The Adventures of the NSP

Holiday! Celebration! Come together in every nation!!!!

The time has come family & friends when it is almost my birthday. Its 5 days away but the first day I actually begin to celebrate. For years now I’ve made it an extended week thing & each yr my friends are like oh no here we go again. But whatevs you bitches, you know we’ll use a reason to celebrate anything. Madonna’s releasing a single? Lets get hammered! That new club opened up? Let’s make it to open bar! I wasn’t fired for showing up 2 hrs late? Yay! I’ll never drink again, what time does that party on Friday start again? Lance Bass finally came out as gay? I knew it! Let me go home & fuck my mans!

So yeah, we’ll use anything to celebrate. So why not me dammit? Since 2001 I started celebrating on the 26th of July & going until the 4th of August. Funnily enough in ‘01 was when I got to see Madonna for the Drowned World Tour. Jesus, does it all come back to Madonna? That IS debatable believe me. My friends & I do it everyday in our little email chain gang. As for going until the 4th? Well because the number 4 has always been my favorite number & has always weirdly played parts in my life. I was born at 4 something in the morning. I could go on & on but really there’s no need. But real quick, 2 days ago I get a random call from this number I don’t recognize. As usual I’m like mmm no ma’am I ain’t answering no call from some crazy crackers trying to solicitate! But this one left a message so I listened. Come to find out it was a girl i went to high school with wanting to tell me about our 10 yr reunion. This had been weighing on my mind for quite some time. I knew that sometime they would be able to track me down dammit. So I called her back & she tells me she got my number through my mom who also was hard to get a hold of. This is not shocking being that we’re talking about a woman who finally has a cell phone but has not properly installed a voice mail & only answers numbers she knows(Ok so that I understand). The home phone you ask? They have an answering machine but no one wants to put their voice on it. But anyway, I ask her if they’ve managed to get to everyone because she tells me that they’ve been trying all summer and I’m fourth from the last left to contact. How funny. So now it has me thinking…..omg what have I accomplished. Well I made it to the city that i one day said I would be in. Am I a massive pop star? Um well no unless you count that time I was on a Vh1 show How they Make a Boy Band. Please no questions to that I say no comment. Wow, so what can I say? I know, I can say that I invented post its!

But seriously, lets get back to me……what do you think of me? Wait, don’t answer that. What I do want to tell you about is that I have a holiday called Nickaka pronounced Ni-ki-kuh. So if anytime between today and the 4th of August you want to get crazy, hammered, outta control, dance on top of a box, color your hair or anything fun & exciting…..just tell everyone that you were celebrating Nickaka! Today I’m actually kicking it off by working the whole day then bartending. Then having a quiet night with Jordan. On Thursday I’m going to an Out Magazine party to mingle with hotness & rock their Open bar. On Friday(28th) I’m having a party at the apt all night & calling it Pop Iconathon. So if I can’t be a Pop star at least I can pretend to be by singing & dancing along with music that I’ll be playing all night. On Saturday(29th) I’ll be going to Roxy which could quite possibly be the end of an era literally because there is a major rumor that it is shutting down. If this happens be for sure I’ll devote a special blog to it where I will bring up favorite past times as if it was a Golden Girls episode where all they do is reminisce & do flashbacks of episodes before. On Sunday(30th) I will be at a club called Spirit where I will be dancing surely all the way up until 4 something when I can coincide of my coming into the world. On the 31st I’ve taken off of work & most likely spend half the day sleeping but in the evening I’ll go to one of my favorite restaurants Arriba Arriba & have these Mama Margaritas. As for the other days after I’m not quite sure. But, you can count on I will do something to celebrate my being on this Earth another year longer! And oh yeah 28 is totes the new 23! You may ask Where’s the Party? Well I say its wherever I am.

Well Friendsters & Myspacers it looks like I’ve somehow managed to remain blogless for a month now. I’m sure many of you have been l-i-v-i-d about not getting the friendly reminders of ‘Nick has updated his blog’ & random bulletins from me on myspace saying read beyotches! Well the time has definitely come for me to break the silence. Time has gone too quickly for me actually. It seems like my summer has been filling up & its passing me by! My bday is in 11 days & ofcourse there will be celebrations so once its all decided ALL of you will be told. But I shouldn’t get ahead of myself, because never fear there will be a blog next week with the planned activities. Be prepared!

