The post X-Mas comedown. It’s over. New Year’s came and went. The chain of events that started while passed out on a couch watching football on Thanksgiving- finally ended with an emphatic thud today. Since NYE landed on a Wednesday this year, many businesses closed on Friday. Giving everyone another [...]
If you’re anything like me, you’re completely consumed by all of the pirate talk. News stories have increased exponentially over the past few months documenting pirate adventures…err crimes. These are real honest to god pirates…Not some scene from The Life Aquatic.
Well take that pirates! This is America! I was absolutely [...]
I dig Busking. Buskers are street musicians or performers. Buskers are providing the service of entertainment. They are not begging for your change. It is unfortunate that they get associated with the transients that usually occupy the same spaces. And although they’re usually too frickin’ loud during my afternoon transfer in [...]
I went as Joe The Plumber this year. A couple days earlier a friend of mine said that it was an un-original costume. Everyone is going to be Joe The Plumber. I defended the attack. Obviously there would be a few people dressed like Wurzelbacher, but I thought it was unique [...]

I find it fun to watch people struggle with their umbrellas. You [...]
Folks, I’ve noticed within the past week, more and more guys are wearing the cowboy hat on the streets of New York. Not quite the urban sombrero, but the Imus look. What’s going on here? Am I more aware of it or something? Like a big fucking cowboy hat with jewels [...]
Consumption is netflixing the entire first season of Battlestar Galactica and converting it to ipod format for your morning commute. Regardless of what David Lynch says.
Consumption is buying a Slingbox so you can place-shift your favorite shows and watch them under your desk at work. When time-shifting isn’t enough.
Consumption is tivoing Mad Men, [...]
I find the hoopla surrounding this picture a bit strange. ‘Professional’ photographer Jill Greenberg was hired by magazine The Atlantic to shoot a cover with John McCain. At some point during the shoot, she deceptively snapped this picture that literally portrays McCain in a bad light. (horrible pun, I know) ‘Professional’ is [...]
