A Most Excellent Labor Day Weekend @ The Met NYC

Pardon me if I seem rude, really im just studying ya. Ye I know my stare doesnt break and that might bug you out. I know it seems cold perhaps even freezing, worry not tho cos its all just luvvv. This is how I became who I am. Study should last lifelong. It comes from books, from classmates whilst just a wee lad and continues while were deep in our molds wrinkly and what not... Anyway, im trying to get @ this, took yrs of photoging to actually learn: Excellent things ;) Anyhoot, a truly awesome day it twas enjoying Art in both forms, that which u can see and of coarse those waves that fancy ur eardrums...

Gustav

If I had to guess Id say hurricane Gustav will kik ass & prove once again that our leaders are unprepared, unforeseeing shmucks. Even a dumbass boxer knows, when hit on the left your guard better come up b4 that next blow does. Screw it, lets spend it on our war of terror so we can create another sucide bomber by killing someones whole family in Irak.

Im A Toker too

Pudge

I can tell by the way that my watch fits I am gaining weight. It stays put and doesnt flop around anymore. This is the effect of eating every single time I get the tickling for it. I guess its ghud to put on some weight. Being really skinny makes ones nerves ajolt at every tiny reason. When pudged moving around is more calculated and u find urself pondering whether u waant to tire ur fat ass by even moving uhtall. Havent been biking for a bit but will get back to that asap. Anyhow, its just a jot for now as my PBJ is on its way but perhaps later ill make one greater.

Hello My Name Is

ber alert and cautios I have become of absolutely everything these days. Wish I can turn this switch off and fall back into sweet mellow calmness... But I cant. Too short and fragile our lil lives are. In the past couple of months I stared down at death like it was my son. I stared at it hard and waited patiently for it to break contact. It did everytime as I've seen many apussies do in my pre giuliani bklyn youth. Shud say thk u to G-d I guess... But.. wtf is that?
The logic behind my staying extra cautios is simple, my candle I can light and then die... The force that was me created it and it will continue on. The candle will burn out but maybe I can create something that will remain far longer. Fuck remaining silent this soul and sponge given to me here on the 24th of Feb 1981, instead I will turn the volume up. Perhaps Ill create something that will remain forever.

Wanted Dread & Alive

Mental Conditioning

I preached it and will now live it... Much stress has enveloped me lately and for very good reason. I know the workings of my mind. I know, for sure, that I am not your typical thinker. I am a maniacal one. Maniacal, not in a bad sense but simply extremely calculating. I fucked up though and now have to resort to old fashioned mental conditioning. If I dont, and I absorb what the world around me wants me to, I will be in for it. And so to lala land I go. Shut off and numb to most that goes off around me... Like a blank sheet of printing paper made out of Kevlar, just itching to soak itself w/some ink. To absorb some knowledge or perhaps deflect some. Least I can JUDGE what does or doesnt get thru. And so TO HELL if it belongs there, a smile I'll share with you :)

Bullet- Sik Movie Representing How Shit Once Was Round Here

The Come Down

Now that I stopped taking anti depressant meds my doc gave me, my head is clearing and Im beginning to focus clearer, I curse myself for dismissing my girlfriends objections to me going upstate "because I promised to go with her to her best friends sisters wedding" this past Fri night. Like a shmuck I sent my girlfirend to this wedding alone whilst I too was in Monticello Fri night. Then came this mess I will be forced to forever remember on Saturday August 9th. Im a fucking idiot and she has more than enough reason to remind me yet she hasnt mentioned it since. My mistake was leaving her for the weekend because of fake friends. Ill never make this mistake ever again...

Desensitised

They say its a dog eat dog world. Well, truth be told, even ur tube can clearly tell u it is worse. Misery needs not love it, its got plenty of company these days... Desensitised we all have become just like the news anchors that flip from talking about 50 dead in a suicide explosion in Iraq to THE YANKEES TOOK IT AT SHEA TONIGHT!
Its simple, we all are guilty. I too will pay for not weeping like a starving baby EVERY SINGLE DAY because of the atrocities going down RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!! FOR NOT TAKING ANY SORT OF ACTION RIGHT FUCKIING NOWWW!

