bring in additional income.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates for growth in the field during the next several years, it seems like a smart option for some people — between 2006 and 2016, the personal appearance field will grow an estimated 14 percent. Cosmetology does have its costs, though: the average tuition is $6,000 to $10,000, with some schools charging up to $20,000, and starting out as a stylist is hardly a simple endeavor....

See..why is it that everything I've been wanting to do, everything i've been preparing my waking hours for, everything I've been busting my ass for, is becoming so trendy for other people?

First, it was The Devil Wears Prada movie. I was really excited because I'd read the book already and couldn't wait to see the editrix that was Miranda Priestly in real life. But I was also saddened because I knew that the movie would glamorize a position I was intended to compete for. The position I am spending over $9k a year in an expensive ass school that I hate! to prepare for. WHY?!!

Then to make matters worse, all of these fucking spin-off shows, Stylista(FASHION EDITORIAL POSITION), "Blush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist"(MAKE-UP),"The Shot (PHOTOGRAPHY) and even the ever-so popular America's Next Top Model glamorize the industry I am trying to pursue.

Nothing I am doing is original. I need to figure out how I can be original, because this whole - I'm choosing opportunities that everyone is about to become or is already interested in/going to school for - is not working. I am not the typ e of person that follows. I don't follow trends. I don't follow. I lead. I create. I am unique.

Maybe I just need to find something else....

I feel like early pirates when they realized that their need to be free was being eclipsed by the closing in of the corners of the map, No longer square like people prophesized. The forbidden and unknown areas of the world being filled in on the then recent (15th-16th century) wall maps of conquistadors and world trading companies.

what am i supposed to do?

Don't think for one second that, "Oh! You will be fine." Or "Oh! There's opportunity out there!"

This isn't medicine, where jobs are ALWAYS NEEDED no matter what level. this isn't mechanical engineering or environmental studies or gaming technology. i'm talking about shit i'm actually interested in. shit that comes naturally for me.

Then the realization that I am not alone sinks in...

Kinda Sexy, Kinda Cute, Kinda Funny, But Not Funny Looking

Top 5....

#2 Gary Oldman

PLEASE. Do not ask me why I have a weird old-man crush on Gary Oldman. I just do. He is one of my favorite actors and he plays a lot of my favorite characters in movies I love, like '

Bram Stoker's Dracula', 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' and a lot of others...
