On the plus side..



I've gotten to go to all 5 nights of Bruce Springsteen at Giants stadium. They are the 5 last concerts ever to be held at the old Giants Stadium. This video is of from the second show. it's a new song he wrote just for the concerts and, in typical Bruce style, it's pretty incredible...

WE KNOW THAT TOMORROW THIS WON'T BE HERE
SO HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR ANGER
AND DON'T FALL TO YOUR FEAR


I've been to the Intrepid museum with my father who is a WW2 vet, I've had some quality time with my sister and I've had some super late nights out in the city with Miss Alex, drinking beer waiting for the 6 AM bus while watching the tired faces of people going to work came out clutching coffee mugs and frowns like they were gold. Watching the sun come up from a dirty bus window as the New York City skyline disappears from view.. Freedom, no matter how fleeting...





WE KNOW THAT TOMORROW THIS WON'T BE HERE
SO HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR ANGER
AND DON'T FALL TO YOUR FEAR


AND BRING ON THAT WRECKING BALL!

Why I haven't posted in a while



Yes, I joined the growing ranks of the unemployed three weeks ago. Add to that i'm dealing with personal issues that hurt a million times worse than losing a job i've had for 10 years. Well, if it doesn't kill me it makes me stronger, right? I'm in a pretty low spot, but taking it one day at a time.

Jim Carroll - Punk Rock poet immortalized in The Basketball Diaries


Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's"
But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

back yard, and rats made fuck to birds in it and created a whole new type of aids."
