when completed it will be the second tallest building in New York
one of the things that makes me exicited about working there is the
"green status" of the building
green buildings are built to maximize both economic and environmental performance:
    Environmental benefits:Enhance and protect ecosystems and biodiversity Improve air and water quality Reduce solid waste Conserve natural resources
Economic benefits:
    Reduce operating costs Enhance asset value and profits Improve employee productivity and satisfaction Optimize life-cycle economic performance
Health and community benefits:
    Improve air, thermal and acoustic environments Enhance occupant comfort and health Minimize strain on local infrastructure Contribute to overall quality of life

i feel that we are building the future and i'm glad to be a part of it

Lyrics Of The Month
If you could read my mind
Gordon Lightfoot
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as Im a ghost that you cant see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take
Id walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, lets be real
* I never thought I could act this way *
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
bout a ghost from a wishin well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
Youll know that Im just tryin to understand
The feelins that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And Ive got to say that I just to get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelins gone
And I just cant get it back

Movies:


Indy , International , Horror , Films with a mad twist . Favorites (in no particular order)

    True Romance - love rocks Sex Lives of The Potatoe Men - funniest movie ever Battle Royalle - Best Japanese film ever The Game - whodunnit , whats going on ?? greta flick Gravesend - Growing up in Gravesend explained in this movie Requiem for a Dream - Wow , might not have even smoked a joint if i saw this when i was a kid Super Size Me - obesity in America - one BIG reason i lost a ton of weight
    Full Metal Jacket - Never get tired of this one The Shawshank Redemption - Greatest Stephen King adaption ever , probably because it was tightly based on a short story (100+ pages , 2:20 minutes long dosent lose much
    honorable mention to Stand by Me which came from the same book and was adapted well) Old School - Maybe the last really funny Hollywood movie ever made
    honorable mention to Undercover Brother and the first 5 minutes of Super Troopers Trainspotting - "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?" - based on the novel by Irvine Welsh , another movie that will make you think twice about hard core drugs (best viewed high though lol) Reservoir Dogs - still great after all these years - strongly based on the classic Lung fu fong wan aka "City on Fire" from Hong Kong in 87' The Usual Suspects - Who is Kaiser Soasie? Fargo - William H. Macy + Joel Coen + Ethan Coen = Masterpiece (sometimes lol) Very Bad Things - typical bachelor party fun and games Q aka Q: The Winged Serpent - giant flying lizard's , cultist , goofy drug crazed losers , this one is a classic

    Highlander - there can only be one , and Hollywood should have taken that seriously - great fucking movie Pi - Plot Outline: A paranoid mathematician searches for a key number that will unlock the universal patterns found in nature - another great soundtrack by Clint Mansel Gangster Flicks:
    Goodfellas , The Godfather and The Godfather 2 , Miller's Crossing , Once Upon a Time in America , Carlito's Way and A Bronx Tale - always enjoyable House of 1000 Corpses - Over the top , loved it , makes me wanna drive cross country and investigate the crazy highway side establishments Oliver Stone Flicks:
    Natural Born Killers , JFK , The People vs. Larry Flynt , Talk Radio and the Doors are my favorites , while i by no means believe everything he puts out there , the man has balls and dosent let the establishment push him around . Cube - Low budget horror , no glitering actors , lots of suspense , warning , dont clutch your heart too hard while watching . BIG recomendation here

    Wild Zero - Plot Summary: Aliens are invading the planet and turning humans into zombies. that along with the heros of the day , a Japaneese punk band , make this one a great treat . think of the Ramones fight the zombies in Night Of The Living Dead , which brings us to....

    Braindead - an early Peter Jackson flick - funny in the Jackson BIGNESS , kinda sick of it now though after the barrage of LOTR flicks (which were awesome in it's own way) Dirty Pretty Things - Great flick with Audrey Tautou of Amélie fame (another of my favorites) and Brain Damage - 80's low budget horror at it's best Hooligans - Frodo Baggins as a soccer hooligan , good flick Staplerfahrer Klaus - Great German short
    Klaus has just passed his driving test for forklifts. But his first day on the job turns out to be the real challenge. Cruel but informative accidents happen.Only few survive the bloodshed. An homage to industrial safety educational films.
    this is a must see for anyone who was forced to watch a saftey film and/or true horror fans

my mom's favorite poem

Prayer
by Gail Brook Burket

I do not ask to walk smooth paths
Nor bear an easy load
I pray for stregnth and fortitude
To climb the rock strewn road

Give me such courage I can scale
The hardest peaks alone
And transform every stumbling block
Into a stepping stone
