Excuse me for falling off the face of the earth. I havent had to much time to blog in the last month and a half, but ive been thinking about it. I moved out to Colorado for a few months literally the day of my last final. I took a train out of the city to Kristens house and we drove straight threw the night and got here some time the next night. What a horrible idea. Ive driven cross country a few times now , straight threw even. But doing it on 4 hours of sleep after two finals is like the worst thing to do ever. It ended up being only 28 hour hours or something, which seemed like a month to me. along the way we took 80 out to somewhere in Iowa and we decided since weve seen Nebraska so many times and that its so awesome we would bypass it this time to save energy and excitement to see Kansas this time threw. During our kansas experience we were shocked to learn kansas city isnt even in kansas. its in missouri. LOL who would of ever known. Although it isnt such a bad place after all. continuing on route 70 threw the night we had some heavy rain and fog .. i wasnt really paying attention intill it was to late and i ran over the most absurd roadkill that could ever happen. we hit a dead elk. but it wasnt just like bumpbump it was like 100 feet of explosion and carcus and im almost positive we were airborn along the way. . anyway a little ahead i stopped and learned the underside of our car was leaking profusely and there wasnt a place to stop that was open for an hour or so. it turned out only being water or some shit and the car was okay but i think theres still bloody pieces of elk stuck to the bottom of the car.
we arrived to boulder safely afterall and ive been here for about a month and a half now, i love it here! im working a bunch but having alot of fun as well. theres still snow to snowboard on, and theres the sickest creek to go tubing on. come visit we have alot of room and shit.
heres some random photos i have from the last month or so
MORE to come SOON i just need to drink coffee and cook breakfast
went to home game 2 at citifield. i love this place more and more each time i go. I went out to the game with craig this time he had some extra ticks . man what a fun time. we didnt really sit in one spot, but we ended up first row on the 1st base side right where the outfield stops, had some brews got some balls, got obnoxious almost got kicked out.
SPRING BREAK>>>>> uhhhhh yeahh. so instead of doing something cool on spring break i decided to just come home save money and sleep alot , fatten up with all the free food , and get a little personal photo stuff done , ive been working on my site i have some new work i want to put up and i also am creating new galleries which will make it easier to view. you wont have to go threw all the images to see something you want or whatever i dunno, ive just been getting bad feedback about that. buttttt ive been having alott of problems with everything that has to do with website creation and im loosing my mind so i stopped for awhile. so last sunday, i went to citi field (new shea stadium(mets)) to see the redsoxs exhibitiotnonn game against the mets. it was pretty sweet redsox scored 6 in the 1st . then all the mets fans left. but better then the game was the new stadium . citi field is AMAZING. a work of art. it blowsss the new yankee stadium away. it was really awesome to my sister got sickk tickets in this suite type place. it was awesome.
heres a shot from inside citifield
and the new yankee stadium
this starts a whole nother topic i never had time to getinto a few weeks ago when it was going on,
me and craig went back to the new yankee again , this time to shoot a stop animation skit he has been wanting to work out. we got that done(below),then played in the stadium unsupervised for almost 4 hours. hahaha i have some photos to show you, ill prolly keep updating this because there sooooo mannyyyy and im just toooo lazzzyyyyyy.

HMM soo since the cool thing to do lately besides smoke crack is to take pictures of richard (everybodys doing it) i went out of my way to get a minute with him . and since hes a pretty hard guy to get some free time with . i tricked him into my random shoot today. richard \/
Excuse me for thinking i found the weirdest person earlier this evening . Because i am pretty sure i have actually found the weirdest person alive .. Please view.
Alright, ive seen some interesting people on the streets, in the subways, in holes, in trees, in alleys, in the gutter, etc. along the duration of my stay in NYC. This guy tops the charts.i found the weirdest person ... it kind of blew me away when i saw this dude in the 42nd street ace subway station... i was walking from port authority underground to the 1 train last night at like 8 pm . when i heard music from around the corner. theres always this one spot where theres some unusal street entertainment act going on. this one time i saw a 3,4in michael jackson replical doing the moonwalk with a crowd of like 300. im sure he made more in an hour then i even have in a week, haha. anyway. so i look to the spot where the music is coming from . i dont see anything. then im like awWTFFFF wtf is that ...thing . is it a guyyy.. i looked at him for like 3 minutes and i swear to you it didnt make one move. i then read his thing. "Moves for money" .. iwas then pretty sure it wasnt a person in there. lol.... i walked away took a shitty picture and waited . this little kid entered a dollar. and it started moving for like 30 seconds to the 90s computer music that was playing, but its feet remained stationary. .... haha i dunno this is a pretty brilliant idea i think. i i didnt have dollar. but i would have putten in 5 in if i had it hahaha.