But for this feature presentation I will try to keep you up to date on whats been going on in my life. I’ve still been with the same company since I got back from NC. In case you didn’t know, its an ad agency. Everyone is really cool here & they have Summer Fridays which means you get out at 1. I think this is my favorite part. I also tend to find myself with a lot of down time being able to read wikipedia, do im’s & surf the web. You would think that I would have blogged more but I must admit I’ve felt that there was nothing really I needed to get off my chest or confess. I have been on youtube a large amount of my time. I must say its my new obsession. The things that can be put on there! For years & years I’ve been an avid tv recorder. Since 1990 I was recording videos off of tv & tv shows & what not. I would stay up late to watch Friday Night Videos on tv so I could see music vids. In the area where we lived, we couldn’t get cable so I was mtvless for quite some time. So I would stay up late to watch the vids then get up early to watch Saturday Morning Videos. Forever I thought that i was the rare species but being on youtube has made me realize TONS of other people were just like me as they put all these things on here. I’ve been able to find all kinds of videos I was never able to see & its made me so happy I’ve almost peed my pants! Wait a minute, what did I just say? Oh thats right I liked it better than Pirates of Penzance!

My friend Vadim has been so sure that he’s seen videos of me as teen on it as well. To this I say that kid has no resemblance to me what so ever & if any pics like that had gotten out I’m SURE my publicist would have deleted it for me! But honestly, its good stuff so now I should be youtube’s spokesperson or something. My friends & I have been mass emailing each other whenever we find something about one of our icons or celebs doing something insanely funny. Like Madonna bitching that it was too hot & she couldn’t do the interview. Thats funny because for this show she’s been all about having the AC off since its bad for your vocal cords. Hmmm…now let’s see the last time I checked she’s not been known for incredible range. We all know I live for her but seriously….I didn’t go to the show to hear her sing Lucky Star pitch perfect. What I did want was to see her shake her almost 48(Leo like myself) year old ass. And boy did she ever! She was doing yoga moves all over the floor. Doing fight like moves during Sorry & Let It Will Be. In the opening she was all about riding dancers like horses & during Like A Virgin she was working a pole. Meanwhile I was taking notes. A great time was had by all & it was a crew of like 14 of us. You know I like to travel in packs. I loved the show but I have to be honest & say I liked the last one, Re-Invention more. But to be even more honest my friends & I would be happy if all she did was walk on stage & take a shit. We would still be like ohmyGod thats the best shit ever….literally!

After the show, we took ourselves to this new club. We all had wore some kind of homage to Madonna. Tommy & John were looking like they came right out of the Sorry video. Vadim was wearing something from his Basic Trash line. Billy was wearing an of so nice WWMD shirt with a pic of her on the cross during Live To Tell(editor’s note: I did think that I would get emotional during this performance but ended up not. I must have already said my peace about it before, watch it hit me out of nowhere later. I hope I’m in a safe place when it happens). As for me, being that it was hot I was in shorts. But, I made a tank top saying Madonna Fans Do It Better. But enough about fashion! If it was Meryl channeling Anna Wintour…then she flick her wrist & say ‘that will be all.’ So we’re at Happy Valley & its pretty much the place to be seen or go see. In our case it was a perfect mixture of both. There was Michael Musto(that heffer is everywhere so desperatelly trying to be cool) & there was Amanda Lepore(this heffer is lieterally in 5 places at once, I knew she wasn’t human!). Vadim decides to go & talk to them. He says, “So you guys must be coming from the Madonna show!” With blank looks they literally just walked away from him. Talk about having no class! Vadim & I have joked saying that if we open a club it should be called Class & Crass. Well needless to say they will NOT be on my guestlist. I don’t think they’re so talented anyway. Michael did say 24 yrs ago that Madonna was no one & she’s going nowhere fast…..how true he was about that! This encounter will probably be put in the Village Voice for his La Dolce Musto column. At least MY blog is coming out first haha!

So, we also see a choreographer from So You Think You Can Dance and that was cool. I wanted to rush up to him & tell him that his choreography for I’m A Slave 4 U had all the children rewinding the vcr to get it down….but I chose not to. Even cooler, I had made drinks to go before the show & carried them in the pockets of my shorts. Yes ofcourse it was Kaballah water, just flavored! But the best part of that place was that downstairs they had a pole! Well needless to say I got the chance to do the moves from the show. But we all had a blast & was seriously giving it to the fans. Clubs should pay US just to show up & get the party going. Screw Amanda Lepore & her no talent ass! Hmmm now watch this come out in Page Six…..Nick & His Masters of the Gay Universe talk smack about so & so. To that I say, I’m only kidding! Omg I love those guys sooo much, lets do a song together. I’ll actually sing the part of I drink champaigne in the morning, I drink champaigne in the evening & my hair looks fierce! On key mind you.

So anyway thats about it. Although I did see the pics of that night & seeing all of us shirtless working it out. Damn, we were some sweaty messes! All I can hope is that someone was videotaping it. For all I know it could already eb on youtube under the title ‘Half Naked Boys Dancing’ or even worse ‘Hot Mess’. Hmmm, now that I have some free time on my hands I should check…… I’ve never actually looked to see if Amanda Lepore has videos on there…..hmmmm…….
