R.I.P - George Carlin Dead at 71
I will forever miss his rants.
NYC, iPhones and fixies are better than my old LA lifestyle, Blackberries, and Audi A6’s, maybe even suburbs, Wal-Mart, and foreign cars.
Hey, guess what, I’m alive!
I last posted from Sydney, where I was noticeably quiet about HOW AWESOME IT WAS because, well… it wasn’t. There were a lot of great things about Sydney mind you (especially the food), but it has about as much cultural sophistication as San Diego. I went back to LA, where I couldn’t stand celebrity culture, urban sprawl, and craptastic traffic, packed up my shit, sold my car, and moved to NYC, where we resume our hero’s “my city is better than yours” story.
On Saturday, some kid made off with my iPhone at the Brooklyn Banks, which is as best as I can describe it, one of the last, great original skate (and bmx) spots. At best guess, there were about oh… a MILLION little urban grom kids there that day, on all manner of ratty skateboards, department-store bmx bikes, the shoes of shame (fruitboots), and the lowest on the EXTREEEEME sports totem pole, the razor scooter crowd. To make a long story short, I was shredding the gnar, and the damn thing fell out of my pocket without me noticing–some lady came up to me and said: “Check your pockets, something fell out–I hope it wasn’t important, one of those kids ran off with it.”, pointing in the general direction of about oh… a half a million little twats, none of which would never ever just hand over an iPhone they just found.
So, that blows, right? NYC 1, Smoovebert 0 continue reading this story —>
