WELCOME to "The Life of Riley" which will include periodic chronicles of pop culture and possibilities that flow out of Patrick L. Riley's day. That's me!!! Through blogging (and soon some other technological features on which I'll keep you posted as they launch), I will pull experiences from my busy life to entertain and inspire all of you. Through this site, I will share my observations and insights. Some features to look forward to:
1.) "PATRICK'S POP UP(DATES)" will feature stories from pop culture, music, theater, fashion, and the entertainment industry at large.
2.) "The Life of Riley" will also introduce a "take-a-look-at-your-life" section (READ: sort of an advice column), where I will help readers come up with their own questions and answers around what "ways of being" are working (or not working) to have them acheive their respective goals and live their best lives. This section is called "WHO YOU BE?".
3.) Additonally, there will be a free-flowing, organic section called "TESTIFY" from which I will pull from my own life's journey to share and hopefully inspire. Some of the fare may be new musings and experiences. Other times, I may pull from my journals and past sharings to shed light on some uncomfortable truths that I've experienced and that may perhaps play a role in healing someone else's wounds as the real-life experience did for me. From my experience of covering 9/11 as a freelance journalist to courageously coming out (as gay) to my family, "TESTIFY" promises to move those who choose to read it.
4.) And a section titled "PR" (like my initials, but also like "public relations") will include press clips from any coverage I get.

A Day of (THE VIEW) & (CHEVY) in the Life of Riley
Hi folks,
You know I'm an independent producer/personality/writer here in the
NYC-area. And every day is a new day... in my world!
I often share that FREELANCE is feast or famine! The 14 years I've
been freelancing (by choice), it's mostly been a smooth ride. But there
can be some bumps in the road in the way of keeping revenue flowing
via cool projects.
Well, I recently got the chance to produce a fun spot for "THE VIEW"
and CHEVY that actually ran last Friday. From game plan to field
execution to script to edit supervision, I oversaw an ambush during which
we surprised a deserving wife & working mother of two with a brand-new
CHEVROLET EQUINOX. Here's a behind-the-scenes peek of our operation:

ALSO: ABC's local affiliate KXXV did a behind-the-scenes piece (in which I'm interviewed) for its newscast:

And I LOVE "THE VIEW"! Always have. I recently got to do a behind-the-scenes of "The View", but here's a chronicle from 2008 that I dedicated to the ladies:

As always, THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
