Tahhday was a good day- well- yesterday was a good day..DSC_0004

I chilled at home for a while.

Then headed into the city to meet up with Dan to talk about Spring/Summer 2010 for a little bit.

When Dan went to his last class, I loligagged around in Virgin Megastore- or what’s left of Virgin Megastore..

Then headed to “the office” or my old room to hold up until Dan got out of his last class of spring (congrats, Dan, congrats)

This page contains the future of Young Professionals, NYC. There are going to be some incredible things coming in the year 2010. The excitement is almost unbearable. So much more than I could ever hope for. You’re going to poop in your pants.

New nick name today, it had to refer to something that I do/ am about= A. Disaster. (no lie) It kinda sucks that I had to come up with it- I was hoping someone else would do that for me- ya know? It’s kind of a lame thing to do.. give yourself a nick name… idk.

I weaseled my way into a new 8900 by Blackberry by calling t-mobile and threatening to abort my contract, like the child I never wanted. And they got me to a “specialist”. Or as I like to call him “Santa’s helper” bc he hooked me UUUUUUP. Phone should be in my hands on Friday- so to those of you that actually read this blog and have been wondering where I have been- I’m using my nokia flip phone from 1987 and don’t have anyones number saved in it…

I need to get some sleep- BIG DAY TOMORROW. Meeting with a NEW pattern maker- sssssgonna be gooooood.

xo a. disaster

I haven’t really been in the blogging mood, so its been a minute. The new P.O.S. record is awesome- and he isn’t doing all of that screaming bullshit like in Audition. (thumbs up). I do like Audition though…. its goooooood.

Friday, I made a terrible mistake:

This weekend Dan, Nuwan and I became trekies. Seriously- Star Trek is AMAZING. I wouldn’t hesitate to pay 12.50 again to see it.

YNGPRO is doing some awesome things…. We kinda just re-re-re-re-vamped our direction a tad bit…. ITS EXCITING!!! Thursday we are going to another patternmaker to hopefully get some shiat ready…. you’ll be suuupriiiized..

Today i took this picture:

Mike tattoo’d me yesterday and it looks amazing:

dsc_0003right on my ditch! I’m so freaking sore. The banner is a quote from “Bleed & Blister” by Moneen. It’s a white tie and yes, that’s a gold tooth in there. I can’t wait until it heals- honestly, i can’t: b/c i can’t bend my right arm until it does.- lets just say, last night was very hard to get to sleep w/ my arm fully extended at all time. I can’t complain too much b/c (as dan would say) it looks beeeeeaaaaaaaddd aaaaaaaaayysssssssss.

My brother sent me a “almost final draft” of a shirt he is designing. That kid is ridiculous- he is soo fucking talented- i only wish i could draw as well as he does.

Today I need to work on some stuff for Yng Pro and idk- I think I’ll relax a little bit.

I’m not really sure what happened.

Today was awesome:

I cleared my closet and sold some things at beacons closet and buffalo exchange.

Grabbed coffee at Blackbirds with Joel for an hour or so and caught up.

I headed to Dans to check on UPS- called them, dealt with that.

Headed home for some sketti and to check on Dex.

Went out for Cinco De Mayo drinks with some good friends.

Some point between the UPS call and the grabbing drinks everything went to shit.  Maybe all of this rain is playing with me, but I got really irritable and kind of gave up on the day. I just feel really defeated and worthless. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I feel like a failure.

Tomorrow is a new day, though. I’m getting up and running some errands, getting a tattoo at 5:

and then hopefully drinks with Lo. I really want to go to Florida and hang with Evan, I miss you buddy: feel better.

calling it a night,

Its been an eventful couple of days. we have been all over the place- checking out fabrics, finalizing artwork and working constantly.  Yng Pro.

Today we took a bike ride to retrieve one of our sample boxes from the ups. We got our paperwork for our and are now legit: YNG PRO NYC, LLC.

I mispoke the other day regarding the weather (which is currently 55 degrees outside)- but hey, in my defense: What do I look like? A meteorologist?

I think my brother had the Swine Flu- but he’s better now. Its all about rehydrating, people. Honestly I hope I don’t get it. Just having the flu a year ago really convinced me that- if I get another “flu”- I will kill myself.

I’m really happy. Am in good spirits.

Yesterday was a beautiful day:

dsc_00112I just wish we had more of a spring instead of jumping into summer right away. If there is one thing I don’t like about New York its the extremes of weather. We don’t really have a Fall or a Spring- just Winter and Summer. Just hella cold and mega hot. You get about 4 days on average of amazing in between weather and the rest of the time you’re either in a jacket or wishing you could take off your pants wherever you are.

Dexter made a new friend:

I can’t stop listening to the new Asher Roth record. Its amazing.

Today we’re going to meet our fabric guy about our button downs and order sample fabric for next month. Its going to be awesome.

So Friday night was interesting. I killed at beer pong and broke a mirror like a jackass. Then after a long recovery this morning i left around 5 to get lost in the west village and then grabbed dinner with Sam. Didn’t really take any pictures today- just wasn’t in the mood to take pictures of landscapes and architecture.

dsc_00231Good Dudes.

Lesson of the Day:

If you need drugs, walk into washington square park. With in 5 minutes I was asked 5 times if I would like to acquire weed or “cain”.
