Only words that came with this photo were "bird food." Randall.... By the way, if you are lookin for your first ink, or maybe your 4th, go to Divine Machine to get it done. Ask for Randall or pick from the other talented guys and cyborgs girls that work there. You'll get a custom piece, no flash, all handrawn art. And if you want a tattoo gone, well they can laser you as well. Check em out at the corner of Allen and Elmwood next to Jims Steakout. #snap

This is what I looked like on the brink of adulthood. Nineteen, no clue what was really going on, but I was doing it the best I could. The dork belt was my absolute favorite thing ever, and I was deep into the "skater look." I still lived in Bradford at the time, and was feeling out the Southern Tier for a place to make my mark. I think these were taken in Fredonia/Jamestown, which i quickly realized wasn't much of an upgrade from Bradford. Wanna know what really made me move to Buffalo? The food. Seriously. #snap

We came across my dear friend Huw at the Hippie House, pert near drunk, and what I thought had happened was he had fallen on the stoop. Nope, he was merely inspecting the toils and "crowdsourcing" of the common ant. Never a dull moment at the Hippie House (AKA the Wondermoth, the finest little big co-op on North and Elmwood) #snap

Angel's cat, Alma, died yesterday, we buried her under the lilies in the front yard. He asked me to post her picture... sorry for the quality, but thats what he gave me. Losing a pet is rough, but for Angel its a bit harder. Alma has been a sort of dreamcatcher for Angel, a spiritual guide for him, if you will. They've been a team for a over dozen years, now Angel has to find the dreams on his own. Not all is lost, Skylar is filling in the interim... he's good at sleeping.

This cub had a cute little pushed in face... but when he stood up, the lack of any distinguishable bulge in his shorts was very dissapointing. #snap

(Apparently the first upload didn't work)

I always thought chipmunk to be the most skittish of the forest dwellers...
but if you throw enough sunflower seed... they'll come around. #snap

Urban vinyl, designer toys, upscale toys, collector figurines... no matter what you call them, these are NOT the toys you buy at Walmart. The BBC has an ongoing series called "Japaorama" where they focus on parts of the Japanese culture... a segment on urban vinyl was bound to happen. If you are still wondering why I collect these things, the clip below sums it up nicely. Via ToyBot Studios

Randall stopped by the club. And gave me a number of phrases to put on the
screen. Here they are (verbatim):

"I am in love with Seahorses... Because they are adorable and cute"

"ASS CUNT BEARD BALLS"

"Lighthouses Rule. If you don't like Lighthouses Fuck You"

"Sand drinking outta cups...I.stupid bitch>"

I love Randall. #snap

I'm not alone, and thank god for that.... this guy, on his Coleman grill for one... maybe he likes being alone. #snap

I absolutely love Donnie Darko. Richard Kelly is an awesome director, and if we can forgive him for Southland Tales, then I'm sure that The Box is going to be awesome. Based on a short story from Richard Matheson, The Box materialized once as a Twilight Zone episode (called Button Button), but in Kelly's hand will be turned into a dark story of choice. Comes out October 10th, 2009...

Warner Bros - Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
