Junk Drawer Vol. I

2010-05-10T20:28:00.000-07:00

I still dont have a camera. but alot of people do. they use their camera's to take images, and they even put them on the internet. i do have an internet. so i spend alot of time looking at my internet and all of the images other peoples cameras have taken. sometimes i really like what i see on my internet. so i steal the image and put it into a folder. not a real folder, but a computer folder. i rarely look at these images again unless im sick of my desktop image and i'll revisit all my stolen images.

so due to lack of interesting content in my non-internet life, here are some of those images ive stolen.

I will try and keep them loosely sorted due to their content and/or awesomenessocity

do enjoy.

I ain't nev'r scared...

2009-05-09T12:59:00.000-07:00

Been a long time...sorry for the high-ate-us but ive been busy scraping the bottom without much to share besides pity party pussy-achin'...and nobody wants to read about that whiney shit. and if they do, they can go read *Mosca's blog.

*sorry kevin, but that shit sucks.

BUT...the last two or three weeks have really turned my frowny upside downy...first off, i got a new job. It's located directly accross from my last job that i got fired from for keeping it TOO REAL. like, literally in the same building. pretty awesome walkin in there and watching the dick'mouths shiver as they make my up-side-down caramel machiatto that they KNOW i aint payin for...thats right bitch, EASY ON THE CARAMEL DRIZZLE! so thats fun. I'm now slingin' sammiches for a local eatery called "Toaster Oven" and boyyy is it easy...in comparison to Starfuck's rigid policies about tattoo's and the clueless sheeple who work there, this place is fucking awesome. Color me stoked.

On top of that, my visit to the clinic two weeks ago turned out to be the smartest thing ive done since that time i invented sliced bread. DISCLAIMER: What your about to read is really really gross. im not proud of it, but shit happens NAH'MEAN?! and NO, it has nothing to do with any diseases transmitted sexually. my reproductive organs are in tip top shape, i mean seriously...you should see it. anyhow, about a month and a half ago, i got this weird bump on my ass that was all sorts of itchy, i thought maybe i got bit by a spider in my sleep or some shit. so i itched and itched. then it started migrating (from scratching because im a dummy) and soon spread to damn near all over my body from the neck down. i would wake up at 4am scratchng myself raw in my sleep. still, i just consulted walgreens and went through a few tubes of Cortizone10 to chillax the itchy devils that now resided in my bloodstream. by now its been over 3 weeks of this. im not buggin too bad because well, it didnt spread to my face or my dick...that is untill i was taking a piss, looked down and realized HOLY SHIT IT SPREAD TO MY DICK!!!! AHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!! that was the end of me not giving a fuck about a silly rash. i IMMEDIATLY got myself to the free clinic to get'r looked at...turns out i somehow contracted muh'fuckin SCABIES. holy shit. how fucking gross am i? i have NO IDEA how i got'em but sure as shit they were now runnin rampant all over my body. the doctor hooked me up with this one-time application cream shit that kills the microscopic parasites that had infested my body. i had to wash all the clothes ive worn since i started itchin, as well as my sheets/blankets etc. pain in the ass? YES. worth it? ABSOFUCKINGLUTLEY. the itching didnt stop for a few more weeks but i was no longer contagious and the itching was no where near as bad as it was. im almost completely healed now except for some blemishes here and there that iitch a little from time to time...again, color me stoked. theres a lesson to be learned from my public display of how fucking grimey i am, it's that if you ever have a rash of ANY KIND that starts spreading, get that shit checked out ASAP. free clinics work great but if your one of them fancy pants'ers than consult your personal physician. Scabies are fucking gross and will turn your normally shitty disposition into a full on fuck-my-life attitude. Consider yourself warned.

So that was literally the bottom of the barrel for me. But once i got off my ass, all of a sudden things started finally going my way. It wasnt so much that life was shitting on ME, it was that i was shitting on my life.

