Hobo watch

I'm with the wall...

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays out there!

After weeks of denial about the pending festivities, I've finally given in to the holiday spirit.

I ventured through the Union Square holiday market, in search of a replacement for my ugly hat. That hat was my companion almost everyday during these Brooklyn days... oh well.

One another occasion after walking into the Starbuck in Union Sq, I ran into this guy:


He was honest. His message was true and we had an elaborate discussion about how he was faring out in the cold asking for money for his weed, whether or not he was aiming for a dime or a dub, where he makes his purchases and so many other fun things...

even shopping was something quick and easy to deal with this time around :)

and there was the good deed of the day: Some ghetto chick on her way to Hicksville (also my destination) at the East New York station was about to miss the train b/c there was a line to use the one (and only) functioning MTA vending machine at the station platform. I had just bought a roundtrip ticket, and split the bill and the ticket with her so she wouldn't miss her train.

Now i can get a taste of suburbia during my holiday stay at the parents. Lawngguyland.

Ohh and in case you haven't already, watch Jersey Shore. This is televised nostalgia. Not so much because I was a guido, but because they are such a LI/Staten Island/NJ cliche.

Snookie got punched in the face!!!

play on words!!!!!

Snow days

Thank you Gawker for giving me something to read while snowed-in in Bushwick.

Brooklyn was on fire, and now the warmth come from this blanket of snow.

After that summons, I've come to enjoy photographing the homeless. Why
am I so fascinated with these destitutes?!

Ferosh...

At first I thought it was just a winter headband. But upon closer inspection it was evident that the white fuzz was fur on top of her hat. Trannylicious

Hopefully it has love for me too...

More photos of homeless people taking up too much space. Reason to acknowledge them: today was my hearing at the MTA adjudication bureau to fight a ticket I received nearly a month ago for being "sprawled out" on a Brooklyn-bound 3.

The jerk-off cop loses and I'm glad even if I spent the greater part of my morning waiting in queue to validate my point. I still have to follow through with my investigation with the NYPD because I feel as if an officer of this nature should not be out on the streets (or subway stations) ego-tripping and manhandling innocent people.

This one is for you fellow New Yorkers!

ESM pt. 2

The upper-middle class rendition of "empire state of mind"

Alicia Keys made an appearance this week on the Colbert Report. One of the highlights being her performance of "Empire State of Mind pt. 2). She had a bit of help from Colbert himself, versing on the woes of the top tier of NYC, lol.

Thank you Stephen Colbert for reminding us that refuge for us NYers is not a vacation, but seeking out sanction in the suburbs.

Couples that read together stay together. He draped his arm around here while they were each reading their own books. Then she curiously asked him how his was going.

So anal

While walking on Flushing ave. in Bushwick, I encountered this little gem:

Who was Mother Gaston? She must have been a big deal on East New York to have a blvd named after her. I think it's time to look the lady up
