Another reason to get my laptop fixed. Gimme gimme gimme!

Then I can go to Vida with my laptop and look “cool”. Of course I’d pick New York, but when it comes to these laptop sleeves by Evan Hecox – I want Tokyo.

The couple shares a lovely little apartment with their little one and it sure does have a whole lot of character – in New York. Okay, let’s love… seeing that we love The Selby so much.

Amanda has been tattooing since 1998 and she has quite a unique style – some look like paintings, some like paint smudges and others random doodles. I love the random doodles, which is why my tattoos tend to look like prison tattoos. Eek.

If you’d like to have Amanda’s artwork on your body, you might have to make an appointment 3 to 4 months in advance. I’d say it’s worth it.

PSFK runs Good Ideas Salons to bring together forward-thinkers to share ideas that make things better, whether it’s better work, better play, or a better world. Another reason why I belong in New York.

Are You Indispensable?

On the morning of February 4, PSFK will host a Good Ideas Salon at Soho House with special guest Seth Godin. Good Ideas Salons are designed to bring likeminds together to share ideas and positivity around certain subjects.

For this intimate event, Seth will present ideas from his latest book Linchpin, and will openly discuss with the audience their experiences as linchpins at work. PSFK will also orchestrate some (opt-in) match making where attendees will have the opportunity to meet peers who can share knowledge with them and in turn become indispensable at work.

Who Should Attend?

Linchpins invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They make their customers and peers happy. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn it into a kind of art.

Inspiration to make things better.

Seeing that I could not attend – sadface – I had to follow it on Twitter and here are a few quotes:

“It’s not art if it doesn’t change people!” – Seth Godin
“They should dock your pay for going to meetings.” – Seth Godin
“Teach kids to solve interesting problems and lead. Don’t just teach them to become good note takers.” – Seth Godin
Seth Godin’s signature says: “Go, make something happen!”

You know those days when you feel like whatever you have “accomplished” up until now, is the equivalent of one giant bucket filled with a whole lotta nothing? Yeah. That is me today.

I have been listening to the Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack (wondering how I can escape to my own world), looking at men’s fashion and deciding what I will wear next winter.

Just so you know, it does not help – at all.

I used to be a go-getter. There was nothing I could not do and nothing I could not get. If I wanted it – it was mine.

A few minutes ago, I did my normal *click click* and ended up at NOTCOT. After another *click click* I somehow made my way to one of the first “me” posts. This is what I found:

You gotta start somewhere… you gotta start sometime… so why not start now?

This is the beginning of something. If only to stop being bored and having anyone around get annoyed with my restlessness, and perhaps even propel me out of this lull that I’ve rolled into. A little momentum is useful, and perhaps necessary.

Now what do you call that? Written for me? Yes, I think so – written for me and everyone else who feels the same way.

Time to rephrase: I used to be am a go-getter. There was is nothing I could cannot do and nothing I could cannot get. If I wanted want it – it was WILL be mine.

Word. Hollaaa! Now go get it.

Yes, I am moving to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Tower Clock Penthouse looks promising. At only $25 million you can live in the most expensive apartment in Dumbo. The infamous “Clocktower” apartment complex is selling its top floor triplex penthouse apartment. Only $25 million to make all your dreams come true.

These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you.

Tell by my attitude that I’m most definitely from and going back to…

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There’s nothing you can’t do.

And since I made it here,
I can make it anywhere.

It’s time to start playing this track every single day.

I would just like to thank all the construction workers of New York City for building my apartment building. Doing all these tricks and risking your lives at the same time – just so that I can move into a beautiful apartment.

Thank you.

Do you see the Prospect Park print against the wall? Want it! Actually need it. Both, please.

You can find it at a pop up flea market in NY – that’s if you know where it might be popping up next.

Me, me, me! Well, one day I’ll show you which NYC neighborhood I chose to live in. This concept / idea / website is very interesting.

Who lives here? Who can afford to live here?
You can use this site to look at income demographics and rents in neighborhoods all over NYC.
When you click on a neighborhood, you’ll map the number of families in each income category on the multicolored bar at the bottom of the page.
Come inside to see how it works and why it matters!

That’s what it says on the website and doesn’t that make you want to head over there and start clicking?