In other news, my roomate Ethan moved out (on good terms) along with Jess so we had two open rooms for rent begining in May. We were a little stressed because it meant a change in the dynamic of the house, and who knows what kind of deril's would move in...but in no time flat, we found two homies who just so happened to need a spot and boom-bang-pow that shits taken care of. Both are homies from way back and theyre working out just fine, plus i moved into ethans room when he moved out which saves me $80 in rent somehow, even though its a bigger room than my last one AND ive got my own door to our sick little backyard. again, color me ______.

On top of all this, Potrero Del Sol is still only 6 blocks from me. i can skate the best skatepark in california all day everyday. never-mind the impromptu demo's that go on every night by accident because this city is chock full of pro's and bro's, but after 3 years of research, ive concluded that i was meant to skate concrete. i maintain a healthy diet of street schralp of course, but theres just nothing like going mach 9 trying to figure out the lines that Dennis just blazed, or going mach 9 and scraping a 5-0 in the deep end of the most perfect bowl ive ever skated. if you cant tell by now, i have a boner for Potrero. ive had to tape it down while i skate or BA might notice and think he might have a shot at such a ruggedly handsome man as myself. I'm such a tease, i know.

I gotta wrap'r up here because as we speak, the dudes are firing up the grill at the park and well...thats wayyyyy cooler than sitting in my room on a perfect saturday afternoon typing about how interesting i am. so go fuck yourself. get outside. skate'm if ya got'm. and NANU-NANU and all that good shit. to the 4 people that will read this, i loves ya, nev'r fer'git.

Phil Hartman (September 24, 1948 – May 28, 1998) was a Canadian-born American actor, voice actor, comedian, writer and graphic artist. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Hartman and his family later immigrated to the United States.

He attended California State University, Northridge, graduating with a degree in graphic arts and going on to design several album covers. He joined The Groundlings in 1975 and there helped Paul Reubens to develop his character Pee-wee Herman.

He first came to widespread attention in 1986 when he joined the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. There he became famous for his impressions, notably then-president Bill Clinton. After scrapping plans for his own variety show, he starred as Bill McNeal on the sitcom NewsRadio. He also had frequent roles on The Simpsons, and parts in films such as Houseguest, Sgt. Bilko and Small Soldiers.

He was shot dead by his wife Brynn while he slept in his Encino, California home in 1998.

So im back home in albany for a hot minute and i was cleaning out my old filing cabinet and came across some pictures i havent seen in some time. makes me feel pretty fucking geezer-ly but it was well worth the trip down memory lane. enjoy.
top left: how fucking awesome am i? i autographed my own pee-wee baseball card! talk about RARE, these were limited edition cards, only 8 in existence...look for them going for serious bread in 50 years...
top right: thats me illin' in the boat at loon lake, where my parents would take me for vacation almost every year up untill i was about 14. we never got to go to disneyland, or anywhere "cool" for vacation on our income but we made the best of what we had and i wouldnt trade any of the memories of camp for one of those stupid fucking mickey mouse ears hat all the other kids in class would come back from summer vacation with...fuck those kids and fuck disney land, the woods were "the greatest place on earth" for a hyper-active little bastard like me growing up...be'leee'DAT!
bottom left: holy fuck. this is probably the most important picture i have. that there is my childhood best freind Larry and my childhood dog Satin. although Satin is long gone, me and larry still keep in contact as much as possible. He's busy supporting his 3 beautiful babies in Miami choreographing hip-hop videos or some crazy shit. dude has had the best and biggest influence on my life than anyone. ask me someday in person and i'll leave you in tears...real talk.
bottom left: The greatest people on earth on their wedding day. man, my dad used to talk shit about the crazy shit i wore when i was a teenager but now i realize he has NO room to talk...he got MARRIED in that fucking suit! holy shit,i dont know if that makes him lame or the coolest fucking dude on the planet. im gunna say the latter...they're 24 years old in this picture, they only knew each other for 6 MONTHS beforehand...and you know what the crazy part is?! they're still together after all these years. nowadays thats damn near impossible to imagine. these two mean more to me than anyfuckingthing in the world, i'm truly blessed to have been lucky enough to be apart of their lives...ill stop now before i start tearing up.

The begining of an era...

