Who Can Say They Tap Danced at Radio City Music Hall...
...I can!!
Today was my graduation from Pace University! I came home after moving out of my apartment and coming back to Long Island, I turned to my mother and started crying: "They gave me an award and made me sound so nice!" I barely realized how much of a big deal it was. But still, the hilight was tap dancing across the stage at Radio City Music Hall -- what a rush, man!! I was shaking the whole time after!!
It was such a nice ceremony and it went really fast when you are goofin' around on stage hehe. NK said it, no applause, thanks or standing ovation will suffice to those who came today: my amazing parents Patti and Frank, my sister Camille, my Godmother - Chuchi Nancy, my love love Courtney, my other half Tyler, my favorite roommate Jika, her mother Jeanny, the Queen of Brooklyn - Aunt Mary and my badass Aunt Kathy. And a special shout out to my Uncle Joe who couldn't make it but wrote me a beautiful poem that I'll post next week. I love you all so very much.
I have nothing else to say. This is all so surreal.
