Now This Is Good Advertising

I took this picture on the Upper West Side a few weeks ago.

To quote Joe Rogan:

Wow, I never imagined having a reason to say that. Anyway…
You know the anti-marijuana TV ad they play now where the dog is telling the girl that he doesn’t like it when she smokes weed? Here’s what Joe Rogan has to say about that commercial. I found it to be pretty hilarious.
I ripped the [...]

Girlfriend: Your Contract is Under Review

-To: My Girlfriend-Re: Your repeated attempts to cuddle while watching Ultimate Fighting Championship
Dear Girlfriend:
Have you ever been to a movie theatre to watch a movie that you were totally excited about, and then the big moment of the movie came and it really hit home with you and you started to cry? Then some jerk [...]

Shhh! Don’t Talk To Me.

I went to Scruffy Duffy’s with my awesome ex-corrections-officer roommate to watch football and drink beer and eat wings and nachos and mozzerella sticks and jalepenos and play pool yesterday. All day. Life really doesn’t get much better than that. I saw a woman that was so drunk that I literally thought she was [...]

Hodge Podge

I hung out with some wicked cool bloggers last weekend. Very fun. Great people.
Speaking of friends:
My best friend is at least 1.5 times the writer that I am. He will be writing a guest post today. Check back, it’s going to be good.
Hold your breath.

Rain, Rain, Go Away. Don’t Come Back.

Three things I would rather deal with than rain on a Friday in NYC:

Anyway, I’m headed down to “On The C” to have a few beers and shoot a couple games of pool if anyone wants to join me. It’s at Ave. C and 8th Street… basically.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Four Brothers

Ok, here’s another “we’re wasted and leaving the bar at 4am story.”
(the crowd cheers)
Three friends and I closed down the Raccoon Lodge on the upper west side last summer, and as usual we were twelve sheets to the wind.
It was myself, a friend named Trevor (tattoo artist), a guy named Jason (pasty/dessert chef at Serendipity) [...]

Another New York Moment

A few friends of mine and I shut down our local bar around 4AM on a Friday night last October. As tradition dictated, we walked a few blocks over to Central Park to find our favorite spot to cause trouble. The rocks by the lake always paid dividends in this respect. It’s somewhere in the [...]

The Ties That Bind

For some reason I woke up wicked early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep.
It’s Saturday and I woke up bright eyed at 7:30am.
Unacceptable.
I went into the kitchen to retrieve my lighter that I had left on the stove the night before so I could smoke my good morning cigarette.
I heard the [...]

One Man’s Crack is Another Man’s Beer

If the guy on last night’s “Intervention” on A&E would have substituted “crack” with “beer” in his following quote, he would be my best friend.
“I am always thinking about crack. I dream about crack. I want some right now.”-the guy, “Intervention”, A&E Network
Brilliant.
I feel you, brother. Cheers. (*clink*) Whoa, don’t burn yourself.

New York City Blackout

Yes, I realize this happened a long time ago.
When the big NYC Blackout occurred, I remember that the first thing I thought was, “If I don’t come out of this with a great story, I’m pathetic.”
Well, not only did I get a story, I got some pictures too.
I was working for a pair of [...]

Beer Is Some Awesome Shit.

I love being fall-down-drunk in the middle of the day.
Seriously.
There is nothing better than being mere seconds away from an alcohol induced coma early on a Sunday afternoon.
***Disclaimer: Readers under the age of 18 residing in the United States of America are encouraged not to drink until at least noon on weekends.

New York Moment

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The 4 Train.
I had just gotten off work and was walking up Broadway to catch the subway home when I realized I didn’t have any cigarettes. I stopped at a newsstand to see if they had any rolling papers. I roll my own cigarettes now because, here [...]