This was taken in troy sometime around '04. if i remember correctly it was one of the first shelter demo's and they closed off the entire street so we could dick around on a bunch of jump-ramps and boxes...so much fun. looking at this i cant believe how young bova looks, or how young all of us look to be honest...bro's for life...

my people.

2008-09-09T16:51:00.000-07:00

TOP LEFT: Ryan DeMatteo, founder of the shelter skatepark. his contributions to all of our lives will never go unappreciated. seriously, none of us would be where we're at if this dude didnt sacrifice as much as he did for our cause.
TOP RIGHT: Crunchy Black re-inventing exxxtreme
BOTTOM LEFT: me and Nick Ace soaking in the majesty of thatcher park.
BOTTOM RIGHT: Samson Contompasis; If you live in albany, and dont know who this dude is...well thats actually impossible. easily the most respectable, stand-up dude on the planet. his life story will make millions. probably the most genuine sincere dude you'll ever meet.

look at these assholes. seriously, this picture captures so much raw sexual energy im having a hard time not cranking one out as i type this.

Stab ya brain whitcha nose-bone...

another week, another cuddewy wuddewy picture of my roomate...

found this trollop waltzing across the street...is EVERYone pregnant in the ghetto?

took a little trip to the albany bike rescue on trinity ave with phillips...this place is a goldmine of used and unwanted bike and parts...more importantly they have allthe tools you could ever need and a staff that can help you along the way...great place to hook up your whip...

they're carrying on the "white bike memorial" here in albany...they paint bikes all white and leave them at intersections/places where cyclists have lost thier lives...all in hopes of raising awareness for all those who share the road with cyclist's...

another week, another trip out to Pittsfield/GB Mass to kook out with homies away from homies...BUT FIRST...

we had to make a quick stop at tastee-freeze to load up on barely legal cleavedge and sprinkles...

i wonder how often this dude sings into his ipod nanny when he DOESNT have a car full of dudes with him...my guess is ALOT...

finally we hit our first destination of your trip...THE GARDEN skateshop in Pittsfield Mass...gear up to stay fly...

owned and operated by no other than Kill Bill...(who's pup has excellent aim btw)

10 Deep is oh so hot on the shreets right now, and most of thier pieces are a bit too flashy for my tastes BUT...this tee is ten shades of dope...

i dare you to find a better shop in western mass...unless you count the OTHER garden shop in great barrington...well done mates!

take 40+ boxes of freshy nikes, 4 dudes and one 4 door honda civic...what do you get?

an uncomfterable ride home...

but before we make the final trip home...you KNOW we had to get nice on some Brickhouse burgers...

ended our journey by getting whooped on by evan "sparkles" smithers...good thing the SAUX won 11-0 or i wouldve been uber-bummed...

all in all another great week...

stay tuned kiddo's...

Beautiful...Fucking...Creatures...

The Garden Skateshop in Great Barrington MA...go get geared up...tell'em TT sent you and see how far it gets you...

then we were off to the Brickhouse Pub to bro out over Brickhouse burgers and shuffleboard...

So this is my new roomate Waylon...so far he's hasnt warmed up to me too well...maybe this sensitive flick of him will turn things around...

Fun with long exposures...arent we clever?

We met up at Qua's www.quaphoto.com for a great mini-sesh...good times had by all...thanks mate!

when youve skated the shit out of every nook and cranny you can find in the city, you gotta get'r'done the DIY way...mixin the quick'crete at an undisclosed apartment...

yeah so thats it for now...hope your not as let down as i hope your not...

drugs and kisses...TT

wake up, wake up, it's the post of the monnnnnnth...

2007-06-17T20:29:00.000-07:00

ah what a whacky whacky life we lead, hope for the best and try not to breed...

so im fully moved into B-Block...what a giant pain in the taint that was eh?

finally found the group photo from the SPB blowout from a few months back...i dare you to find either me, bova or white...yeah good luck...we got mad incognito on this one...

stay tuned...

