Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? There’s a funny thing about living in New York City. You can’t help but run into famous people. Sometimes literally. I once bumped physically into Anderson Cooper on the street. Later, my organization ended up honoring […]
Sometimes a song hits you not because it’s about you, but because it feels like it saw you. Or at least someone like you. Or someone you once aspired to be in a club bathroom at 2am in 1999. Cue Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” Officially, it’s about a […]
