" three things turned four "

---

the merry ole land of manhattan once again proves that within its borders lie a completely normal and astounding moment:

- while walking out from the L train up to the street at Union Square, a man was walking towards me. he had on a dirty beige and 50's green weave tweed suit; the lapels worn through with repeated adjustment over the years of use.

- as we became closer together, in my head i thought to myself that i would collide with his left arm if i didn't move soon. i shifted to my right, but there was a woman that i neglected to see due to poor and of-the-moment bilndspot vision.

- the meeting of his arm and my body was immanent.

- but then the most curious thing happened. i braced for the soft impact and all i felt was a shiver and the gentle swipe of suit material across my side-front.

- the man had no left arm. his ghostly appendage passed through me with the natural motion of beforehand knowledge, and i was instantly shocked at the lack of his corporeal being.

" oh takeru kobayashi, you're my favorite "

---

why does it always come down to USA vs. the other? like an international shlongfest, and we know that we're losing, but we still try anyway?

can't we all just let the US lose once in a while? it's okay. really. there's beer and chips in the tent. all for you.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

i think so.

takeru kobayashi is my hero for today.

" the view from orbit "

i visited dylan's work the other day and took a few mobile phone pics, then married them in CS2.

sometimes the attained knowledge of nerdiness does pay off, especially when you run into two celebs in the same day.

yay for another version of the city.

" fun with hair "

---

so at 2am this morning, i decided that it was finally time to cut my hair again. it's hot here in the nyc, the hair was tickling the back of my upper back, and it was just getting silly.

buuuut, one thing that i have to say; don't cut your hair on your own in the very early morning, when you're about to fall asleep. it just leads to ill-planned nuisances.

although this is just the first stage in what might become an evolving three-part haircut, i'm still riding the fine emotional line between sheer bliss and mild social awkwardness.

" shoot out "

" of gauls and romans "

---

peering just outside my apartment window, i can see that the italian contingent in this part of w'burg has just scored a goal. the resonance of audible cries and minivan horns echo throughout the neighborhood and into the bedroom. they've blocked off the intersection and taken over the street for the revelry.

the volume of a television set is blaring though a PA system and i too feel the "hoorah" in my heart for the world cup. goal number one is confirmed for the italian team.

yet in spite of all my peripheral excitement, i instead move through this now constant soundscape, and sit down in my kitchen-space and enjoy the small pleasures of a toffuti cutie; to pass the time between now and then in sweet deliciousness.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

in the near distance, intense blissful chants and the sounds of bloodthirst inform me that goal number two has yet to be achieved. the taste of victory-at-hand for me comes through in a chocolate form, and lingers long after the crown has died down.

" 3am on the F to the G to the L "

---

the world got quieter as the machines slowed to a stop.

lullabys and the faint hush of summer's breeze wisped away the long hours.

eventually we gathered in the compartments and hoped.

to dream a dream of returning home; to live, to breathe, to exist.

"free wi-fi for all"

---

after being in new york for about a week, i find that it's necessary to make a list:

1. use a "the map" because it's fine if you don't know where you are.

2. eat good food, because everything tastes good if you're hungry enough.

3. overheard conversations on the subway are some of the best in the universe.

4. nothing is surprising in new york. well almost.

5. hipsters in new york are all very stylized, yet not necessarily stylish.

6. teenagers are hardcore. and so are their siblings.

7. ikea in jersey is scary huge and their hot dog deal can't be beat.

8. i'm due for some big break soon. i'm vying for w/in the next month.

other than that, it's been great. i got caught in a bangkokian-like rain storm, saw a great free brazilian girls concert at the hudson river, found delicious home-style comfort food spots, and went on a voyage of beer.

this is going to be something.
