I dunno why I like this shot but I do. I think it portrays “lonely” well.

In case anyone is ever looking for dope users- apparently they are in the corner.

Larry had come by to pick up Cyrus and I on the way into work. As we pulled up to the first light on the corner of Glebe and Pershing. There was an elderly lady wearing purple house pants, slippers, and a loose sweatshirt with her hair in a net.
“We used to go out” I announced to the car- and just as the chuckling died down this poor woman took a step up and totally missed the curb falling flat on her face.
Larry: That’s the funniest thing I have seen in real life ever
Cyrus: Oh my God
Me: …
I wasn’t there because I had rushed out of the car to offer first aid, comfort and support to this lovely woman who happen to fall.
No that’s all a lie, we were all laughing so hard we could hardly speak.
She got up and was alright and we all have a story to tell.

IF-
April 22, 2008, 9:03 am
I really enjoy this poem, so I thought I would share today.
[IF]
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!–Rudyard Kipling

I would be known for my enormous heart, that pumps hot love of equal rights for Women of every color, race or religion.
Pearl of Wisdom: When Love, Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll combine we often come back around to the old adage that moderation is the key to a long and happy life; however, what they don’t tell you is that moderation will always seem dull when excessive gets to the party and starts rocking the house.

and from the smoke came fire-
April 16, 2008, 7:23 am
I know it’s not PC, but I let people smoke in my house. I have a couple cool ashtrays 1. I won in a knife fight in Calcutta and the other alright I’m bullshitting. When I lived on 15th and Mass NW it was common practice for people to put out usable items in there floor common area instead of throwing things out.
As promised Cyrus is in the house, we both had to work late so we had a quick dinner at Rock Bottom and then got back to work.

Like most, my friends and I have an uncanny “pick up where we left off” dichotomy. So much so a friend I had not seen in several years saw me at a Starbucks in California and said:
“I thought you died?
“Nope.”
“Well come on the wife will want to hear the good news”
So when I get a call from an unknown number at 3am with a voice on the other end telling me the trading day is starting in Hong Kong and asking how come I am not on my grind I immediately know that Cyrus is calling-
Brief Cyrus History Highlight Reel
1. Told several members of the Mexican mafia to shut up while I was on the phone- fight ensued.
2. Rang up $1200.00 worth of “whatever” in the Champagne Room in a Miami Gentleman’s Club…after he had traded his watch for a beer- fight with security and angry dancer ensued.
3. My personal favorite, 56 West is the epitome of the dirty jersey strip clubs. The girls wear dirty tennis shoes along with whatever was on top of the hamper.
Shortly after arriving the next few hours became a blur, but I woke up in Vineland County Hospital on a gurney (no handcuffs…yes!), after hiring an old guy to take me to the hotel I walked in on what appeared to be Cyrus sleeping with a midget/dwarf stripper of some sort. Nice gal but gosh her Reebok’s and spandex shorts could have used a wash. – Laughing Ensued.
Cyrus is flying into National Today and I am looking forward to seeing him- hopefully next week I will be able to report some maturity and growth on our part as to how we spend our free time- Tune in Next Week.

There was Art, Music, Golf, Dinner, Cake and Shaving.

Yesterday was a great day- I started at Kramers with $1.50 Bloody Mary’s, then hit the Hirshhorn where I saw some amazing exhibits mixed with some less than desirable exhibitors made for a great afternoon.
Larry invited me over to spend an evening with Janelle his girlfriend and her son C.J. Larry’s sauce was good as ever, and his garlic bread was packed with butter and three types of garlic. After desert we sat on the porch and shaved my head. Abrupt.

Sunday!
April 13, 2008, 8:40 am
To me Sunday is the Ace of days- it can be wild, it can be a whole day of guilt free nothingness or a day to catch up on work.
Today I decided I would make my way over to Kramers Bookstore and Afterwords Cafe for $1.50 Bloody Marys (I have $3.00) and Free Coffee. Then walk and shoot some pictures on my way over to the Hirshhorn, which has some very exciting exhibits. I have heard from numerous people it will impact how I see and practice art.
I couldn’t find an artsy picture to post today- so I am just going to be a Proud Dad and put up a picture of my little girl from last weekend at the Cherry Blossom Festival. She’s 11, and no matter how many cigarettes and coffee I make her consume she keeps getting older.