2007-05-28T23:12:00.000-07:00

i did my best to spend my last days in SF wisely...i had alot on my plate what with finals due, moving all my crap and somehow finding time top make shred with the dudes...nonetheless, i accomplished all these things and by the time i boarded the plane home i was definiteley ready and willing to spend the rest of my summer back in albany...

this dude couldnt play violin for shit, but he did make for a nice flick...

this was the state of my room maybe 4 days before i had to be packed up and gone...AND i still had to finish my final for analysis of form (pictured)...so yeah, in my classic form i pulled an "accomplishment bender" and got my shit together...

"get in the god damn van" always a good time with shea behind the wheel...it was dave's informal bachelor party...he celebrated by get shitfaced and punching anyone within arms reach the whole way home...

so that sunday was my official last day...just so happened that the mayor threw me a party...

mmmyeah not really...go ahead and google "bay to breakers" to see what the hell is going on here because i still cant quite figure it out...its like tulip fest except there are 70,000 people, all in costume and pushing keg-floats throughout the entire city...lots of fucking meyhem all around, but for the most part it was really fun and a great way to say g'byes...

so there you have it...a month by month guide to how ive spent my time in SF in pictures...definitley cant wait to get back...

so i headed back to ny on a red eye flight that dropped me off at JFK at 8:30am...which was perfect because everyone i know in the city (especially those with any sort of transportation) were busy at work...so i caught some much needed sleep on a park bench in the middle of queens and eventually met up with friends and had a great exchange of high fives...my old friend sarah was nice enough to put me up for the night as long as we could have a photo-shoot for her blossoming modeling oppertunities...i was flattered and we got into it...fun times indeed...

the next morning i woke up and awaited trevor's arraival...we kicked it all around brooklyn for the day and headed back upstate once we knew rush hour wouldnt fuck with our travels...

i woke up the next morning, called ma-dux and she picked me up to bring me home...

untill some idiot pulled out of a gas station and smashed into us...i saw the whole thing happening before it actually happened and braced myself appropriatley, if i hadn't my legs probably wouldve gotten pretty fucked up...since it was in no way my mothers fault hopefully the insurance company will take care of paying for a new door...

the next day i headed straight to b-block for some bro-b'que...

so the grimiest jank/junk spot was recently stumbled upon recently and i got a chance to go check it out...the nieghborhood was what barbera bush would deem "undisirable"...

and then...there it was...all set up and ready to be shredded...

appearently its also a great place to cook beans while you shoot heroin...just hoping whoever the frugal junkie was wont be back anytime soon...

wallride to fakie...yeah i know...shocking...(photo by curtis)

so thats my monthly post...dont expect another update anytime soon...ive been bringing my camera almost everywhere i go but my laziness gets the best of me and a rarely want to break it out and make people uncomfterable etc etc...theres some big things going down in july so the next update should be chock-full of fun...

untill next time...

IM PRO AT CRASTINATING...

2007-04-22T22:11:00.000-07:00

SO...where do i start??? the last few months have been...well...fuck it, i hate the word too but EPIC really hits the nail on said nail head...

So what's gone down you ask? well...Bri (better known as "dreamdate") came across the country to spend some quality time, and a quality time we sure had...took her to all my favorite spots and she got to meet a good amount of my homies out here...then, just as she leaves, the Shelter Seed Squad (Bova and White) shows up at my door all "dude, whatsup"...and im all..."dude, rad!" and theyre all "dude, sick!" and im all out of ways to make this funny...

Not only that but the Silly Pink Bunny convention was the same weekend which means SPB Dons from all over the country (including upstate ny) would be making shreddery all over your asses...and by that i mean some really good times were on the horizon...So as you can tell my plate was full...kinda like how my head is full of pot-addled brain cells and didnt load my pictures in any kind of cronological order...so before you get a headache from the randomness of the following set of pics just remember...uhmmmm...eli whitney invented something...actually some broad invented said "thing" first but she doesnt count because...uhmmm...yeah this is why im in art school and not "real" college...eat me fuckers...

oh and enjoy...its a shame i wont be keeping the same room for next year so i could keep this wall of fame going but ill still keep it going somehow...
pidgeons love my blueberry muffin crumbs...i almost got to catch one too...i wouldve named him or her "sawyer"...
i coulnt time this frontside to save my life, and the one time i actually get it right, he fucking bails...he made it plenty of other times trust me i swear...

like previously mentioned i made the great decision of making moves back to albany/nyc for spring break...although i have zero dollars in the bank i will admit i had probably the best week of ecent memory...god times were had by all and i captured a good portion of it on my camera...so here you go kids, this is my trip through the lens of my lumix...

im going to try and get these in logical/chronological order after class...untill then...deal with the randomness etc...there are a bunch id like to caption but im out of time at the moment...

