Plug of the Week: T(h)rash

Hey there everyone. I was thinking about how I have so many talented and creative friends and decided that a feature of my blog will be dedicated to plugging their various endeavors. Hopefully, it will be a weekly thing but we'll see how it goes. And without further ado, here's the first edition of Plug of the Week.

T(h)rash
So my friend Sheryl is this amazing dancer and choreographer (check out her website at www.sherylmurakami.com). She teaches at Broadway Dance Center and at New York Sports Club. She performs in music videos and shows all over the country. She is also just one of the coolest people ever.

Sheryl has formed a dance troupe called T(h)rash which consists of Karen, Tia, Katie, Katya and Sheryl herself. Think Pussycat Dolls and you've got the idea. These girls are awesome. They are fun and sexy and it is always a great show. Speaking of which . . .

Come see T(h)rash this Thursday, August 4th at the Bitter End!

The show starts at 10 PM but come early 'cause it gets crowded. And word on the street is that they will be debuting some new pieces on Thursday - wheee!!! Also appearing, singer/guitarist Marcus Wolf! He will be performing between the sets. Overall, it is guranteed to be a kickass show.

So if anyone is around and looking for something fun to do, T(h)rash is definitely the way to go.

Peace,

Welcome to my blog.

Greetings friends, family and strangers.

I've thought about starting a blog for over a year now and never got around to it. Then my friend "Pablo Perez" started a blog this weekend (check him out at http://unwind718.blogspot.com) and I figured "why the hell not?" I've got some stuff to say and I'm sure my friends are bored with hearing me rant and rave about my pet peeves and the people at work and boys and why they're a pain in the ass and . . . well, the list goes on.

First things first, let's get some stuff out of the way:

Who am I?
Cute black girl living in NYC trying to make a dollar outta fifteen cents ;) Leo (my birthday's this weekend). Ivy educated (boola boola). Twisted sense of humor - for a long time my signature for my email account was "I'm the kind of [girl] who laughs at a funeral. Can't understand what I mean? You soon will" because I really identify with that line because that is some shite I would do.

What do I do?
I work for the man. Sigh . . . I work in the legal department of a pharmaceutical company. What can I say, it pays the bills. I go to film school at NYU and am studying cinematography. That's what I want to do when I grow up.

What do I like?
Films (duuuuh). TV - Cannot wait for the new seasons of Lost, Alias and Veronica Mars. Music - all kinds. I like to say that I'm a Rock 'n Roll girl with a Hip Hop sensibility. It makes for some very interesting (read eclectic) mix cds. I like to box and I like to dance. I do both at my gym (yay NYSC!). I like to read but don't get to do it often enough. Well, I mean, I made time to read the new Harry Potter but that's different :) (It was so good, by the way). Basically, I'm an entertainment junkie . . . and proud of it!

My blog mission statement
I don't really plan on doing this every day. I mean, that's a lot of work. I'm not much of a writer and work lately has been a giant thrombing pain in my . . . its been very busy. My goal is to try to post a little something every couple of days and to make it be more interesting than "Work sucks today" . . . though there may be some times when that will just need to be said.

That's all for now. I may rant and rave later. I may not. You'll just have to wait and see.

Come back soon.

Peace,
Da Matic
