Eazy, Breezy, New York Ceezy pt.5

Craigslist is an unconditional lover

He's been known to help you find new jobs, apartments, Schwinn cruisers and perhaps a missed connection or two- Craig is no fair-weather friend. He'll also help you when you're down and out, just look what I found in todays "free stuff" listing:



The AbSlide: A complete upper body workout that shapes, tones, stretches and strengthens





These bricks come in handy for a stackable shelving project





A little TLC and this could be a picture perfect Queen Anne's Chair





JuJitsu classes...a few words from this CL poster:

"May be one of the last one of its kind.

Free........

New martial art dojo in Long Isalnd and Brooklyn.

We are wellcoming anybody who wants to
lear a true martial art.

No matter who: slim, heavy, strong, shy, out going,
bully, well educated, house wife, sexual inclination,
non English speacker, alfa male, girl, short, tall etc.

Because everybody is different, this matial art will
improve your unique abilties and will give you new ones.

This is not a Mc Dojo."

...hmmmm. Not a Mc Dojo?

Art

Check out Kehinde Wiley's scrumptious portraits now through December 20th at Deitch


Knowledge

Not only is the New York Public Library a scource of beauty in and of itself, it also happens to contains a world of free knowledge available to anyone. You're crazy not to own a library card.


Food

A few approaches to eating for free in nyc:
*Food stamps...but you have to be at serious poverty level to qualify
*Stuff your face full of samples at Whole Foods...a 'recession breakfast" as my friends like to call it
*Buy a beer, get a free pizza at Alligator Lounge
*Buy a beer, get a free hot dog at Lost and Found
*Organize a 15-person party at Bushwick Country Club and you drink for free...bump it up to 30 people and they'll toss in free hot dogs
*Happy hour includes free veggie platters and sandwiches every day but Sunday at Ellis Bar

Christmas vacation: Reykjavik?

In planning a Christmas trip this year, I'm surprisingly drawn to climates even colder than my own. But who wouldn't be drawn to this "nightlife capital of the north" with its' geothermally heated beaches and spas and NYE fireworks display?...

Went: The Bronx Zoo! 09.20.08

The Bronx Zoo is freakin huge. We spent 5 hours there last Saturday and barely covered it all...



My girl Maxine


An Indian Red Panda's tail


It wasn't that dark


I hoped so badly to relive that time when I was 5 and that flirty giraffe at Woodland Park Zoo reached its neck over the fence and kissed me


These two couldn't get enough of eachother


Beautiful!


Observing man in his natural habitat


Sea lions are my favorite


Skyfari!

Went: Lola Staar's Dreamland Roller Rink

For my man's 27th bday, I surprised him with a party at Dreamland. What 27 year old dude wouldn't want to celebrate another year by sporting roller skates and a transformers party hat while cruisin to the sounds of Nu Shooz' greatest hits?

Where the magic happened...


Some party-goers...




The real surprise came at around 11pm when the Daisy Spurs really shook what their mamas gave em...


Mmm hmmm...


A few members of the posse...


Me and the birthday boy...
