END ROAD WORK



with my fellow radio personality leon of the trees now in venice (here i do not mean CA), i am left all alone in our north american efforts to curb road work. here youll see my efforts on the streets of brooklyn, ny. ill leave leon to cover all points european. all we are saying is 'leave the roads in severe disrepair!'

additionally, youll note, im introducing a new campaign: NO STANDING ANYTIME. remain seated at all costs!

and please dont forget our long standing efforts to FREE LEAF MULCH, which has been unjustly held in captivity for far too long.

thanks to loyal reader melina g-a., for although im not sure she was trying to hail a cab at the time, nonetheless delivered to me the best high five of the season. the scenario had g-a. on the street ... our eyes making the eyes of recognition ... g-a. hustling beyond the curb to meet me ... then making smaktastic contact with my outstretched right hand with hers. best yet, not a word was uttered before or during. only my whisper-yell of 'yesssssssssssss' afterwards. pure unadulterated smaktown. thanks melina, for making a guys sunday.

aft-thought on the previous blog-post

maybe i thought it said "the algorithm killed jesus," in which case itd be a billboard placed by the romans and jews (perhaps even pontius pilate himself) in an attempt to exonerate themselves of the execution of christ lord our king, jesus of nazareth.

so many people make billboards these days its really hard to know :(

nazi propaganda or search engine ad?

the first time i saw this ask.com billboard i mistakenly thought it read "the algorithm killed jews." im not sure why as its quite a jump from jeeves to jews but ¡wow! is what i thought in my head out loud. until i got closer. but still when i pass it, i wind up thinking about my original misreading and how this billboard was placed here by the nazis in an effort to escape responsibility years after the holocaust. and wouldnt that just be their style!?! and what a poor excuse for genocide it really is!?! and do the nazis seriously think im that dumb!?!

the news of the world is overwhelmifying

BUT dot dot dot i still found time to go 1/2 (one for two) in high fiving strangers hailing cabs on saturday night. the first time i failed but garnered a laugh from the hailer & her friend. the second time i succeeded but the high five really left little to be desired; it was all finger.

note: this raises my season and career HFA to .400

dear massimo;

¡merry-go-rounding the sun to you! thanks for the many inspirations.

im making love to you,
craig one

inglorious restart attempt damns späggt

this is the stuff of life, i tell you. one day youre high-fiving strangers left and right in a celebration of humanity and the next youre mourning the loss of a true digital friend.

my loving computer of five years is no longer with us. after so much time together he must have tired of me and my nagging requests. when i asked for one more restart he simply said, "no." your last words will linger if not haunt me späggt. i dont think ill forget you, even as i usher in the age of RE:späggt. rest in pieces.

anyone want to get drunk?

17 April 2007

re: misconception


this evening i was 1/1 (one for one) in high five attempts with humans hailing cabs. the hailer and i locked eyes as i raised my hand which, i reflect now, was so critical to "success." i watched as he changed his hailing hand into a high five hand, almost losing whatever coolness i even had. but i remained calm like a morning lake (perfect for fishing)!!!!! the slap between us was dry, loud, on time, and accompanied by a "¡yo man!" from my participatory friend. thank you stranger! dont even tell me youre just gearing up for national high five day.

note: this raises my season and career HFA to .333

where 5 = excellent, 1 = poor?



and 3 = good? are you kidding me? whoever created such a scale needs to seriously re-evaluate.

rain

i like to think of rain as little pieces of heaven floating right on down. which means heaven is one giant pool with occasional leaks. and that makes sense. i just hope its not chlorinated or heavily pooped in by rats.

11 April 2007

misconception

people hailing cabs are not asking for high-fives. i tried twice tonight with a failure rate of 100%.

let me just be the ninth to say (dear adam)

i like having you on my planet. happy your own personal new year! alls be well around the sun again. ¡out loud!

jam to it (flash gordon style)

im so proud of my ears it hurts

yesterday i swore the bird sounds in madison square park were fake to my ears. i couldnt believe they were not amplified. i even said so aloud. my associate disagreed heavily right to my face. then again, this morning! the sounds were overwhelmifying. i thought i might really be crazy, prompting me to google "bird sounds madison square park." sure enough and right on time i discovered the truth. thank you google & national publics radio. bill fontana is a lame sick-o.

i have so much excitement in my veins

because "T" minus 3 long hours before the phillies start their much anticipated 2007 campaign. theyll be traveling around the many states this spring and summer lobbying for a coveted spot in the postseason, something that has eluded them since the tag team song "whoomp there it is" (see lyrics) was actually popular and not just funny in the ironic sense.

i was in philadelphtown this weekend to see the phillies in exhibition action against dice-k and his nation of red sox fans. dice-k was ill with his hip gyrations, trust me, but pats the bats blasted a two run jack and then flipped our old boy terry francona the "bird." (see pic and link to story). now youve got the spirit pat! adam eaton pitched like shitty, trust me! today its brett myers taking on john smoltz on TBS. @ 13:05. whoomp it on.

for about a year now ive touted this sneaker as truly the best ive had all life. well today after much searching i finally found a place still selling them. so ive squirreled away two-pair so youll likely see me wearing these well into the early 2010. sorry if you hate them. i love you.