BERT was proabably happiest of all to see me home...

SPRING BREAAAAAK WHOOOOO!

2007-03-15T19:44:00.000-07:00

I made an easy decision a few weeks ago and purchased tickets to fly back home for spring break...there were people i didnt get to see my last time through and some people i wanted to see alot more of so this was a pretty necissary trip...

im bringing my camera with me, so get ready for an assorment of poorly taken pictures while drunk and disorderly...if your not a douche you might even grace this blog with a candid of your pretty face...lets make some magic kids!

im that much zicker now

see you's soon!

goodbye horseeeeeeeeeeee's

2007-03-06T19:09:00.000-08:00

wallemberg...or is it wallenberg? whatever...

trevor wasnt feelin it...things got a bit out of hand...

on the lamb...

the next few days werent nearly as nuts as the rest of trevors stay here but that was mainly due to trevor catching a mean case of vaginitis...i call it that because when he went to the hospital to figure out why he was feeling like a used condom all day, they couldnt quite figure it out...they ruled out some of the serious stuff but all in all didnt help much when it came to curing trevor's affliction...i called him today and he says he's feelin better now but has been in bed feeling like shit since he got back, i guess he couldnt handle how awsome it is out here and his body rejected it on principal...but im no doctor...

nonetheless we had some good times untill he left, since then its been pretty poring around here...i might be singing a different tune if the bears didnt lose the superbowl on sunday but whatever...im over it...

untill next time...

while i have some time ill give an update on my last week or so...pictures will come later but for now im too lazy/tired/lazy to do all that so...here goes...

thursday night was one for the ages in albunny...not only was it MY last night there, but sam's as well...oh yeah and it happened to be the 27th anniversery(sp?) of mike's release from his mommy's womb...so there were many different reasons to celebrate...we started at bummer's to get that free margarita for mr. mike and eventually headed to pinto and slob's for kareoke...yeah...kareoke...seriously...mike got up and did a number from DIO's long list of classics and i followed up with a little sam+dave "hold on im comin"...needless to say there wasnt a dry vagina in the house that night...after screaming the entire song i felt like i was going to explode out of my mouth so i caught some rest on the bench outside of the bar...bad idea...because when fat girls in sunglasses see this, they immediatly think its ok to sit on my face...after going ass to mouth with said fatty i was forced to break the news to her that not only does she have a brand new collection of STD's, she also needs to realize that her future isnt THAT bright and thus doesnt need her facial accesssories...unless it was a brown bag...then maybe she could pass for something i might put my penis in...

moving on...

i decided to make moves and head home and gave mr. phillips a ride to b-block since he was in no shape to make the walk alone without getting ionto some sort of trouble...i also used his impared sense of judgement to convince him that he should jump in a dumpster...he didnt hesitate what-so-ever...way to be phillips...way to be...xoxox

(pictures of all of this will be up by the end of the week hopefully)

so i woke up the next morning, had breakfast with the family and got on that magic machine that would eventually bring me across the country back to SF...but first i had a layover in north carolina where i was relieved to find i could smoke INDOORS while i got drunk...god bless the south and thier unwvaering support of scumbagism...my flight got delayed for a few hours so once again i swore on my left testicle i would never fly US AIRWAYS again...terrible flight attendants and too many flight delays and headaches and blahblahblahblah just dont fly with them...trust me...

