Just a Little Walk


So last week after helping my friend Dave with a little renovating on his place we decided to do Taco Bell for late lunch. Well, since Dave had been inside all day we then decided to take a detour on the way back to his place. Little did we know our detour would take about 2 hours.
We walked to the river, only about 3 blocks and then we said why not walk over to the bridge....then why not over the bridge(neither of us had ever been)...then why not walk around the island (Wards/Randalls Island)...then upon inspection of the island (Insane Asylum and the huge homeless shelter) we said we need to find our way back OFF this island quick. Funny, I knew the bus goes out there because I took the bus to get out there last fall for a Rugby tournament but the first/last stop is the homelss shelter and as we walked past it we saw people in the woods and such. There are no pictures of that because, yeah, the camera-phone went away. The trees and fences are so high out there that we weren't sure which way it was back to the bridge. But, alas, we found our way back just in time because the sky started to grow dark and not long after we were back home the rain started.
Was a nice, unexpected kind of day that you remember.

Thanks.

Have You Ever.....

just wanted to cry and you can't? Ever feel like you just don't remember how? Lately I think I just can't anymore. I have been let down a number of times lately, just loving/hating my life, being happy with what I have/wanting more out of myself but you would think at least once I something would come out of me. At least a glassy eye; nothing. I know I am incredibly guarded at all times and I am the one people honestly love to be around because I make you feel good about yourself, but I am starting to think that being that person really does take its toll on me personally. I don't know why. Maybe it is just the giving; what is really left for me. Now I am not saying it is anyone's fault but my own. In the phrasing of Vincent from last season's Project Runway, " I don't know but it gets me off". I do like to make people feel good. Maybe it is I am just saturated with what people say is Real NY. NYC is so real. NYC is about as real as Los Ang...

A Big Hello to......

Mr Eric Larson . Chris at Clever Fool . A couple of readers who were nice enough to identify himself somehow to me. There are more people I could list but I think I will just list a couple at a time and you can also check out their blogs, if they have one and maybe add it to your favorites. Well, on your favorites list below mine, of course. Headed to the park now. Have a sunny Saturday, I will.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.
