		<description><![CDATA[	It’s been 5 months, an arduous journey in and out of New York- once a week despite the weather, distractions, monetary issues, and it’s done. Time passes quickly, but for every step taken, always something learned. 
	My last trip included a walk on the Secaucus train platform from end to end. Sometimes we get so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I woke up thinking of songs this morning:
	“This is the end, my only friend the end…. , then I went to my music library and saw a picture of Iggy-”I am the passenger, and I ride and ride….” Next was a stunning visual of a skeleton with a flag, “Roll awayyyy the dew… Roll away [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Fuzzzzzzzy. It’s how my head feels. After a shot of Nyquil to sleep last night, and an absolutely crazy week at the part-time job- which almost feels like FULL time- I needed the aid of medicine to calm my racing mind. As a result, my clarity is off this morning and the fatigue overwhelms me. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	How about this weather?
	It’s the opening question for any conversation with a stranger. It’s a muggy ninety-degree day and supposed to reach one hundred.  There are storms expected later so, I brought my umbrella and a bag to protect my book. On the platform I sat in full sun and squinted to read beyond [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It’s 5am Saturday morning. I’ve pasted my own deadline of Friday night to get my blog written. It’s been an insane week full of stress at work with a shortage of staff, a new computer system in place, customers who have little patience at waiting, on top of my blog project. The need for funds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It’s not a subject most people talk about, in fact, I’d say it’s a topic most people avoid: death. 
	Death always fascinated me, not for the act of death, but the purpose and meaning it gives to ones life. I’ve read many articles, which show ones perception of themselves after a near death experience is [...]]]></description>

The Mannes College of Music and Julliard- the famous music school are also close by.       P &#038; G Café was originally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Why does the media push for emotion? Reaction? 
	People want to see what makes people squirm, how people explode when they’re boxed into a corner, how others deal with uncomfortable issues. It’s why some people watch hockey games for the fights or the car races for the accidents- it’s the danger. It’s sad to say, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I stepped from my air conditioned office today into 100 degree heat, then into an even hotter car. I wound down my window to get out the hot air, cranked the air conditioner and drove home. 
	During my ride , I listened to a song by John Cougar Melloncamp- &#8220;Rain on the Scarecrow&#8221; which hit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I exited Penn Station on Seventh Avenue. Normally, I cross-town immediately, but decided to go South. I passed my former workplace opposite a funky clothing store called Pan Zai. The place always had the funkiest clothes with many hip-hop clients in its base. I was fortunate to hit a string of good lights that continued [...]]]></description>
