Bloggin' ain't easy.

Sometimes when things are crazy and shit is flyin back and forth, it's hard to take a step back, breath in and say,"what the fuck is going on?". I guess that's been the case for me the past few months. I forgot to take a breath and passed out. Only to wake up two months later to find out that summer is gone and i haven't the foggiest idea of where i've been.

However I haven't stopped taking pictures, and after i awakened from my dream, i found a few photos that somehow smuggled their way in to my camera. Who the hell took these photos and what connection do they have with me? Anyway let me know if you know.

Knockers


I feel like knockers on door add so much character to a house. When I finally become a proud home owner, I'm getting one just like this. Well actually, I found one at the 39th St antique fair, a bull's head with a nose ring that doubles as a knocker. Maybe that's a little too ambitious for my studio apartment but one day, yes... one day. This picture is from a little inn upstate in redhook new york.

Fancy feet


This was taken at the Brazilian Day Parade on 46th/6th ave. Sunday.

New York Goats




There is wild life in New York. I visited with these friendly goats, near a winery in Red Hook. I never noticed this before but goat's eyes are like cats eyes, if you turned them 90 degrees. Watch the video below to see them in action.

Hairstorming





Heather and I were trying to help Amanda find a new hair style. This is our discussion.

West side


PS1. on Saturday, I ran into an old friend I haven't seen from high school. She just moved here 4 months ago. NYC is such a dense place, you would think running into an acquaintance is extremely rare, but it happens, 2nd time in 2 weeks. What the hell? I guess sometimes we're aligned with the stars.

Mr. Magic



Lately I've been seeing a lot of street performers who don't pay any attention to their "flair" (term used in Office Space). His outfit is great, not to mention the curls on his stash, which probably took at least 30 minutes this morning.

Napa Valley




All this and wine too. The top picture was taken at Domaine Chandon and the bottom at Peju.

House on a hill


Walking down the hilly streets of SF I spotted this eerie but cool looking house. I think it was on California Street.

Victory is mine!


Like I said before, I was at a wedding this weekend in SF. I took this shot of the bride right before she cut the cake. The groom, a good friend of mine is not in the picture. I actually warned him many times not to buy the wedding band from a place called Mordor Jewelers. See!

I went to a wedding this weekend and saw a lot of cool hats during and after the wedding. Some of them were multifunctional. Pics courtesy of lil' bean via yobofunk. Had a really cool time in SF, love that city.

Portraits





I love the frames on the photos. It makes um classy. They're on display at bar called "Dublin", somewhere in the west village.

Have fun dammit!





This weekend everyone was so damn tired, we couldn't even force a smile.

Bye Alex


Sadly another candle is extinguished in NYC. We'll miss you.

The 'Ol 96er!

I haven't posted a pic of paddy for a while. This isn't his best photograph, but since the blog is named after him..... Anyway he had just come home after finishing the 'ol 96er, the famous 96 oz. steak that if finished by 1 person will allow your entire table to eat free. That night Paddy finished it in record time, beating a 17 year old record held by a Buck Russell. The staff called the chef out for confirmation but when Chef Ramsay arrived he glanced at his plate and muttered, "he's not f#%ing finished," pointing to the remaining gristle and fat. Paddy took a deep breath, slurped up the rest of his ginger ale and like a champion on Fear Factor, proceeded to choke down the last few remnants of "meat". None the less he finished it. We carried him home that night and plopped him on the couch where he remained for the rest of the weekend.

moopacking art




Saturday night in the meatpacking district and these views were the classiest that evening. I was told that the astronaut was done by an artist, once propositioned by a celebrity chef.
