I am having dinner with my brother, his wife and son (my nephew) and my mother. If you didn't already know, my family is originally from Uruguay. My mother came to this country when she was 17. So we always look for spots to go eat at. Also check out Chivito De Oro in Jackson Heights, Queens.
I am about to land back in NYC. The way the sun breaks through the clouds and onto the Hudson is such a magnificent image. I appreciate the simple things in life more than anything else.
My boy Peter Simovic and I just had lunch at this dope Italian restaurant in Toronto. He ran out to grab some smokes and came back with like 100 scratch offs. I think we won back 6 bucks between us. lol My grandfather loves scratch offs. No, I don't smoke.
What are the chances, I run an anti-gun violence program and the week I am in Toronto, it's front page news. This is a global issue!
No, I wasn't telling the GG a joke, although the way her security behind her is laughing, you might of thought I was. I just happen to be very charming, that's why she's smiling :) We had a moment discussing my program. She said she's gonna come check me next time she comes to NY. Btw, the GG is the equivalent to our Vice President of the United States in Canada and is directly appointed by the Queen of England.
Che (sitting in his office) is the founder of Manifesto, a company which organizes the biggest annual entertainment festival in Toronto. He's also a good friend of mine and a really awesome person. This guy has great leadership skills!
Todd (r) holds up G4C flyers with my boy Melvin as they show their support for the organization. Right now we're on the 4th floor of the AMC theater at 34th street in Manhattan NY. We have about 10 volunteers wearing the (Text "AIM" to 90999) t's that Todd is wearing in photo, walking around, passing out literature and discussing our initiative. Another cool thing about our partnership with the festival is that they're showing the PSA for our program before every screening.
