A preview of the view vistors will take in when visiting the 100-102 floors of One World Trade  in 2015… 

(I have to admit I still think the design is far from Earth-shattering, but even so it has been interesting watching a mega-structure slowly…SLOWLY, grow from rubble to touch the sky-well done.)

Oh, Michael Musto… you are smart. You are funny. Your insight and wit on culture is simply priceless-“celebutard”, for better or worse I guess. But really you are an asset to our fair city and beyond. BUT crushed velvet, much like the year 2012-is over … way over.
Come on Ms. Thang’…you know this.


In short. Goodbye 2012, you were more comfortable than 2011, but your fit was off, and your sense of style was a bit off (tacky comes to mind).
“Anno nuovo, vita nuova.”
(Translation: New year, new life/meaning: a chance for a fresh start)

Yes.

Christine Quinn: I’ve had a number of conversations with people who disagree with marriage equality, disagree with different lgbt issues. and you know what? Two people who disagree, sitting down, and taking in a dignified why-leads to a deeper understanding  . . you should treat other human beings even if you disagree with them, even if you dislike who they are, in a respectful way. 

The justice was disrespectful to me and my family. and that doesn’t further my understanding of him better of him understanding me better, which is ultimately where we all want to be headed in life. 


Chris Matthews: you sound like a smart politician…