OUR WORLD IS FUCKED! I DONT WANT TO CONFORM BUT TO PSYCHIATRISTS I AM NOW BEING SENT FOR THINKING AS I DO. WUTTODOWUTODO. Worry not for the army will live on wether I do or dont and no one MD will manipulate me.

Listen again and watch in full screen!

A Word About Law

When it comes to the LAUUAAAWWWWW... It is the law of Islam which i think is best. It states a thiefs arm shall be cut off for his crime. Its harsher than the code of Hamurabi for example which states an eye should be taken for an eye. Hamurabi is a pussy and a sissy lala if U ask Me. Lennon said, an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind. Order should be kept RUTHLESSLY or it simply wont be respected, it wont be honored nor will it be followed.

Moooooood

Wayyy Past The Boiling Point

Lots has been going on the past 2 months and I haven't been sharing. Truth is I must. Especially now as things have spiralled faster than my old electric Hanukkah dreidle. W/the lights... It all started when heavy pressure was put on me since I've taken the task of opening running, training, supervising, opening and closing and driving far as fuck every day. Basically doing everything a corporation would have going on only im doing it all alone. Which is fine and all had I not a difficult brother. It too would help had that brother not been my business partner. We squabble here and there but it took a good lesson 4 both of us in order 2 look past it. It aint easy starting a business and all that nonsense. Really I would prefer and would love life living as a mountaineer camping and hunting. Rip would be by my side. Of that I have no doubt. He's a good boy and I love him very much. Not like these frikin idiot dog lovers but because hes incredibly intelligent and obedient. Quite funny how I got him actually. Couple of weeks ago Riss and I went to a pound around 3 hours from nyc. Before we got to this 1 place weve been to many and seen probably 100 dogs. Literally. Then we get this place and the first dog in the cage as you walk in was Rip Van Winkle, my boy. I looked at him well and took note that he is a sharp and calm one. I then strolled the aisles and looked at 20 or so other dogs one which was cool and seemed obedient too but it was a pit and I know I cant leave those viscous fuckers next to babies. I made my way bak to the front towards the exit and looked at Rip hard and good. I looked at him in the eye and twisted my head a bit, dont know y I this but he looked at me funny I just told the guy hes mine lemme have him. Gotta hire more people soon as our progress has been ok but not great. Again, all this has been causing me much stress which I wonder whether I want anymore. Im so fucking introspective its not funny. I have figured people out. They'll never admit it, cos their egos are at stake and thats something theyve built subconsciously since birth. Anyhow, one needs not a degree in psychology to be an expert in the field. So some "friends" of mine shot their bbs guns at my moms car and I pulled out my shot gun on em. On Flastbush and ave U. Pretty nuts but their not beautiful. After that went upstate and ended up spending a night and a day in jail.

I go upstate often and I live for climbing. I have alot of experience with it but I would definitely not say Im a pro. Im getting the hang of using a harness I got and all but i didnt have it on this day. I took my boy Rip with me and I found a nice ridge with a cliff face looking down onto a beautiful rushing, Hudson Valley, pure water, rapids. Rip cant climb so he followed me unto the vertical most point until he can no longer grip himself. So down I went and dove into this nice and deep spot where a waterfall was falling. IT WAS AWESOME! So as I made my way up of coarse after drying off with my winter military garb and putting it on. Its pretty heavy and full of fur. Twas mng and and theres a chill on the mtn tops then. I lost my grip somewhere because I did not notice a drip falling on a rock with which I foolishly used my left foot to support my weight. Its insane how quickly instinct and survival mode kicks in without even thinking. I fell around 30 feet and hit my arm hard and my head a tad bit on the way down, a catscan later proved it fine. My arm is broken however. It didnt hurt at all and still doesnt much. Soif it never happened to u fear it not so much.
The real danger was falling with alot of gear, my heavy loaded shotgun and this very thick absorbable mility outfit. I dont know how deep I fell but it definitely took over 7 seconds for me to get up for a breathe. I quickly got out and stripped down to my boxers. i dove in and retrieved my shotgun from the bottom of the river. The dive in to retrieve it i dont remember as being fun at all. At this point I had not realized the extent of my injuries. I obviously still had to climb back up and after falling once more (not a bad 1) i did successfully. Rip was right there waiting for me. So I got to my car and finally realized i was pretty fucked up. I decided to quickly head over to a friends place around a mile away. He wasn't there. Then i began to worry because even with the heat on full blast I was still shaking and couldn't understand why. i figured that out just a couple of hrs ago. Oh the fall happened on Sat mng and its around 4 in the mng mon now. I drove down a bit and noticed a model home. I walked up to it opened the unlocked front door as if it was mine. After using what i can find to bandage myself up I sat in the hot tup on the deck for a while.

