Chi Cleansing

So, as of lately the majority of Clark St. has decided they hate school. During these winter months, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Moustache March is coming up, which will be awesome, but it will leave the majority of people around campus disgusted/horrified by me. It'll be a tough month. One that will test my character.

After that though is Campin' April, baby. All camping all the time. If anyone wants to go camping during Campin' April, contact the members of Clark St. and we'll work it out. The key component of Campin' April is becoming one with nature, thus cleansing the chi. Standing on top of a mountain and taking in God's good green earth is going to fix all and any of our problems.

Our last project was to make book covers...Well, let's just say the outcome is about as exciting as the assignment...




See ya.

This is really funny.

So my little sister Alex is really into this LCD Soundsystem band. I think they're supposed to be techno, rock, "house" music or something. Anyways, apparently they're a big deal...

The one thing I've noticed however, is how surprisingly similar the lead singer sounds like Kermit the Frog. Don't believe me? See for yourself :



The resemblance is uncanny.




In more pleasant news, one of my favorite bands ever is getting back together to record a new album and tour the world. We're talking about none other than Blink 182 people. I guess Tom Delonge realized that Angels and Airwaves were the laughingstock of the music industry. Anyways, I'm stoked...Look it up on youtube or something.

The Grind

School is pretty alright. For my photo class we had to bring in our own model and mess around. Tim Mcdermott ladies and gents' :



Well in other news, for my graphic design class we had to make a poster for the MoMA..Not a real one they use or anything, just a made up assignment:



Stay tuned.

Story time

Wednesday morning, as I was going to my 8 AM class, I saw a digital thermometer from a bank that read 0 degrees. While I was shivering my little ass off, I thought of the glory days of warmer weather.

Let me take you back to Summer of 2008. Kevin and myself went on an adventure to NYC. We drank, we had multiple run-ins with the law, and saw a kick ass band play at a shwanky club. The center point of this tale though, is what we found laying on the sidewalk at 2:30 in the morning.

A bike.


We rode it around the city together, I rode it through Penn Station full tilt (which got us in trouble with the law again) and I brought it back to Long Island until school started.

I love it. When the weather was good, I rode it everywhere. At the very end of August I went out with my bike and took pictures with some left over color film from a while back :


This one's for Dirk Mcgirk. Free Masons are real dude


.

Adorable, really.


See ya next time.

Welcome to the Bronx...

Sometimes you find beauty in strange places. This is what was outside Mary's window one wet head kind of morning :

So lately I've been trying to imitate popular advertising trends and poster art and such ... You know, just being really artsy and edgy. Here's one I've been working on :



On another note :
I picked up the Litte Joy album. This is the solo project of The strokes' Fab Moretti...WOW.. This is by far the best thing to happen to me in '09. Try and imagine The Strokes being from Hawaii and surfing instead of dating super models and that's what you get. Please go out and grab a hard copy of this CD. Check this one out:

On the bandwagon...

Lately there has been a real surge in my friends posting blogs. Pictures from New Years and beyond by George and Dan, my lovely lady Mia, and even Kevin has joined the 21st century... It's got me thinking and well...I'm going to kickstart this dusty ol' blog I got...



First things first...while I wasn't blogging, I was creating my first webpage. It's not anything too great, but hey, you gotta start somewhere....I have this idea of making short cartoon videos and putting them on there on a regular basis....Does anyone want to help me write up some plots?

In the meantime, lt me show you all my get rich quick scheme. George doesn't believe in it, but I'm going to be famous for this one. This baby's copywrited, so don't get any ideas. Let me know what size T-shirt you want when I print these badboys :
