Fugitive

Today I awoke a fugitive.
I awoke around noon, though I was supposed to appear in court to contest a speeding ticket at 9.
I woke up late despite setting a total of 6 alarms on my phone (which was underneath me when I woke (great album!)), having Steve repeatedly call me and setting my faulty alarm clock (which has since been summarily smashed to bits).
I had to post $100 bond today to get off the lam and schedule another day to appear.
I was then told I'm probably not going to get to go to the Aspen shared vacation this year, which is a monumental bummer, being that last year was one of the best times of my life.
The whole day really put a damper on what was a good few days of renewal and personal growth.
Lucky for me all the bad juju wasn't powerful enough to completely wipe out the good juju I've been building up; and I'm happy to say that after a salad and some tea I'm back on top of the world!

oh, and also this...

Proposition H8

Most will look back on 11/4/08 with pride.
I will join those who look back in shame.

HALLOWEEN - What little my camera's dying battery allowed me to document



Michael Winkler wearing one of my tags and being a very bad Santa at the Corner Bistro


Halloween Indeed

Steve dressed as a woman. Sara dressed as a man. And me dressed in generally shiny things, I'm leaning in and thus you can't see my name tag. My shiny costume was essentially a vehicle for the name tags which I interchanged throughout the evening. I believe at this moment it read "Blow The Plumber".

I made a JOE THE GHOSTBUSTER name tag in case i wanted to put on my Ghostbusters jumpsuit I stole from jason who stole it from someone. I also had a YOU ARE JOE THE GHOSTBUSTER. While I decided not to wear it and instead wear shiny flowy things and various other name tags, I still brought the ghostbusters nametags with us. Emerging from the subway platform at the W4th street stop out to the street took quite a while and involved taking babysteps with a mob of costumed travelers all being squeezed through halls and stairwells. It was a foreshadowing of the disgusting mob party outside. I never thought I would see a party that rivaled Uconn's Spring Weekend for disgusting waste of a mob. During this subway herding debacle we were shoved near a man in a ghostbusters outfit. I gave him the Joe the Ghostbuster nametag, but he didn't find it all that funny and instead demanded one that said "Winston"...the black ghostbuster. Racist Ghostbuster

Obama is a Long Legged Mack Daddy


Pastor James Manning PhD of the All The Land Anointed Holy World Missionary Church in Harlem.
This man has a deep seeded, lord-inspired hatred of the "long legged freak" Obama "HE'S A MACK DADDY!"
I do suggest you scan All The Land Anointed Holy's YouTube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/ATLAHWorldwide )there are hundreds of videos, almost all are hilariously insane.

This Spanish take on that theme shows a suspicious package, which if seen, one should not keep to themselves!

Later that same day Steve DUBS inspects a suspicious package we found across the street from city hall. Within a stone's throw of the former WTC we found this gift-wrapped block of cement with balloons attached to it. It's as though someone was trying to make a point that you could leave an absurdly suspicious package pretty much anywhere in public and it could be easily unnoticed. I love Sundays.
