Staten Island Ferry July 2007

Earlier this month on a day when I was bored, I decided to just catch the bus down to the staten island ferry and catch a quick ride to staten island and back. This video is from that day.

2007 National Pastry Competition

So earlier this month I went to Nashville for the the 2007 National Pastry Championship and saw what these sugar experts could do with sugar. I was able to take a little video while I was there, tried to make it into a short. I hope you enjoy!

Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore host this annual (9th year now) program in Times Square to bring awareness to pet adoption in the city. I was walking through Times Square this past weekend and got some video of some of the things that were going on.

So I was away this past weekend for a convention/contest I will put in a different post, however the hotel I stayed at was gigantic...it reminded me of biodome because in addition to all the rooms for the guests, there were a ton of plants, waterfalls, restaurants, etc. I was actually just beginning to get a sense of direction in the place on the last day I was there (3 days)...which was also the case for other people there who you could overhear saying they were lost. Anyway, this is just a bit of video I took while walking around the hotel/resort.

I would never claim to be an authority on the meaning of this poem...as a matter of fact, like most people, it takes a lot of work on my part to glean things from poems... but for me, this poem has universal value. There are things that hold people back in life-self imposed or by others-and this poem uses the panther behind the bars at the zoo (that Rilke saw in Paris) to illustrate this point. The last part of the poem is particularly interesting to me because it suggest that though our innate desires can be stifled, these instincts don’t go away...they are still there...is this hope? Maybe our passions never die...and we are doomed to live behind these bars. I dont know. What does this poem mean to you?
