What Do You Say, We Give the Term Pro-Life New Meaning.
Before I start this post, I need everyone to know that while I am pro-choice, I’m not pro-baby-killer. I like babies. They’re a little funny looking being bald and all, but I like them. The tornado that recently swept through the Midwest killing at least 21 people was a tragedy. Nature hasn’t been very kind…

Top 10 Reasons My Top Ten List Will be Better Than Letterman’s Last Night
10). My sidekick has a leg lamp tattoo. And hair. 9). It won’t include items that make you nervously wonder, “Am i supposed to be laughing at this? or is it bordering on racist?” 8). You can take all the time you want reading each one. 7). Because when I said, “That wasn’t at all…

The Message.
Yesterday, Soung, Kim and I met at Enid’s for brunch. The three of us are Penn State Graphic Design alumni. It had been nearly 4 years since I last saw Kim. Even though I don’t see her very often, she’s the type of person I feel privileged to know. Kim works for a massive cellular…

Pavlov Cries Wolf.
I played a lot of soccer as a kid. I was actually pretty damn good at it, too. Sure, I couldn’t jump rope, dance, cheerlead (although I tried), do backbends, splits, or dress up very well. But I could play a mean game of soccer, softball, and basketball. Even though I usually played right wing…

Brooklyn Loves NOLA and I Won!
On Friday, Toby Joe and I went to Enid’s for the one and only Brooklyn Loves NOLA benefit. Originally, we were just gonna pay our entrance/donation fee, have a drink, and then leave as we’re not much into big crowds and the place was packed. Instead, we had the most excellent evening, sharing drinks, and…

Anti-Bush T-Shirt Performance Art
On Sunday, Toby Joe and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge in order to check out the 9/11 WTC memorial in downtown Manhattan. I knew it was going to be an emotional day and figured I should try and make the best of it by throwing myself directly into it. It took us about an…

I Have A Lot of Time To Give, I Just Don’t Know Where To Spend It
Toby and I just got back from dropping off four large boxes filled with bedding, clothing, shoes, and other necessities at a Brooklyn UPS distribution center. After calling a list of places found via the Red Cross as well as our local Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity in search of small ways to lend…

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I’ll piss on ’em
That’s what the statue of bigotry says. —Lou Reed. Spending a week in the country and returning to this can do a number with one’s existence. Prior my knowledge of the hurricane, I mentioned that I need to redirect my life. I’m not sure what day it was because after a day or two without…

Hurricane Isabel Arrived Two Years Late
Yesterday afternoon, Toby and I heard thunder rolling in over the city. I love thunderstorms. One of the reasons I wasn’t able to embrace the West coast – more specifically, San Francisco – was due to its predictable weather. There is nothing more intriguing that the schizophrenic weather of the Northeast. Growing up with it,…

Anna and Her Battle Wounds
This is Anna: Anna is a Gotham Girl. She’s on the Brooklyn Bombshells. (She’s the one on the far left.) Anna comes home with a lot of bruises. Yesterday, Anna let me take a picture of her worst one to date. Ouch. I’m not sure how she does it. (I’m also not sure how she…
