The slowest start to a season ever and the fact that I am celebrating my twenty eighth birthday forced me to take a hard cold look at my life and head out of the mountains and into the big bad world of Manhattan for a little life, art and lessons about both and to realize I don't care how I old I am, I am still that immature ding dong who can't go to a science exhibit and not laugh at the word sphinkter or the male anatomy. Oooooh this sounds so dramatic but really I just need to get the hell out of Aspen and do different things, see different things, and wander in a new locale, here are my random photos in taxi cabs and all things city.
Canal Street madness from the "safety" of a New York City Taxi cab, which by the way have gone all "some other city on us" they have changed their font to resemble the T sign from Boston's metro system and have all these flowers painted on the hoods and trunks, It's for a good cause and all that but it is beginning to feel like those "art" bulls you see in Chicago airport. Boo, Leave the Bulls at the craft fairs and bring back the grungy sketchy cabs, pretty soon they aren't going to be the least bit scary and that would be no fun at all.
Seriously, What do you think? I feel like I'm in Boston, not that Boston is such a bad place but I like my east coast cities to feel different, ya know. And I also like to be able to look out the window to figure out where I am versus the new GPS systems and TV screens that are in more and more cabs. Okay, enough you get the point.
Late night taxi cab confessions, didn't really care what it looked like at this point just wanted to go home and happy to find one even if it did have that dumbass T on it.
Okay enough about the state of affairs of NYC taxi cabs, on to the Bodies exhibit, you know the ones where they have all these "donated" bodies stripped down and frozen so we can all see what the human body looks like under the skin. Fascinating really, I mean you can see all the tendons, muscles, bones, ligaments, sphincters, and all that stuff.
Pretty crazy and kind of creepy and about half way through I realized I was still not mature enough to see the Human body stripped down. I could not stop saying "dong" or pointing out the dangling testies to my friend, seriously when will I ever grow up? Am I a bad person? She laughed too.....
The Bodies Exhibit is at South Street Seaport which I always forget is part of the city but this mess of sails and high rises acts as a good reminder.
BKLYN....
Are you tired of my random musing because it is just about to get a lot less interesting...The Gotta Love New York Segment.....
.
Gotta love Random Street art....so awesome and the website plug too.
Gotta love that you can leave you bike "locked" up on the street and it will still get stolen and stripped in a matter of seconds. YEAH NEW YORK.
Gotta love window shopping and store displays, This is a tile shop that changes their entire store display every month, the entire store is a mosaic of tiles, "mosaic of tiles" might be redundant but who doesn't love a mosaic white tiger? Sigfried and Roy do.
Gotta love city kids....this is one of my most fabulous nieces, Claire, who grew up in NYC and knows more about art, music and life than I do, which might not be saying a lot but she is the best.
That's all for now, I promise my next blog will be about snowboarding and might even be interesting....xoxox t
