  1. Ok, this is what I was thinking about when I woke up. Don’t know what I was dreaming about. But that I am tired of playing the role of a complaining motorist, grousing about out of control cyclists. So at the Brooklyn nude bicylist event in Williamsburg on Saturday, I will put on my bathing suit (12 years of Catholic school, come on, not going nude), get into MY CAMRY and PRETEND to be a Brooklyn cyclist.

    I’ll drive on sidewalks, drive the wrong way on one-way streets, drive the wrong way on two way streets, aim myself toward hapless slow-looking pedestrians, old people, etc. drive over medians, drive in bike lanes. I may knock off a few stupid looking delivery boys while I am at it.

    Yeah, what is going on with the OT? (Just was outside and got rained on…..)

    Also, just put in a rant about Spike Lee who gets my vote for the biggest underachiever of the century.

  2. oh, i forgot, i have another graffitti dilemma! and an electrical dilemma. they tie in tho. ive mentioned it before i think , but in my bedroom i go thru lightbulbs like cobble goes thru ice cream. basically they keep blowing out. it takes three bulbs on the ceiling in one fixture… i had three in and last night all three burned out at once. how is that possible? what could be wrong? i guess i need to get the super in to check it out? except on the wall, literally around the lightswitch i spray painted with that same silver spray paint that caused the drama last week with someone picking up spray paint and tagging the wall when i left it outside. the reason i spray painted the wall was because i was tired of looking at the giant penis and vagina sharpie drawings a friend of mine wrote on the wall a while back. that stuff you have snappy, is it toxic inside? i guess i dont care too much about that, but there is a lot of silver, like multiple coats cuz the sharpie lines kept showing thru the first few coats. what should i do? i dont want the super coming in and seeing that and then thinking that i tagged the outside. plus spray paint on walls is the epitome of ghetto. my super is very anti ghetto, when someone a while back kept throwing bags of dog poop out their window, or off the roof, or from another building or something he would kept going off saying this aint the bronx this aint the bronx. do you regular paint over it would be a good idea? i think i have some old eggshell latex or something, but that would look sto stupid. i think i need to repaint the whole wall i guess.

    is there a trick to get my light working again myself?

    although the Fed should come up with a more modern color than beige (I mean really , how boring and who is going to read it)…but Mao already has copyrights on red.

    I bet if barney frank were in charge it’s be teal.

  4. “If this were to go up 10%, THAT would be a dead cat bounce.”

    Exactly, DIBS. Up 10% a “wall of worry”.

    “we are nowhere near a 10% decline in GDP”

    Yes we are, DCB. It’s papered over by deficit spending in that same amount. They’re filling the contraction. Take the government borrowing and spending away (Bernanke has already hinted he will do such) and you’ll get your “official” -10% contraction call on CNBC. There’s virtually no private demand. In a healthy and recovering economy, it’s the opposite.

    “And we are not seeing anything like the level of suffering that accompanies financial depressions.”

    Have you been outside NYC lately? Still, tip of the iceberg.

    You call borrowing and spending 10% of GDP and calling it a recovery real? Ha!
