World Wide Nate in the States

I have been so out of the loop of updating my blog because of the consumption facebooks takes away from my daily day. Back in March I was in LA and shot four webisodes and three of them turned out good so I hope you enjoy a piece of LA through my eyes! Here is one of them I just realized the other two are posted on facebook. I have to post them to my vimeo page....oops, enjoy!

Dooms Day

The anticipation of weeks presumably celebration came to a screeching end today. My inbox dinged on my blackberry and the sender Amy Newman of Queensland Tourism said I DID NOT make it to the next round of the island care taker job. :-( My heart was crushed as moments of sadness, despair and a moist corner of my eye consumed me. I put my heart into my submission but it wasn't enough. The consolation prize was knowing out of 34, 658 applicants from 200 countries, I was in the running to make the 50 shortlist to the next round but I ended with being applicant #142. Here is my masterpiece.......

Japan webisode 2

Couchsurfing with Pat

I'm working in Tampa at the NFL Experience during Superbowl week and my housing situation got jacked up. Steve and Robie Gold were also included in our housing crisis. Steve being the shrewd gentleman he is found Pat on couchusurfing.com and Robie Gold has the car and I bring great story telling to the table. Pat happens to be a 61 yr old guy who is so cool. Him and his wife but a house out of wood in the country and moved back to Tampa after 30 yrs. He has been to afghanistan, pakistan and a whole bunch of other places. He made is waffles from whole grains. It was amazing!!!

Tourists!!!

Travis, Emil and I decide to take in some sights!

JW Marriott Lobby

The lobby was decorate so nice. I was feeling very patriotic and proud to be American!

My Presidents Black!!!

Yes, Yes, Yes, I made it to DC and we are going to celebrate Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States of America. This is a glorious time that I'm so excited to see. I meet up with my cousin Travis and we stay at the JW Marriott on 14th and Penn Ave two blocks from the White House. We then head to Jin Lounge to meet up with TSU alumni and we had a great time kicking it. Emil arrived late and we headed to Jumbo Slice afterwards to get some late night eats and it was a party in the pizza spot. They had strobe lights and music pumping. It was such a fun night!!!

Sosua day 2

Well what else do you do on an island besides go to the beach. Well I found another beach, Sosua beach and it was nice as well. It was pretty long and interesting because it had bars and shops all along the beach. It was really laid back and the green of the trees was a nice touch!

Sosua

My time in Santo Domingo has come to an end and I am headed to Sosua located on the North Side of the Island. I take a bus to Sosua which was really nice and it cost $8 for a 3 hour bus ride. Not bad is you ask me! Once I arrived in Sosua I found a room for $30 a night. The food was priced well I spent no more than $10 a meal. Once I got situated I made my way to the beach!

Kicking it with my tour guide

I'm in old city colonial zona where Christopher Columbus first landed and checking out the sights. This is the old place in the Americas. It is amazing to be here to see the history and how everything is preserved.

almuerzo

I'm made it to Santo domingo, Dominican Republic and I stumbled upon an off the beaten path restaurant. It was great! I had rice, beans, tostones which is fried plantains, beef and an El Presidente beer! It cost about $8 bucks and the atmosphere was the best par; it was tranquil!

Back to NYC - GAME NIGHT

I'm back in NYC on my way to Dominican Republic and i hook up with the usual suspects Emil and Cliff and we hook up with his people for game night. I must say I attended a game night last summer at Emil's place and it was so much fun. We play Tabu, guys vs girls, the women are cool and fun and drinks are the icing on the cake!

WWN Angel's

A new experience happend today. Me and Aaron were on the beach and we came across four Ethiopian beauties. It was amazing so we spoke and took pics of them which was mad fun and we went our separate ways. These are the moments when I say I love my life!!!



BTW this one kept it real sexy whew.......

Finally i got my Ferrari

I finally got my money together to get the Ferrari I always wanted. Now I can fulfill my Tom Selleck Magnum P.I. fantasies! LOL

NYE in NYC

Ok so i didn't make it to Miami so we kicked it in Harlem. We went to Meridith crib in Harlem for drinks and pics. My man Emil was there and he was super wasted. I never seen him in rare form like that. The funny thing was he didn't sober up . He stayed that way the entire night. It was too many laughs. After the pre-drink session we went to a Oh Lounge on 145th but my camera died so i have no pics. It was a great time. The women were looking good and were friendly and it only cost $30. That is an excellent NYE, NYC price.
