Winning & Losing

The poker game Naylor describes offers insight into the dynamics of winning and losing. (Naylor 208 - 15) Let's reconsider this section using the frameworks Naylor provides, the dirge and gospel song. 

 A Dirge: a song or hymn of grief or lamentation; especially :  one intended to accompany funeral or memorial rites; a slow, solemn, and mournful piece of music

 Louis Armstrong, "St. James Infirmary" 

Vickie Winans, "Precious Lord"

Dinner at Shinjuku

My boyfriend took me to an all you can eat sushi buffet! It was the first time I've ever been to one. I love love love sushi and this resturaunt really topped it off. I've never tasted sushi so good. I wish I had taken more pictures but I was so busy enjoying myself and trying out the different types of sushi along with other Japanese cuisines. I really think everyone should visit Shinjuku. I love it and can't wait to go back!!!

A WONDERFUL DAY AT CENTRAL PARK

 

My boyfriend and I spent our Anniversary together in Central Park. As New Yorker's we are always on the go and living a fast pace so I decided to surprise him with a nice Italian picnic. I never had a picnic in Central Park so I decided to slow it down and enjoy the beautiful scenery at Central Park Cherry Hill. Hey trust me we enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice new experience. It was much better than the traditional dinner reservation at 7:30 he was totally surprised. I’m looking forward to another anniversary hopefully it would be at a special location where we can make new memories.