once i was in SF i got to my new room and awaited trevor's arrival...shit has been insane since...once he was unpacked we headed out to bomb hills and grab some beers with shea and his girl...met up with them at the attc and eventually the whole damn crew was there and i got to introduce trevor to my homies away from my homies, he was pumped...especially about the talks of a trip to the new sacramento concrete park the following morning...we had a few more beers and headed home...woke up to a call from shea telling us to meet up at pissburger alley to load into the van and make our way to sacto...that park was just insane...tons of underage rippers there making us feel old and slow but we of course had fun nonetheless...i believe this was trevors first time skating concrete bowls and he of course handled them with ease...ear to ear grins all day...if it wasnt for the over-abundance of little kids on razor scooters and loller bladers that place wouldve been really REALLY fun...but thats not the eparks fault, just shitty timing on our part...we headed back to sf but not before we hit up IN N OUT burger...god damn that place is indeed "whats up"...deeeeelish...just as we were getting back to the bay we caught an incredible sunset over the rolling hills of california, you couldnt ask for much more from one day...i told trevor i wasnt sure i would be able to match the level of awsomeness that was sunday for the rest of the time he was here but as it turned out, monday was right on par...

so we woke up monday around 11, got some breakfast on powell st and made our way to DLX...hung out and bullshitted for a little while and trevor got to meet some of the older upstate transplants...we were headed out the door when timmy walked in and was looking for dudes to make shred with...we hopped in his truck and headed to redwood city to skate this really rad but mellow (compared to sacto) park...some local kid who coujldnt have been more than 17 was absolutley putting it down with absolutley no effort...words cant really express how steezy this kid was, im pretty positive youll see what im talking about at some point, if he isnt am/pro by the time he's 18 theres something very wrong going on in the "biz"...

moving on...

we took off from redwood and went to menlo where trevor once again fell in love with concrete pools...i was just starting to warm up when i ate shit harder than i have in a long long time...straight to flat...knocked the wind out of me and left me in the fetal position for a good 60 seconds...once i got that first breath of air back though i knew it was on like con-ed...now that i knew i wasnt going to fall much harder than i already had i wasnt as afraid to shred the pool and finally learned how to keep my speed and really push the corners etc etc...overall we all had a blast and skated untill the last bit of daylight was gone...got back to SF around 6 and went to tims to roast some of that killer cali and check out his chopper-bike...its not finished yet but when it is...goood god damn...that shit puts a puch to fucking shame...100% 'merican badass...

ended the night by sippin beers on the street and heading over to the hemlock for punk rock and skate video night...some cute little punker-dyke gave me her number and told me to come over with a bottle and she'll cut my hair...im in need top...of a haircut AND maybe a black eye from trying to get some sort of dyke on dyke on me action...we'll see...

so yeah...thats about it for now...pictures will be up soon...untill then...eat shit

new years 05-06

even though i rarely ever used it, i really miss having an assault rifle...

i had to change this pic from color to black and white, otherwise it could quite possible BLOW YOUR MIND....

you dont let a photo oppertunity like this just slip through your fingers...

i know what your thinking..."stop trying to look hard"...well im not...im just trying to not vomit in nicks car...

a few random sketches ive had sitting in my computer that ive always liked...

never forget to always remember...

this next series chronicles my last weekend in the bunny untill summer...started off friday by getting in a few rounds on the table before the show...

scott was upholding a strict "no drugs or alcohol" policy for his basement so i had to get started kinda early so he didnt flip his bitch switch...F.Y.I. six american dollars will get you six american bowling pins full of budwieser at SAM's...

we trudged over to his house and HOODS UP eventually un-impressed everyone with a ripping set full of missle drop-kicks, bloody faces, and other sorts of tomfoolery...most everyone had smiles on their faces throughout the set so i fugure at least most of the crowd was somewhat entertained...this is likely the last hoods up set for a good long while...hopefully we can get the recoreded shit off to get pressed before summer and maybe have some sort of "release show" but dont hold your breath...

we "broceeded" to the local watering holes and began our mystic voyage into drunken oblivion...

kevin looks how i feel...if there are any scientist's reading this please feel free to explain what the hell is exactly going on here because i sure as shit cant figure out how kevins hair and scarf are defying the law of gravity...

id like to introduce you to dave's "oh" face...

no night would really feel complete without a trip to johnny dog's for our daily allowance of the 'merican eat's...

