I guess Chris Farley is back from the dead and staring in a low rate Sandler movie...

THE WORLD CUP... 4 years ago

Last time the world cup was going on, I was living in Italy.... AND IT WAS AMAZING.

Italians love soccer. They also REALLY LOVE when they win at Soccer. So winning the world cup? They freak out. They are of course on my bracket as taking home the win this year again.

Here's some pictures from four years ago... (more to come)

My Italian/Brazilian friend Cris and I... Man, I look so young...

FENWAY PARKALARK

Red Sox beat the Phillies 12-2... officially making the Phillies the saddest team ever. 

In other news....

I got hot-hat-hair and did not get an allergic reaction to peanuts... 

Shout-out to Caroline for the sweet tickets!

Lola for Sale... Plus a caBOOZE.

I have a thing for shades.

Someone told me over and over again that my work was very "Nick and Nora." I don't know what that means other than a sub-par hipster movie with a killer Mark Mothersbaugh soundtrack. Perhaps that I draw too many owls and norwhals... Perhaps this friend is really just a middle aged hipster who has a thing for Michael Cera?

So back to the fine arts roots I go. Or at least fore a little.

My current favorite book of the moment: Zeitoun by Dave Eggers

I can't stress enough how important this book is. It's a true story of a Muslin Syrian-American man who helps the victims of Katrina by rescuing them in his canoe. What happens through the rest of the book is equally shocking and moving. It's one of those books that when you put it down, you're replaying the events throughout your mind for days after.

What's also amazing... Dave Eggers is (from what the wikipedia bird says) not profitting from this book but instead the money is going to The Zeitoun Foundation.

This will be a movie for sure...

SHUTTER SHADES

These are almost as stupid as wearing sunglasses at night.

I've decorate my wall.

So, this is now on my bedroom wall. Part One of the decorating stage. It gets a little weird when the crows outside start squawking....

JOHN BUTLER TRIO - ONE WAY ROAD

Another good song that's making me smile.