Cool As That Smoky Chill That Emanates from Ice- GR

Been stressed lately because of business. Trying to biuld something so very simple yet because of things I wont mention here it has become a whole fucking FUSS! I take a military approach to things these days. I am dangerously calcualting. Objectives I set I make sure to meet. I dont fuck around at all and have become very serious. Because of how I look at things and my understanding of sociality I carry with me a commanding presence. It just formed around me naturally aftert learning enough about this horrible place we call the world. Its simple. We all are monkeys but there are some that are more intelligent. I've risen above the social norm, the socially accepted, I care not for wut any1 peron might think about my actions so long as I know it is righteous. I also care not for wut any 1 shmuck might think because 99.9% are led by either money, sex or other selfish temptations like monkeys w/bananas. You see, I care not and have no fear of/for law, courts or authority. Reason for this is simple, I dont care for money and so this makes me an extremely dificult person to keep in check and/or deal with. I dont write about most things I do and I have become more politically involved lately. I cannot write about these things because monkeys will now look at it as really strange or not right, then explanations are seeked and I cannot share. Waterboard me, kill me. Love will live on! One day rest assured it will be understood, every action I take, from the moment I wake up to that last blink before I fall is a selfless one..

Yes- Let me quickly jot that music I like or post here does not influence me uhtall. Their here cos I feel They Represent Me.

Outback These Days

The Current

So Im now living at Risses on Long Island. She has an apartment below her house that her brother used/uses. I will chill here until I find comfortable diggs eleswhere.

There aint much I can say, xcept much chaos has shrouded the path I worked hard to plow. One way or another I am confident I'll survive but, turbulent is an understatement if i were to try and describe the progress of this venture.

On a lighter note, I went to visit the fam and sone of the boyz bak in BK. I like the neighborhood Riss lives in. Altho reggins there are aplenty, it is quite and serene here. Unlike my parents house which is located in the center of a major public and private intersection. Noise all night. You obviously become accustomed to to it but to break away = freedom.

Our night was capped with a BBQ w/close friends of Riss and we all had a very good time. My new dog Rip Van Winkle is so very good a dog I cannot begin to describe. He's 3 and knows every command, every trick, game and I think I already fell in love with him. He seems to have an abandonment complex as obviously since I got him from the Humane society he has been before. He likes to stay near and he is extremely obedient so I mind it not. I love the big fucker. Pics of him will soon follow.

I Always Loved The Outback

Politik- Listen To This Song Loud And Listen Carefully

From Calm To Bomb

A lovely few days Riss and I had just spent exploring the hudson valley. Sometimes I like to imagine there is no electricity and supermarkets, luxuries and what not. I like to rough it. Just like Rip Van Winkle (also name of my new dog) the legendary mountaineer that named the Catskill Mtns. I just feel the most zen en athome while im up there. I feel my business and my happiness will peak. So much I should write but dont wanna. Like officer Schuck of Glen Cove agreed, my analogy of what happens wen one who has influence goes berserk, its like throwing a banana into a yard full of monkeys that havn't eaten for a week. DRAMA...
