Culture and Inspiration according to Myisha Cherry
I went to the Brooklyn Museum this weekend and had the opportunity to see the Keith Haring exhibit. The curator did an excellent job of providing extensive work by Keith. It was so inspiring. Although repetitious character drawings are not my thing, some of the things I appreciate about Keith was his passion to bring art to the people, his creativity, and also his work ethic. RIP
I have a new place I love and it’s Ten Bells. It’s an oyster Bar and a little more. Before 7pm, the oysters are $1.25. I’m just saying.
I took a visit to Rockwood Music Hall on Friday night and fell in love with two new acts.
Hawthorne is a 4 piece band of bass guitar, cello, guitar, and vocals. Their sound is a combination of folk and soft rock and I just fell in love. The lead singer is a cutie and so funny.
Then there was Bri Arden who was just a delight of soul and Rock together. Both acts was just a great end of the week treat.

Taking a break after class to enjoy some New York sun and city view.
Can you guess which clothes belong to what musician of the past and present? Don’t cheat by reading the fine print below. I bet you just looked because I told you not to. Right?
I had a great time celebrating my thirty something birthday with my buds. On Friday I had a great time eating Japanese BBQ at
Gyu-Kaku in the east village. Then we headed over to StandUp NY for a awesome comedy show. I was really impressed with Bob DiBuono, Kurt Metzger, Big Jay Oakerson, and Ted Alexandro. My stomach was hurting so bad. They were so funny!!!
Then on Saturday I had a birthday dinner at my neighborhood Italian restaurant, Saraghinas. Great Pixza and Octopus Salad!! My fashion bud Ayana had a very furry coat vest that only she would be bold enough to wear and look good in. So when she left the restaurant to go to the ATM, we decided to try it on/prank her by trying it on and placing all pictures of it on her Facebook page.
We then headed back to my apartment for libations, music, and discussed the philosophy of love. Thanks buds for making my birthday lots of fun and thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!!!
I’ve been working on a site that’s quite different from this site. Getsick.net and myishacherry.com has for the last 5 years been a place for me to talk about the arts, culture, and interesting things that occur in my life relating to the two.
But myishacherry.org is strictly business, my academic business. There you find my post on issues of race, class, gender, political philosophy, and ethics. You will also get a greater perspective as me as teacher and budding scholar. Hopefully you will find it resourceful.
I will still be updating this site, but I invite you to join me at an additional place each day. Thanks.
This is hilarious and true. Texting while walking is something we all do… But need to stop doing before we die.
Casey Neistat explores more of this at the New York Times. Great Video!
