A Minute for Joey, please...

I have to first apologize for being so distant these last few weeks. I've been busying myself with a number of new exciting projects both in the office and outsides of it. Between the side hustles, the dream following and being Joey Bahamas the most stable things, this blog for example, has been suffering. Often the only time I've been able to stop for a second is when I'm having a cigarette...and that's not healthy now is it? I've finally settled into my sofa at home, turned on Miles Davis and thought it was a good time to write. These two weeks have been a whirlwind, a marathon...my body is feeling it, my mind is fraying a little, but all in all: I'm just fine!

New York was a blast. Got to see Tyra Banks up close and somewhat personal. She doesn't see like a very warm person...she's no Oprah...no shade! I had too much fun with the c-workers I went up with, and bought some really nice new pieces thanks to Uniqlo, Topman and Patricia Fields! I got to see the Glinton Girls (my girlfriends from home), and in true Bahama Mama's fashion they had me drunk off my ass, with a cocktail waiting for me in the morning.

The day after I got back to DC, I did drinks with Q, Yanique and Kenny at Loriol Plaza and then rushed over to the party I help throw at Be Bar. It was a bit of a slow night for the most part, and a little disappointing. But, that's what happens when a party winds down.

I think I spent Friday in, but I can't really remember and Saturday, the Glinton Girls were in town with their parents. Through a series of unfortunate events, we did Ibiza, Mirrors (sort of), Lucky Bar and then the Sz Gallery for a (slightly) after hours drink and bad Chinese food. Broken but not defeated, I ended up at JR's, Current and Eye Bar on Sunday...


...it's been like this for 3 weeks almost. And, that's not including work and sometimes eating once a day, and keeping a supply of Zicam on hand.

I don't pretend like it doesn't have anything to do with SB and I breaking up. That would be a lie. But also, I feel invigorated and inspired to do, think up, realize everything I can at this very second and it's not leaving much time for Joey...Joey's things, dreams, and desires are crowding out Joey...it's funny how when you stop procrastinating you can sometimes drown yourself in your own productivity. I've always had a bit of issue with the extremes...I'm going to work on that.

Right now though, it's just me and Miles. I'm letting him do to me what he likes...and breathing while he does it, and that's a great change from about an hour ago.
