Oh yeah, Tony Glitz

Tony Glitz has me to thank for who he is.

I have the best job ever

Today I went on a two hour photoshoot for Jack's Grill photographing hamburgers. I got three burgers for free. They were extra big burgers too for the shoot. I've never been on a shoot before where I got to eat the models. I've never been on a professional photoshoot until today either. I didn't tell my client that, but I borrowed a friend's Canon Rebel digital camera and the pictures came out awesome.

Look at 'em.

Now I'm making notes about a cartoon at the studio with my friends and my cat. I can smoke in the back room. I have the best job ever.

Now if only I work like this everyday...

Awesome Birthday

I had an awesome birthday weekend. It warmed up a lot. On my birthday Joe bought an HDTV and an XBOX 360 for the studio, it's awesome.

Had a killer party catered by Taste of Thai and thanks to Chris Kush and Top Shelf Liquor we had plenty to drink. It was a great crowd, the house stayed clean, and I think everyone had a good time. Jesse got me a pimp-tastic chopstick set, which I'm useing it now to shovel leftover Pad Thai into my face. We had wine, whiskey, rum, tequila, and gin, and a ton of great thai food. Ill post some pictures.

All and all, totally sweet. Saw Watchmen at midnight on the 6th, Xannie and Asia saved us awesome sweats. I did a logo that paid in cash, so I was able to like...by stuff for the past few days. Totally sweet having money.

hell yeah insurance!

Best Saturday night ever, not really, three sober hours at the bowling alley will do that, but I got my motherfuckin new york state benefit card in the mail. Thank you New York State, CHRISTOPHE DAVIDSO is deeply honored. Still super cool, going to get some inhalers so I can get back to running! Which is also good, because I've been feeling like I've had a lot of pent up energy not getting out.

Freestyle Saturday - Beat Boxing

I got to make a post about what went down last night. I met up with Josh and Ryan at a The Gunpoets show at Castaways. There were three acts, a nervous white rapper with a good voice, a solid black rapper who sampled and shouted out everything from Stevie Wonder to Mortal Kombat, and The Gunpoets. I didn't see the headliners because I was out side, where the real talent was.

I met a fancy-dressed guy who called himself Beat Dweller. I was a little drunk and I started beat boxing and he started freestyling. He was good. He was a weird dude, kinda looked like the guy from Jamiroquai , but he rapped tight and had a great voice. Before I knew it, there were five other rappers freestyling while I kept the beat, guys named stuff like Duce Wayne. I took the name Beat Police, after an animated skit I thought up in the shower before the show. It was awesome. I we threw down for the entire headliner's set, and from what I heard we didn't miss much. Really buff tattooed white guy rapping, I don't know about that. Anyway, it was awesome. It's nice to know that people respect my beatboxing, enough to holler at their friends to come spit. Josh even got down with my on the beat towards the end, it was good too because my throat was starting to get tired. Beat Dweller's boy filmed some of the freestyles, I'm going to try and get the footage from him.

Anyway, it was awesome. Totally what I wanted from the show, and it's nice to hear some of the local flavor. It was also reasuring to know I could hold my own in a cypher, not only my own but the backs of anyone willing to rhyme. We even got some cool hippie girl in the mix. Totally awesome.

running

On Black Friday this year I got a pair of Asic running shoes, and they are the shit. There's some bubbly crap in the heels that makes running so much more comfortable. I talked to my sister a bit about running form.

Today I ran about 10 blocks. 3 blocks straight, last time I tried to run I could only do 2. Two weeks ago, I could barely do 1. Progress!

I was stressing out about some things and drinking Maté. I noticed it stopped raining and I just got dressed and went for a run. As soon as I got going everything just blew away. All I could think about was my body. Ah catharsis.

Now my body is sore as shit. I guess i didn't stretch enough or just not used to it, because i can barly walk around. It's pretty rad I guess, cause it means I'm gonna be huge. hoo ray.

kind of lost my focus while writing. I'm going to go work on the Moving Box Facebook Group

awesome

I recently reconnected with an old friend on the internet, and it's so awesome. There's a remote, emotional connection there that is really giving my strength in a time I desperately need it. God bless The Facebook.
