Dead Man
I was walking down the stairs to the F train and all the sudden I just saw the average white 40 ish business man keel backwards. Once I was done decending the stairs everyone just looked confused. So after a few seconds one woman dialed 911 from a pay phone. Then everyone stood around. Then a second person got a cop. The cop was useless of course. So then another random person started mouth to mouth. The guy was clearly dead at this point there was no pulse and he looked dead. I don't know how else to explain it. Its like you can see once a soul has left a body. By then I was so freaked out I had to leave and take a walk to another train line. Im so amazed no one was concerened. I asked people at work if they saw this guy too and most people were like "its a dead guy in NYC, you can see 10 in one day." Great. I'm still really disturbed by the whole thing. I think I'd be much more ok with it if I had a significant other here. The weird thing was the trains were still running and some people just kind of walked around like they were annoyed he keeled over near the stairs making their commute home slower.

Maidencateyes. I assume you are talking about Peter Singer. Correct? Well I have a score to settle with this stealing lying asshole. He seems to tell everyone the same lie. I would be more than happy to join forces with you in order to help you get back your money. I used to date an attorney that has done several pro-bono cases for me. One involving my sister and an infamous speeding ticket and another involving a roommate here who didn't return my security deposit. In both cases the outcome was successful. In addition I am now new york city style. This means I don't fuck around. If he wants to play dirty well then he has met his match. If you need refrences as to my ability to "reslove" differences just ask Paul and or lilho about my abilities. In all honestly you may never get your money back, but you can make his credit suck so bad he wont be able to buy a kit kat bar at 7-11. email me if you are interested.

Yesterday
I saw a man die on the subway platform. Everyone was amazingly calm, no one seemed to even be freaked out. Me on the other had was really disturbed by this. I don't think I'll ever forget how he looked.

I take offense
to calling moving to NYC being a trendy fuck. That just goes along with the small town attitude I have frequently encountered in buf-a-ho.

FYI Spencer Tunik
Tunick's Buffalo nudes
BUFFALO, New York (AP) -- They came. They saw. They bared all.

And in the end, the 1,826 people who shed their clothes for Spencer Tunick on Sunday were a work of art.

With Tunick issuing commands through a megaphone, nude bodies of every age, shape, size, skin tone and fitness level formed sculptures in the concourse of a dilapidated former train station, standing up, lying down, leaning sideways on their knees.

Tunick has been doing such nude assemblages -- he calls them temporary site-related installations -- around the world since 1992. The artist chose Buffalo's decaying Central Terminal, with its broken windows and walls of graffiti, as a juxtaposition to an earlier work at New York's pristine Grand Central Terminal, with a plan to display photographs of the two side by side.

"I think what the bodies did was bring some hope to the future," said Tunick.

For the volunteers, being part of Tunick's art meant leaving their inhibitions in a pile of clothing outside and enduring a series of sometimes uncomfortable positions on a cold and dusty tile floor, cameras documenting every move.

"Get on your knees, bend forward and curl up in a ball," Tunick instructed. "Be quiet please. Head down. Head further down!"

"Very good. It's very good. Don't move," he said.

"When he had us all leaning on our knees, that was getting a bit painful," volunteer Joe Giovenso said afterward. "I don't think I could have held that much longer."
