kittens

I found four two week old kittens that were dumped behind maggies apartment. Its sixty dollars a kitten to drop them off at the apl. What surprises me is the overall callous reactions I get from most people I tell about my findings. A few people were surprised, or inquired what if I was going to keep any of them. But the majority told me I'm wasting my time, and money and that I should " put them in a bag and drop them off there at night". Of course if I were to find four new kittens everyday my actions and view on the situation may different. Its almost as if I was having a discussion of party politics with someone in that our conversation wasn't a debate over the ethics of dumping cute little kitties but more over the lifestyle preferences and comforts that whoever it was I had been talking to preferred to see in themselves and in this case me. almost like a personal attack........

weekend

march '08 dined at a restaurant in the east village of Manhattan called the Khyber pass

about one month prior download the Vampire Weekend self titled.

Four months after that finally get around to listening to it.

its no black album

still catchy and I can't help but like it

"I'm done with fixed gear....I wish I still had my fixed gear....I"m glad I'm done with fixed gear and fixed tricks... get a bmx bike, the only people who are good at that aren't messengers anyways, spend all there time practicing backwards circles in there Mom's garage."

summer!

the is black mold growing inside my head
the air is too thick to see past my handle bars
and there are not nearly as many bugs as i remember

unreferenceable names of inanimate objects

cranky tired, frustrated with an inability to focus on anything
snap, bite and place all the blame where it doesn't belong...

No More Subway

As a child Subway was a foreign land to me. An unexplained anomaly in the overgrown forest of fast food. When ever I was forced to go there I got the most appetizing thing on the menu, the pizza sub. A genius move taking my favorite food ever and reinventing it into sub form. As I matured my fondness for Subway did too. Dreamlike memories of riding bikes into town on a late summer afternoon to hang around the Discount Drug Mart, get some ice cream and then some Subway sandwiches to go. By this time I had moved on from the Pizza sub to the Italian BMT, which I believe stand for Big Motherfucking Tomatoes (this is not true in the least). Years later Subway re-entered my life by way of Subway Club Cards. Shortly before they were banned at all Subway franchises my brother handed me a stack of non-consecutive completely full subway club cards. This action regimented Subway at the top of the dining chain for me.Up and down the menu I went, but staying the hell away from the tuna and mystic seafood combo, Subway had become my moderate free meal with purchase of a soft drink home away from home. Like all foot long gravy trains this one too had to come to an end. And with that, so did my frequenting of subway. Years had passed, and I moved to my most recent apartment, conveniently located around the corner from a subway. I pass this establishment everyday. The aromas of fresh baked breads, frozen cheese, and high fructose corn syrup filled my nostrils with every pass. One adventurous summer day I took the plunge, and emerged with a foot long veggie with everything but onions, and a splash of honey dijion. Much to my chagrin, but paralleling what I had expected, I had invested in one of the crappiest sandwiches ever. This catalyzed a love hate relationship between the convenience of filling my belly almost immediately and the dissatisfaction of poorly proportioned sauce to food ratios, "fresh" vegetables that taste only of crunchy, and the unweighting of five dollars from my pocket. Last Monday was the straw, or should I say foot-long-sub that broke the camels back. Me and my local sandwich artist were just finishing up another mediocre stomach stuffer, and were at the final and some say, most crucial moment. The sauce. I like honey dijion, but just a little bit. My usual phrase is "honey dijion but just a little bit.....OK THATS GOOD" Monday went something like "honey dijion please...ok....thats good....ok.enough..thanks......stop...that was significantly more that what I wanted...what do you mean you wont make another...fine gimme the sandwich *and go fuck yourself cause i'm too hungry to go somewhere else and have them screw up*" mmmmm honey mustard and crunchies

needless to say I'm done with the unsatisfying transactions between me and subway. Like my roommate who quit smoking, like all those girls who quit returning my calls, and like 23 out of the 25 jobs I've ever worked..Subway I quit you!
