Naked Cowboy and NYC

Understatement of the Century: Times Square is crowded.

Gay Japanese Men, Naked Cowboys and the best signage anywhere. Only in NYC.

Lauren’s Grad. Party

Photos from Lauren Ciccarelli’s graduation party. Wow, what a large family.
Pete applied the fake tattoo with beer.

Summer Indoors

There is a certain sadness that comes with growing up, moving on, passing thresholds, etc. but I find it infinitely compounded by the fact that I am bound to the indoors during summer. One could debate which is worse, being stuck inside during summer doing homework and attending classes, as was the case during the [...]

Back to the Pool

Just some photos from the pool on a not-so-crowded day.

Coffee Shop Randomness

Went to the Dancing Goat Cafe yesterday with Mischa. Turns out it was a really cool venue and I can certainly see myself heading back there shortly. It would have been an excellent place to chill during High School, but alas, the bi-town center renaissance came slightly too late.

A Haiku for the Dancers

Went to go see Jeanne Ruddy and company dance last night at Drexel. It was a good show, especially Ann Reinking’s piece. Very sexy, very dark, very cool. I like cool.
Jason showed me his scrapbook from the last two years at Drexel and I was [...]

Adieu, Drexel

I have to say, the only odd thing about our commencement ceremony was that when we walked into the gym, I seriously didn’t recognize anything, the entire structure was rearranged including the bleachers, which I had always [...]

Back to High School

So before I even got my degree, I was back at Columbia. It was bizarre going back this time, even more than in past years, because for the first time it actually felt like I was back in High School. Aside from the packed hallways, the long white t-shirts, the randomness bells going off and [...]

Ortlieb’s and some stupid bar

Tuesday night we went to Ortlieb’s for perhaps the last time for a long time. I was a good time, lots of great music flowing, people just relaxing, crazy old jazz cats babbling incoherently. Good stuff.
We wound up at New Deck where everyone was 19 and drunk. What the hell. At least there were peanuts.

4.0, finally

For the 12th and final term at Drexel, I made straight A’s. It comes as more of a relief than an accomplishment though and I feel as if this was something that was merely stolen from me numerous times before, rather than awarded to me now.
And, yes, I have noted the irony that this is [...]
