My Summer so far...

Well, it has been quite some time since I have written so instead of discussing world issues I'm going to discuss me and what I have done this summer. I graduated with honors from NYU at the hallowed, soon to be demolished Yankee Stadium. I walked the Seine and shopped at Louis Vuitton on the Champs Elysee. I looked into the eyes of the Mona Lisa in all her glory. I hung out with Picasso, Monet, Manet, Rodin and DaVinci at the Louvre and Musee D'orsay with the Eiffel Tower as our backdrop. I visited Normandy Beach, walked down bloody Omaha, viewed the cliffs at Point Du Hoc, spent some time in a German Bunker and paid homage to the fallen soldiers at the American Cemetery in Caen, particularly one great American hero and medal of honor recipient for his actions on D-Day, Teddy Roosevelt Jr. I prayed to the almighty at the the grandeoise cathedral that is Notre Dame de Paris and rested my head in the evening at L'Opera on the right bank in the 9th arrondissement. I went to Kate Moss lingerie launch party for Agent Provacateur at Milk studios high above the Manhattan skyline as a guest of the most beautiful women at the party and continued the relationship with that gorgeous woman for two months until its recent demise All god things must come to an end. I traveled up to Boston, shopped and dined in upscale establishments on Newbury Street and caught two Sox games at Fenway. I sung "Sweet Caroline" at the end of the eighth inning with the "Nation", much to my dismay as a Yankee fan. I partied in a multi-million dollar mansion on Dune Road in the Hamptons and laughed with my friends at the lunacy we cause and participate in. I saw the Brazilian Girls play a free concert in Prospect Park and "danced" the night away at a secret, warehouse after party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I took a few trips to the Jersey Shore to enjoy the beach and mock the ridiculous, Ed Hardy wearing goof balls that inhabit that pathetic scene. I cringe at the thought of it. I turned Thirty and celebrated with friends at Dos Caminos , Park Avenue South, NYC. I've argued and discussed politics and finance amongst my friends and spent time with my family at our pool. I did extensive research for my final assignment at NYU on carbon taxation or a carbon cap & trade scheme and found, in my eyes, that the cap and trade is the way to go. I got a tattoo on my right rib cage that reads: PERGE•FIDENTER•QVO•CONSILIA•TE•DVCVNT VIVE•VITAM•QVAM•IMAGINATVS•ES or for all of you non-Latin speakers "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you've imagined." An uplifting quote by the famous American author Henry David Thoreau. So far this Summer, bear in mind theres still two months left, all in all I am living the life I've imagined. Now if only I can start making some money!
