Feet!


Feeeeeet!!!!

too many people



Happy Halloween. Sam and I went as Walter and Jesse from Breaking Bad. Not Top Chef. Although Walter and Jesse do cook some good shit.

All weekend long, I was listening to Paul McCartney's 1971 album "Ram". I like all the songs, especially the first track which I'm pretty sure is about how there are seven billion people alive today.

Many Too Small Boxes and Grandma

Last Wednesday my grandma had a heart attack so the Carroll's rallied in New York this weekend.

I learned 6 things.

1. How to say many important phrases in Czech such as "That is a pile of shit", "Shut your mouth", and "I'm gonna hit you so hard, your dog won't recognize you".

2. That Steve Jobs was a fascist, at least according to my dad. I took this picture about 30 seconds after he said that. Notice the pride in his shit-eating grin. Upon learning that Steve Jobs never gave money to charity, my dad sat back and said, "Actually that makes me respect him more."




3. As it turns out, it was not my mom who climbed over a fence to see The Beatles at Shea, but her friend. Thank you Sue for bringing this to my attention. My mom said Paul was her favorite and Ringo was her second, "not because he was talented, but because he was funny." Mom is the only non-fascist my dad has ever met.




4. The price of a cab between Woodside and Williamsburg varies between 13 and 40 bucks depending on how much of an asshole the driver is.


5. My uncle Al flew 25 missions over Germany in 1944. Then he came back to New York and built subways. Now he is a watermelon model. He finally found his calling.




















6. If you want to cheer up an old lady in the hospital, try showing her Maru videos.



6 1/2. Actually, if you want to cheer up anyone, try showing them Maru videos.
