Double Nickels on the Dime…

Sometimes I put on a song and let it play on repeat all day… I did it once in college, I think I was kinda outta my mind that day anyway… my friend Dave still tells the story. I’m not sure if it perpetuates my insanity or just proves it… or maybe it’s just a regular thing. I’ve been listening to this one song for the last 3 days.

Anyway… I spent a lot of time with different friends for the last week. My birthday happened and all I really wanted was to see my friends a couple at a time and to ride my bike. I did both. I miss my family… I’m gonna see them this week.

I rode up the West Side in the rain at night to attend this thing my friend Vashtie invited me to… I rode back down in the rain and stopped to take a picture of the old Frying Pan… lotta memories there.

[FRYING PAN]

Singles, circa 1992, written and directed by Cameron Crowe… he’s a genius.

[STEVE DUNNE]

[BLACK FLAG / MINUTEMEN]

I saw this in the mid 20′s…

[STYLE IS THE ANSWER]

The Beastie Boys… Music is fun.

[3M TA3]

[UNCLE WAYNE]

I took this picture Up-State on the way to work on this video shoot… it reminded me of Route 6 in LaPlata for some reason…

[THIS IS REAL]

[ONE TO BRO ON...]

I was joking this week that I was going to get a Cabbage Patch tattoo on my left butt cheek… Xavier Roberts originally called Cabbage Patch Kids “Little People” and produced them in a converted Medical Clinic in Cleveland… creepy.

[XAVIER ROBERTS]

Justin Bieber is down with KR3W.

[KR3W]

This is the Chambers st. on the J & Z train at night. I like when V’s are used in the place of U’s…

[SVBWAY]

[UNICORN vs. VADER]

Chuck Norris is down with Fanny Packs and close hugs…

[FANNY PACKS STICK OUT ON DESERT CAMO...]

Rubano, Tyler, Sarah Sat. & Me went out for Birthday dinner… then we went out on Matt’s roof and talked about summer and summers past…

[EAST VILLAGE ROOFTOP]

This T-Shirt from Vashtie’s Brand VIOLETTE is RADICAL.

[VIOLETTE ROSE TEE]

Vans did the ill colorway of an Old School and released it as part of a Ray Barbee capsule… Joel has them and wears them all the time… color me jealous.

[VANS x RAY BARBEE]

My friends Mat & Colleen took me out to one of my favorite spots for Birthday Dinner. It was Colleen’s birthday this week too, she flew in from Chicago and, as you can see, she was super stoked on my restaurant selection…

[M & C & PASTA]

[ME & WILLIE B. BRIDGE]

Moishe is Oscar’s the Grouch’s Israeli cousin… Oofnik is Hebrew for Grouch.

[Moishe Oofnik]

Sitting at the diner, I looked up and had to laugh… sometimes life’s inside jokes don’t have to go any further than…

[HALF]

Yesterday, August 23rd, was my birthday and I did something I've never done before...
You see... I'm not actually a Holiday person... I won't get into it, it's not worth getting into... normally I ghost out on my birthday, I don't answer any calls, I don't answer any e-mails... I...
