Maybe Things Will Be Better In Chicago
October 11, 2015
“I’m not alone I’m not afraid This bird has flown from his cage There’s so much magic we have known On this sapphire we call home With my coat and my hat I say goodbye to all that Maybe things will be better in Chicago” (Chicago by Tom Waits) “You fuckin’ kiddin wit me now.

Zoo
October 6, 2015
It felt like we walked a mile to see the polar bears. For some reason, walking in the hot San Diego sun with my family at the zoo was particularly exhausting. The San Diego zoo was supposedly one of the best, if not the best zoo in the country. My mother and I agreed, it

Dear Old Friend
September 28, 2015
I remember where we left off. It was the end of the semester. The year was 2008. We said goodbye, and acted as though we’d stay in touch, though we both knew we wouldn’t, even if we wanted to. After a year of college, I made exactly zero friends. You were probably the closest I

Cut Locks
September 21, 2015
It happened on a Sunday. During the (awful) Giant game versus the Cowboys. I was at a friends watching the game, who lives not far from me in Astoria. I rode my bike, and locked her to a pole, as I did many times, all over Queens and sometimes Brooklyn and Manhattan, for the year

Poker Face
September 13, 2015
I’m a shitty poker player. Every time I’ve played poker, I do really well at the start, but after about an hour, I get bored. The stakes aren’t high enough. My $20 contribution to win $100 doesn’t phase me. So, I start making outrageous bets and moves. I’ll bet half my chips on a mediocre

The Fattest Fruit Fly
September 7, 2015
The fattest fruit fly lives in an apartment in Astoria, Queens. My apartment in Astoria, Queens. The fattest fruit fly lived for weeks, and while I had once thought they only lived for 24 hours, the Internet told me they could live longer than 24 days! I thought it was impossible. Not only for a

Pease Lane
August 30, 2015
Probably one of the worst named streets around, Pease Lane was my home for nearly 25 years. It’s where I learned how to walk, swim, ride a bike. It’s where I did my homework everyday after school. It’s where my brother and sister and I made up games, and where we fought. It’s where my

What They Don’t Teach You In School
August 25, 2015
What they don’t teach you in school is that you will use next to nothing you learned at a desk post graduation. They don’t teach you how to get a job, what to say on interviews, or how to lie on your resume. What they don’t teach you in school is how to deal with

M.T. Pockets
August 16, 2015
Not unlike many summer days from that time in my life, we were grilling burgers at Atlantique beach, Fire Island. Running around in the sun all day, playing games and swimming, gave us kids quite an appetite, and we waited impatiently for our grilled meat, chomping down on some corn on the cob, and shoving

Tuesday Into Wednesday
August 9, 2015
Technically, it was Wednesday morning. 1 am. I waited for my train at Times Square to Queens. Sure I had to be up again in six hours, but I had a buzz, and Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, so I felt alright. It was the best I’d felt all day. I had been feeling pretty
