Comments Off on Mardi Gras 2023 underway

A cautionary tail for your Mardi Gras season.

I’ve been a bit of a drinker to massively understate it. I know what to do to survive. buuuuuuut… Sometimes you have to relearn the same things you’ve learned before. That’s insanity right?

So I come to… Saturday morning, its pitch black and I’m on the side of the highway.

I’m walking I don’t know where I am, hell right at that moment I don’t know who I am.

I see a light in the distance.

I dont have my camera, my wallet, my phone, my anything.

I have pants a shirt, shoes.

an Apple Watch!

I try and call Someone they are drunk and can’t help…

I’m pretty much screwed.. my battery runs out.

I walk towards a blue light in the distance. A car passes at what was probably 3 maybe 4 thousand, it was flying, I try and hitchhike and nobody is gonna stop, no way.

I must look… not worth it,.. this city.

A hour or so later it’s cold foggy and really long walk.

I get to a hospital, I know they will admit me if I seem to messed up so I just ask for a bathroom.

in the bathroom I boot up my brain and try and figure out what to do now.

I ask for a phone, but who knows numbers anymore.

After I remember my address, I ask the ladies at the counter for a cab.

I tell them I dont have anything.

they get me a ride.

sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar it eats you — man

I wake up dawn’s home, she has my stuff. I vanished in the middle of the night, I can’t be trusted. haha.

whats the take here, the moral, be careful y’all.

And ill see ya for the next round of boozo the clown.

It’s like 7 or some such bullshit time I shouldn’t be awake at. Heading to get the AC fixed in the car. It’s steamy and we’re set to break every hot weather record again this year. Don’t believe in global warming move to the south.

Dawn and I went for a bike ride last night and since I got a new phone. I just took the iPhone the new one has a pretty awesome camera.

Even though it’s hot as hell, fun must be had at all costs.

Until next time.

i turn the lights off. I open the blinds as wide as possible and just look. I dont miss a ton of things about this place but this is it.

It hums, the streets pulsate. I listen to ny1 in the background, i dont know why but second only to the sound of ny itself, the sound of ny1 reminds me of here the most.

NY, I love you but you’re bringing me down. Its ice cold or as Damien says “it’s brick”. I don’t miss this part.

Comments Off on FIT Twenty Two – I got a New Bike

I haven’t posted on here in a while.

I’m just throwing these photos up because I didn’t see many detailed ones when I was looking. If anyone would like to see anything specific let me know. The only thing that doesn’t come with the bike in these photos is the seat post clamp. If I had a quick release I wouldn’t have a seat.

Comments Off on In Oregon I Caught Crabs and had a lot of Fun Doing it.

If you didn’t know back in the day I used to shoot a lot of video. Since I moved away from NYC I kinda got into photography a little hard. The following videos are the beginning of my VLOG. I hope to shoot some more and I hope you enjoy.
