A home for the holidays.

I FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE!
Not sure when I move in yet folks, but I’ll be living on the Lower East Side. Not the best location (a little far) but the price is good, the place is a good size, and damnit, it’s city time. I’ll be about a 10 minute walk from [...]

Do You Know Vince Vaughn?

Me either. But I want to try a little experiment. Lately I’ve come up with some little one liners that I can easily picture Mssr. Vaughn uttering in a movie to the audiences great delight.

Huge Clothes on Average People

This morning as I was walking to work I passed a number of what i would describe as “hoodlums” “toughs” “gangstas” or “douchebags.” I am just baffled at the love of wearing clothes that are just gigantic on you. I mean baffled.

I’ve noticed that when [...]
