It's The Weekend, Ya'll!

My fraand Ashley is coming to visit me this weekend. We are going to hit up the French Quarter Festival and see "Trombone Shorty" (see pic below):

I've never heard him before, but he looks right up my alley. A little thuggish ruggish Bone and a little jazz all mixed together in a sweet, little, intimidating in a back alley kind of package.

I need to go invest in some sunscreen and a floppy hat because this white girl is going to get her self a burn and peel situation if she's not careful.

I feel as though Mercury might be in retrograde because yesterday I had an "out of the blue" conversation with someone who I have known for years but have had little to no contact with other than "Hi! How are you?" "Tell your extras to wear soft soled shoes", etc. So he Facebook chats me up yesterday at 1PM Central Standard Time, drunk, and throwing out sexually explicit dialogue, telling me that he loves me and that his wife won't care and that we should get a hotel together, etc.

All I could muster out of my fingertips was nervous 'hahas' and 'well I gotta runs' and whatnot. It helps that he is on the East Coast currently, doesn't have my phone number and doesn't know where I live. Thank God. However, I can't wait for him to sober up and scroll up on that chat in a couple of days.

Thanks Mercury.

Back in the Saddle

Well I've started working on 21 Jump Street (the movie, not a TV series)... finding those crazy extras, etc. etc. I'm in New Orleans again, loving life, making new friends, connecting with old friends and having a blast. Here is a little photo gallery of some shiz that has been going down.

Behold: The ambiance at the bar across the street from my office, The Bridge Lounge. They have a great patio as well as some great house drinks. I had a 'Porch Swing' which was similar to a Pimm's Cup - a signature New Orleanian drink made with cucumbers. Yum.

This is my Royal Wedding commemorative item that my dear friend, Charles Rapp (some call him C. Rapp, or just Crap) brought me from the Holy Land, i.e. the UK - home of the royals.

Apparently the Royal Wedding isn't as big of a deal here as it is in North Louisiana. Every time I ask if anyone is going to the bar at 6am to watch it and drink Sloe Gin cocktails, everyone looks at me like I'm insane. Whatev.

Here are some photos from my newest discovery which is a little place along the river behind Audubon Park called "The Fly"

I met all of these people there. They are co-workers and their friends. It was a super cool place and I intend to return soon. Maybe on a Saturday to read a book or something.

This was the final picture as I left. What a Crescent City-ish photo! Thanks iPhone!

More updates soon to come!

Well this is Interesting

Thinking about taking this Craigslist housing advertisement seriously... Welcome back to New Orleans, ya'll!


"I am offering a beautiful furnished room with private bath and utilities included in a gated community in my home in Algiers in exchange for Christian companionship. I am a single male, 32, Christian and would like to find a special single woman to share my home with. This is an alternative syle of relationship. I have gone through the typical traditional dating scene and it is not working for me. So I am experimenting with this idea. I am a very open minded person and am open to new ideas for companionship with a woman. I won't get just anybody. Truthfully, I work very long hours and would love to have a special companion with me just living in my home. I am generally too tired to drive and to do activities. It's especially warm and cozy to have the woman I am involved with just living with me.
I do require a criminal background check with anybody.*** Age and race is unimportant. If you are open minded and like to experiment with new things give me a call. (504) ***-****
Description: 32, male, Latino, 5'10, 190 lbs.,Tulane University graduate, have my own business in the French Quarter. Serious inquiries only. "

Lameness Update

So, John Belushi and I have broken up. I'm currently not eating, drinking lots of wine and watching Bridget Jones' Diary on repeat. Just waiting on Colin Firth to leave his wife and show up on my doorstep.

I'm not writing this for sympathy, just for an update. I'm working on thinking positively and embodying inspirational thoughts. Mardi Gras in Shreveport is this weekend. Let's hope my friends don't leave me face down in a gutter.

Cheers!

Good God. This person shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard. Maybe this person doesn't understand the foundations regarding the red squiggly line.