Saturday at home, not much going on here in warwick *or so i thought (scroll down) , i drove around pine island looking for people to shoot again, either they didnt want to be photographed or they didnt speak english. and the one person i did shoot, thought i worked for the FBI , he was a little bugged out so i didnt really get a good shot. oh well.. **i can not believe that today was mt peters spring rally, and i missed it. spring rally is awesome its a bunch of ridiculous people drinking and eatting and theres a wacky water skiing contest and some ghetto big air. prolly would of gotten hammered drunk and watched a bunch of fails. oh well. i crusied up there real late at like 5 to see if anyone was still around. all i found was the saddest big air jump ever created.
i started shooting my story about the waiting grounds up inbetweenth 11 n 12th aves. i spent a little while up there this afternoon before class shooting. i got a couple portraits. it seems like the busdrivers are so bored that it makes them more then happy to be photographed unless there working under some sort of corporation which doesnt allow it. i dont no. there was some truckers too but everyone was asleep. The bus drivers seem a little more active. i was there later in the afternoon today and it seemed a little dead considering other times i have driven threw the area. anyway here are a few shots from today.
hahah. im still being lazy and havent gone threw photos from yesterday... but im sure this is better. me andrew maness and nate farrell were in the woods at northstar in tahoe one afternoon and umm the snow didnt pack well i geuss. i dunno didnt ollie high enough or something yeah . i got over first time and fell then this happend. nate did it though
i went back to the new yankee stadium again today. i shot some stuff for ike love jones craig giambrone. i was there around october and the place was looking to not be ready for april. but there alll done now. ill post a bunch of stuff about it . it was x treme.
Menkimati is like maybe one of my favorite skate videos but this is like the all time best part ive ever seen and its been with me for like 10 years or something

....deseo que todos ustedes tengan un día bueno, yo espero tiempo que bueno es de volver, como pasado. bueno adiós
Generally, you will never ever find me hanging outside around campus , i dont no what it is. id rather be somewhere else or something maybe. its sort of seems a little to trendy to me , i dont no if anyone else sees it this way.. but when you take the crowds on 27th street and break them down into groups..... its 9% of the people who actually smoke cigarettes and need to cure there addiciton......then you have the group where i might fall into, you see someone you know. have a few minutes and hang out, or just like to enjoy the nice weather(today).. 11% .. then you have like the majority of the kids here that are outside smoking cigs not even if they like to . just to be trendy and show off there designer bags and like weird other clothing and accesoriieies.. normally you get grilled walking past the crowds. 70% .. then my favorite crowd of all .. look out for them...they are there.. its the local buisness men and associated creeps who love to "take lunch" and sit in front of nagler hall for awhile , just "to eat" though. hmm right. or maybe- hmmm nevermind. 10%..... i guess i may be wrong for judging people... because i never do judge people. its just ive had alot free time to think about this. k ummmm well anyway... i meet up with some kids today and ended up sitting aruond campus for like hours. but it was ssooo nice out . heres a couple photos
UMMMM this guy falls into the 9% of people at FIT who actually MUST smost cigarettes some of my buds richards pretty stoked,, he just got a delivery job at amadeus pizza. ha sickkkkk ladies and gentlemen... Ben Pasternack Terminator lol wtf another way of transportation in nyc SEE YOU LaTER!
hmmm. Wednesday march 18th. yesterday was st patricks day, i woke up prettttyyyyyy fucking sore. last night i was going to meet up with some kids that were walking down to corner bistro. so i took my skateboard figuring id cacth up with them faster. as i caught up to them . moving pretty fast (ofcourse) i hit a motha fuckin sewer thing and flew off and rolled and hit stuff and ouch. so yeah. but bistro was swell. had a good time, not to much drinking but thats okay.
backtracking a few hours before all this happend, i was anxious to fix the bike since that shit got funky on me yesterday. i took it to chelesea bicycle where i waited a long time to get waited on. in duration of my wait , i couldnt help but to ease drop on a conversation going on with , which seemed to be the owner and two customers being waited on about there bike. (i think they were married) i geuss they were all talking about Photoshop cs3? and it turned it to like the married dude saying he was going to get a macbook pro and he wanted photoshop, then the owner guy trys to tell them. nahh you dont need a new sweet mac laptop... you should buy my toshiba desktop , (which he said he bought in 98 and has never used) because it was in wonderfull working condition. im just like LOL. the deal is hed throw in cs3 for an extra 300 bucks. anyway it got realllyy awkward becasuse this jabrone fucking owner keept telling him , you dnt need a laptop just get a desktop, in the end the wife lady flipped out and started screaming... DAVVIIDDSS GEETTTIINGGG AA MAACCBOOOKKK PRROOOO ANDD THAATTTSS ITTTTT! and they stormed out....
K so by that time my bike was already opened up and being looked at. turns out the bottom bracket slide out because it was loose i think.. I say I THINK... because he tryed to charge me 115 bucks due to "worn threads" on the frame and they "neededd" to be fixed... i checked it out. they looked a little worn but not 115 dollars worn.... i told him no i aint payin and he just put the crank back in and it works again lol. soooo thats about it with that i think ,, but this is where my story starts. the guy put my stuff back together without putting the chain back on the hub. so i needed a wrench to take my tire off. ... to jad bz an johnnys i go. we put the chain back on and just before i left i was pumping my tires. and bzs tire pump doesnt like me and i ripped the valve otu of the goddamned tube.
i had a tube from jads flat last week in my place. so i went and got it along with some beers. and this is what went down..
Not sure this was the greatest idea in the world.
Drinks
Eats
Jad your skins hanging off your bones.. Do you need more sugar?
i swear its usually not that hard to change a tire. im not kididng.
finally pumped her up
HAND OFFFF
This is where it got tricky...... This frame is real old and the tires on it where made like after the frame was . so they dont fit properly . it took three people to pry the fork wide enough and put the tire back in. MEH Do you have any stains?
So . after all this is said and done... i woke up this morning.... with a flat tire. SICK
and the new yankee stadium
