So, it's Wednesday and we had a divisional meeting (I'm an administrator at a university) this morning that went on for a little over an hour and a half.
Some interesting tid-bits. General assessment....yawn.
After the Wed. meeting, I got greedily made my way to over to Hale and Hearty. They probably have the best soup in New York City. Today, I had the low-fat, vegetarian lentil chile with some delish oyster biscuits. Love it! Reallly good. Highlight of my day so far.
Not something I'd get regularly as they exceed my reasonable price range for the city.
I only treat myself to their soups when I'm in and around mid-town Manhattan.
I work in the lower-east side campus, where you can get a decent meal, like a falafal for under $5 bucks.
Ah..My soup and a nice stroll. Today's weather is perfect. Sunny, clear and dry.
Yes folks, the reality of city living for the many living on the fringes of society. I got something for the GOP convention next month---stay in DC! But I try not to sweat it.
Faith and a good...very good sense of humor keeps me together and on top of my daily expenditures, including my rent--$900/month BTW and climbing. Just me and a single bi-weekly paycheck. Mmmhmm! A temporary situation that I'm fixin' to change.
Meanwhile, my retirement plan: Mega Millions!

My baby blog is born
What's up everyone:
Welcome to my blog. My name is Vladimir. I just created this blog tonight and I'm exhausted and excited that it's up.
Me: Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (USA). First generation Haitian-American. More about my family later. I got good ones.
This blog will consist mainly of my day-to-day routine (like most blogs), and some more creative posts of my writing samples and rants about current events, my job, a pimple on my ass (hasn't happened yet btw), whatever!
So stay tuned. Eventually, when I figure this blog site out, I'll get more digital photos up. All I was able to post was this picture of in Kindergarten. I think I was 6 years-old.
Which brings me to my first rant:
It was really damned sneaky of this blogger site to get me to sign up for this picasso thing in order to post photos...as opposed to just allowing users to upload photos directly from their folders to their blogs...hmmm...tricksters.
You best believe I aint paying a fee to post pictures to my own blog no matter how sweetly they try to package it. I don't mind doing the extra work in Photoshop. I aint the one for your trickery...ya hear?
