    Warning: this post contains nothing interesting (not that any of them do, hahahah). But, some good things have happened this week, already, and I just thought that I would feel like an ingrate if I didn’t share them. Here we go with the lists, again. First– I recently sweated my iPod Shuffle to death. So…

  • La Musica Coolica #75 (MD-TK)

    Two of my favorite rappers on this track. The whole Blackstar collab is pretty hot. Anyway, if you are a fan of Talib Kweli, or Mos Def, then for sure you love this track, also. “Best alliance in hip-hop”– I tend to agree. One of the best, anyway. This is another one of those songs…

    Last weekend was one of those times when I could have cloned myself and built a time machine, and still not have been able to get in everything that I wanted to.  Saturday night, I checked out the new Hole Gallery in SoHo. It will eventually be moving to the old Deitch space (above). Check…

    This is my favorite shot of the weekend. I hope that I can go again next year.

    This week’s grade= A. Total distance for the week was 41.6. I broke 800 miles on my Nike profile, this week, and I am now only 189 miles away from completing my goal of running 500 miles before next January. Highlights for the week include the Father’s day 5 mile race, and the Wall Street…

    Even though the weekend hasn’t officially started yet, it feels like it for me. Today is my day off from running, and my calendar is empty for today! As busy as this week was, it was also super productive. Yesterday afternoon, I was able to shoot a sneak peak of the Fall and Winter stuff…

    I know it was only 3 miles, but it was really hot and I had to fight traffic HARD at the beginning, since it was a free for all (no pace chutes). 6’24” pace is 5 seconds per mile, better than my previously recorded official NYRR time. Progress feels good. 3 girls still finished ahead…

    I had a blast this morning shooting the latest stuff from the guys at Only. I was able to recruit Samuel, again. He was a good sport about getting up at 5:30 for the shoot. In this shot he is rocking the new Only New York “Fish Tank.” It is needless to say that I…

    Well, most the day went as planned. We still have fish, since the dude who is supposedly picking them up, has now scheduled and flaked on 3 separate occasions. Complaining aside, today was ultra productive. Tomorrow is going to be another busy one, but I’m looking forward to it. Particularly, I’m looking forward to the…

    And it is just going to get worse. I shot a G-Shock event tonight at the Bowery Hotel. It was the first time I had ever been there. I snapped the image above when I was adjusting the flash output, and exposure settings. Normally, I go back through and delete all of the test shots.…
