I will be on Time Warner Cable Commercial
August 24, 2006
Yes, I am still sick, still have fever and cannot stop coughing.... this cold is so stubborn! I am sick of feeling sick.
Anyways, work is work and I had to work today.... all day shoot in the park.... it was TV commercial for Time Warner Cable.
On set, one of the crew member were from Brooklyn, and you know, well, actually, I don't know if you know, unless you are from NY or you've lived in NY, but some people from Brooklyn are, after all, people from Brooklyn and they are different from people from New York in general.
There is this instant connection when people from certain part of Brooklyn meet people from, certain part of Brooklyn......and I am not talking about those people from, Brooklyn Heights or Park Slope, or, Williamsburg, or, Bensonhurst....I am not talking about, Bagel eating, or Spaghetti eating part of Brooklyn.
I am talking about people from where I came from.....Beef Patty eating, Chicken Wing eating, Double Dutch playing, Loosie (cigarette/medicine) selling, Insence smelling, part of Brooklyn.
Well, I am from Japan, but that part of Brooklyn NY was the only place I've lived in the USA until I came to Hollywood.
So. Brooklyn Republic was America I knew.
Anyways. I hear this guy's from NY.
So I say, I'm from NY, too. And then, he goes, where, Manhattan? So I say, "Where u from?" and he say, "Crown Heights" so, I smile and say,"Bed-Stuy." and thats all it takes for him to let his guard go and start conversation and feel like we are friends.
I know it's a different story, if He said, "Crown Heights" and if I went "Carroll Gardens (Its in Brooklyn)"...
and it is certaintly differnt from, two strangers from LA meeting each other in East Coast....
