orange you glad i came

Did you bring me a jift?

Our Ptown plans are slowly, but surely, coming together. It looks like our house is going to be right on the beach, with steps leading into the sand. Not under a dock, but onto the regular old beach !!!

This is our favorite favorite act....and if your lookin at the pic, you can certainly see how.

In other news.........I am almost done with Gossip Girl's last episode and I LURV IT !!!

That Serena VanDerWoodsen got herself into heap of troubles didn't she ? And will Dan please come stay in Philly at our house ?

building a mystery

Is this thing on?

Oh, hello ? Well there you are !!!! Whats going on out there ? How is everyone ? I am doing well. Much more focused and ready to deal with some more BS thrown my way. It was a nice and rejuvinating weekend, getting away is the most fun ever. I also sorta came to terms with myself, in being able to see how the summer is right on top of us, and how great it's going to feel to be on the beach for a few months.
I also know that there are parts of me that I have to better investigate, hopefully that will unfold. And, enough with all that.

The trailer for The Dark Knight got me a little fluffed this morning. lookin good. I want so desperately to see Indian Jones tonight, but have a thousand things to do, so it'll have to wait.
Anyway kids, hope everyone is well and that things are just how you want them to be.
Wherever you go, there you are,
Nate

A Year Ago.
This Memorial Day will be our 8 th Year Anniversary. Survived the 7 year itch and are doing great !!!! We met in Rehoboth Beach, and every year we head down that way for a weekend of total relaxation and a little bit of bar fun. Not too much drinking or partying though. And i can't wait. To just get there and have no worries for 4 days. Can't wait !! Gotta get out of here, and detach from the world i've known the last week and a half. Hope everyone has a great week leading up to a fun weekend !!!!

Details in the Fabric

Last week was one of the worst weeks of my life. I can't go too much into detail....at all really, except that everything personally is fine. I tried to get out on Saturday and escape. The weekend was actually good, and provided a great deal of needed relief. Going into Monday morning, feels not good. We'll see, I might be taking some days off work this week.......or not.
Anyway, the party on Saturday reminded me what it's like to have fun again, coming back from Vegas, which was just ok, i found myself in a big fat rut. The party was a lot of fun and helped me get back to my center a little bit.
Anyway, more details and updates to follow, sorry for the lack of attention lately......
check out the title of this post, by Jason Mraz.....such a beautiful song.
Also, have you all listened to Duffy yet ? Real good !!!!!!!
Love you the most.
Nate

give it to me

The days of the week have gone so so slowly. But Friday's here and all is well. A little blue, but ok. I also had, for the first time in a long long time, a drink or two last night on a week night. I feel funked today. Hate that. HATE IT. But last night was cause to have a couple glasses o vino.
Broad Street Run this weekend and then soon off for the bigish trip. Can't wait.

Bob comes tomorrow, so tonight taking it chill and looking for fashion.
Ideas ?
oh, and poor brooke white. Au Revoir sweetie !

So. I go to apple.com/trailers to enjoy myself. Thats not all i do, but i do find a great deal of pleasure in checking out the new movies. This is a shot from The Strangers with Liz Tyler and Scott Speedman. It's chilly. Me likey.
Another interesting trailer is Blindness...with a whole slew of peeps, but Julian Moore is the lead, with Mark Ruffalo...also looks good.
anyway, thats all i know. Tomorrow I run 8 miles with Gary and Gerald. I am psyched to get it over with, so that i feel more confident with how i am doing with my training.
Good night.
Nate
I am so boring. I know. Sorry.

running for our lives

so. i am in the mood for a tattoo. I am not sure what to get, thinking of that lion i posted a while back. What do you think ?

I ran 7 miles on saturday along a river in maryland. It was nice, hard because it was on gravel and i run on pavement....hot as hell, but i did well anyway. i did, much to my girlish yelp, encounter a snake. It was pretty long and was slithering across the path...horrible. I HATE SNAKES !
I am ok though.
Adonai.

Young Mr. Phelps is filling his .........career out with fabulous poses. Ain't he ?

wherever you go, there you are

Yesterday was April Fool's Day. In the morning, I got caught in a freezing rain, while running through the streets of Philadelphia. I got in my car after a nice warm shower and was sitting with the window open in the car........it had stopped raining and was warm. Another car sped by me going the opposite way and splashed a puddle, which in turn splashed dirty shitty water all over my face, shirt and pants.
It was the start of a great day !!!!!!!!!
But, that was yesterday. Today's been better.
kisses.

grab a boy

i'm out of time and all i got is 4 minutes.

uh huh !

so i didn't love it at first.........howwwwwwwwwwever. I do now. much. it's going to be huge.... me thinks. 4 minutes = $$$$$$$.

and. thats all i know. I am feeling definatively strong in the spring light. Wanting to get back out there socially, which has been on hold for a bit. Just cause. We all need a break sometimes. But lately, i read Philly Chit Chat and i get a little green, i feel left out, and fully recognize that withdraw from the "scene" has it's cost. fewer invites to things. fun events. Anyway, easily built back up, which is the beauty of it all. We can make bridges in this envirionment, just as easy as I've blown them up.

ugh.

anyway. if you had your choice. where would you stay ?

• Venetian (cheaper, great location, suites.....many were newly updated and renovated)


• Bellagio (the top spot for some, beauty redefined....but the rooms are smallish and cramped and there is going to be 4 of us in a room)


• Palazzo (the brand new place, shops and things are not totally done yet....some have reported this as the place to be, others have complained about it)


• Wynn...actually, that is my first choice, but get this, they can't promise a room with two beds in it, we'd have to take our chance upon check in - are they serious ?

any other ideas ?????????????

movies of myself

who knows where this is?

whats going on kiddo? I have been trying to keep up with life lately, so so busy it seems, but doing what ? who the hell knows. we don't really show up on the social platform too much lately, that should change some when the weather is nicer and we're not bound by the cold weather.

anyway, i ramble. Thank god it's Friday, and I only have three clients today, then leave half day, and going for an amazingly relaxing weekend !!!!!

Don't know what else.....hope everyone is well and am truly sorry for being such a lame lame blogger, will be better soon , I promise you. I do.
