From The Phone Part 1

All this iPhone 4 talk has made me less confident in my stance as a Blackberry Man. I don't think i'm switching, but when my phone told me today that it couldn't hold anymore photos, I cursed the interface and my inability to get pictures off of my phone with ease (this actually took several hours to do, ugh) but, in the spirit of nostalgia from the first day I got my blackberry curve, I present to you a series of images taken in various stages of sobriety, and over the span of the last two and a half years.

I present to you... From the Phone:


Have you ever heard of King Vitamin cereal? Neither had I. I have never seen it since this picture was taken. An obvious glitch in the Matrix.


July 4th on Eric Robert's roof. Believe it or not, I am not alone in this hot tub, meaning, I am not as creepy as I look.


From the marquis of a church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It speaks for itself.


Dharma Bar in Barcelona. Brilliant. This was sent to me, I did not take this picture.


A prototype of artificial intelligence that spends it's days walking (rolling) into mirrors at the Uniqlo in Soho. Future generations will be embarrassed to be descendent of this adorable yellow cyborg-human relations robot, much like we are of our Neanderthal ancestors.


Over a year before Michael passed away, a friend and I were shopping at Kim's video (another unfortunate loss, well before it's time), where this poster lived on the elevator doors. (see the next image)


Brown jokes aside, it's quite hard to tell the difference between the two. I'll give you a hint. I'm in 3D.


Speaking of brown people, on the same day as MJ, my friend Amanda and I went to buy LOST kubrik toys at Urban Outfitters. This is Sayid. I didn't actually buy it. We learned the hard way (quite easily) that half the fun of blind boxed toys is the surprise. Almost all of the boxes at Urban in Union Square had already been opened. After we saw them all we grew tired, and remembered that our money was much better spent other things.


Simpsons toys at Urban. Again, we didn't open these, but we did play with them quite a bit. Then returned them to their boxes and went home, having spent no money.


This was taken at Teany with my good friend Christina Lehman. I had a very enjoyable experience and planned to visit again shortly. Weeks later the restaurant burned down. It has only just reopened.


My 25th birthday party. Nicky, and Sadaf reacting to drinks, and to each other. The photos I didn't take of this night involve me on a mechanical bull, and making other bad decisions.


Mo Shoes! I think this is on delancy street. This was after brunch. I don't know if it was a sober one or not.


A stolen shot of me at another brunch with Nicky and Texas and others.


I don't know when this was taken, but I like to think it corresponds with the previous photo. Here's the scenario I like to imagine: We are all eating at a bike shop / italian restaurant. Texas steals my phone and takes a photo of me and then herself to show the parallels in the space, both indicated in the emotional attitude, race, and scenery. If only...