"BEER'S lookin at you kiiiiiiiiiid"

id be a liar...NAY, a blasphemous heathen!! if i said that this weekend was nothing special...so much love for all those involved...

id like to put captions to all of these but im not nearly as funny as i think i can be so ill leave this as an open invitation for you to submit any captions you'd like bestowe upon me...winners will recieve a lifetime supply of high fives...

NEW YEARS EVE PICS

2007-01-11T23:00:00.000-08:00

maybe its cruel to play with your food while its still alive but...well...they were delicious regardless...

plus we granted them their last wish's...who knew robsters craved jamaican ale before they're boiled alive?

since he was later inside me, this could be concidered foreplay...

i offered to fully convert sawyer to judiesm but he declined...probably thought he might get laid that night and didnt want to cock-block himself...but his help in the kitchen is well appreciated regardless of his foreskin "issues"

greg isnt too pleased with sawyer's new found religion...sawyer isnt taking his hostility very well...ill keep my fingers crossed that they make it through this rough patch in their relationship...

all in all my time back home has been memorable to say the least...and i still have another week to go...

there's no "i" in dumbass...

2007-01-11T00:47:00.000-08:00

coffee...cigarettes...beer...this was a perfect spot for consuming such things...plus when it rains you can totally spit on people without them knowing...

pretty things taken during good times...but that should really go without saying...

the amount of "crucial" songs under these nerds belts is astonishing...

the good ol' boys came to town...

consider this my training facility...note the crucial grill...steak-n-pong sundays cant be beat...
thats about it for the SF pictures for now...

after spending over 24 hours inj aireoports ans aireoplanes i got back to town...i realized not much had changed...thats either because it had only been a few months...or its because its albany...where time stands still...probably a little of both...

spent my new years at riess' house in delmar...good no GREAT times were had...turducken, lobsters and bacon wrapped steaks were a hell of a way to say goodbye to 2006...

lark st. in the wee hours of christmas eve...OPEN BAR DUUUUUDES!!!

the addition of a ping pong table at B-Block has spawned a whole new level of fun...except for when Momsca/Copsca isnt harshing mellows...

thoughts of the upmost importance...

2007-01-10T23:48:00.000-08:00

ok...so ive started this blog off on a bit of a lathargic foot...my first post got a bit sappy and "deep" but i promise ill keep the mellow-dramatic whimsy to myself...or at least try...

id like to keep this in the vien of a photo-blog and keep from all the idealistic ventures in creative writting for myself, as to avoid future embarassment in case our paths ever do cross...

since i bought my very own (legally purchased) digital camera (panasonic LUMIX fx-01) a few months back ive been keeping it pretty busy whenever i can...mostly just pictures of random bullshit i come across in my day-to-day...along with keeping your expectations low, you should expect to see alot of my idiot firends being idiots, and maybe some artsy fartsy oppertunities i may come across while staying in either SF or albany...

when it rains, it pours...

2006-12-13T17:42:00.000-08:00

three months ago i waived goodbye to my parents as they stood in the driveway waving back like ive seen in so many movies...with the house i grew up in for sale and my "better late than never" move across country,(to try and finish school) all going on at once, it was hard not to get a bit misty-eyed watching my parents smiles fade into the distance...my loyal confidant Tony Fed was gracious enough to give me a ride to the big shitty so i could catch my flight out of JFK. in hindsight im really glad he was the one to wisk me away from the tar-pit that is albany ny, and bring my ass to the plane that would deliver me to my new life in san francisco california. he's a righteous dude.

this being my first blog i guess all im trying to do is get myself in the habit of writting down some of the random bullshit that floods my head on a daily basis. and seeing as though the last three months of my life have been easily the craziest, greatest and all together weirdest 3 months of my life, i would like to try and keep track of this mayhem in some way. so here i am, staring at a computer screen trying to think of something worthwhile to say to the millions and buhzillions of people that will read it everyday...yeah, totally...

okay thats it for now...one down...too many to go...

see you soon albany,
xoxo TOMMY
