Something About Today

Underground.

I can't explain.

Following most everywhere I tread.

But it feels good.

My Latest Self-Portrait

Taken 40 minutes after the 'empty' one...

The "Pin Ups" addition was sheer last minute inspiration as I struggle to re-alphabetize my albums after this hellish move into the new place.

My Latest Self-Portrait

Wall Of Voodoo's "Dark Continent." Warner Brother's 1980 compilation, "Troublemakers." Tom Waits' "Frank's Wild Years." The Jackson Five's "Greatest Hits." And Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."

And "ABBA" on the wall...sort of...

The lyrics are poignant. Listen.

I Take A Walk Outside...

The new neighborhood is tattooed everything. It's not the same by myself, but it's fine. It's safe. It's mine. It's ours.

When I went to see the Doctor...I was hiding all the way.

Black

I moved from Park Slope, Brooklyn to Sunset Park, Brooklyn on August 2nd. It's taken me two weeks and a day to get back on-line. It's also taken me that amount of time to start painting (mostly) everything grey and to start start unpacking the crap I've amassed.

The neighborhood is not easy nor is it easily navigable. But I've had help, and I'm starting to make sense of it. Rico's Tacos = the bast tacos I've ever had (sorry Rachel's). Seared pork and chicken tacos and a long, tall 'Mexican' Coke costs $7.00.

Fuck yeah.

I hate my phone more than ever and the IRS and most of the people in the world, but I saw The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge yesterday in a rain storm with my girl and it renewed my faith in humanity.

OK, it absolutely did not. It made me want to retreat more. Except from my girl.

The past two days, she saved my life. Seriously. This post is for her.
