“Hellbound” Times Sq. 2010

This fellow is upset because I’m in his face and he says I’m being disrespectful. I think he’s being disrespectful by telling me that I’m going to Hell. If that’s true, it shouldn’t be just because I’m Caucasian. I think Hell should be earned, not a birthright. These guys have always bothered me. Most religious people bother me. They are so certain I’m going to Hell, while at same time being equally assured that they are Heaven bound…Must be nice.

World Trade Center 1988

Like most New Yorkers that I know, the world trade center did little for me as far as it’s design was concerned. The buildings were awesome to behold due to their scale and they also reflected light on occasion in a magnificent way.

A joke I heard recently went something like this: A young boy is looking at the skyline from Queens and his dad says “The Chrysler bldg. is the most beautiful and the Empire State Bldg. is the the biggest” The kid points to the left and says what about those? (The twin towers) and his dad says “Oh those are just the boxes which the other two came in”
