Year: 2005

  • Sunny Taylor

    A friend of Toby’s was featured on All Things Considered recently. Sunny was born with a muscular disability and paints using her mouth. Her paintings need to be shared with as many people as possible. They are amazing.

  • Katrina

    When I was 19 years old, my girlfriends and I decided to drive Soung’s car down to New Orleans for Spring Break. It was to be Soung, Melissa, Katrina and me. We came up with the idea on a whim but that didn’t stop Katrina. Katrina took care of the planning. She figured out where…

  • Re-enacted by bunnies.

    I know everyone has probably already seen this, but I am usually about 2 years behind the times. This shit’s funny. Soung sent it to me. It made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Good times.

  • Graphic Design

    Yesterday, the most peculiar thing happened. I was sitting here finishing up the calendar of events for the month of March for the bar I work for when I decided to apply to some full-time and freelance Graphic Design positions. Now, if that wasn’t peculiar enough, the act of searching for a new job, I…

  • The Gates (again)

    This weekend Charlie and his wife, Kerry, came down from Buffalo to see the Gates and even more importantly, to have dinner with Toby Joe and me^ Many people reading this might know him as “GotJesus”. I’m not even sure where that name came from originally, but he’s been posting as GotJesus since as long…

  • Days of Yore

    Sometimes, life is weird. Last year, I was dreaming about moving back to New York. Now, I actually live in New York, after having moved from DC to San Francisco and then back to New York again. Who would have placed money down on that scenario? Not me. No way.

  • Feedback Received

    First of all, I’d like to thank a number of individuals who sent Toby and me feedback regarding the SPD site. (We’ve even already made changes because of it!) For example, we now have a link beneath each photograph on the site as it wasn’t fair to assume that folks knew to click on the…

  • I have a bridge for sale if anyone wants it.

    The other day while I was on my way to work at the bar, the most peculiar thing happen. It seems that after 31 long years, my superpowers have finally begun to kick in. While Toby Joe and I were walking under the BQE, a bit of road-rage broke out above. We could hear the…

  • LURKERS!!! SHOW YOUR FACES!

    Hey Nikki, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind. HEY Nikki! HEY Nikki! (Bet you never had that sung to you before.) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKKI FROM OHIO. There is this guy, he’s a friend of yours. His name is Navin (or something like that). Anyway, he wants to send you birthday wishes…

  • Back-Asswards

    How is it a gal who has several tattoos, has had her nose, ear and bellybutton pierced (at least once), nearly faints every time someone draws her blood? I have serious fear issues. My palms were dripping and I nearly fell from the stirrups^ Issues.
