Okay, usually I do the midnight movie thing on Fridays, but I’m busy with my parents in town and don’t have time to do it tonight, so I thought I’d just take pictures on my walk to their hotel today in midtown. One of the things I love about New York is just walking around and looking at all the sights, signs and people. So here we go.
And here we go, straight up 6th Avenue to midtown.
This guy's a regular in the neighborhood. He dresses up in newspaper and asks for money. I gave him two bucks and took this picture.
I like the back of this woman's head. I've been following her for three blocks now.
Okay, I'm officially in love with the back of her head. The back of her head is the Jodie Foster to my inner Travis Bickle. All of a sudden I feel like shooting a pimp and getting a mohawk. You talkin' to me?
Sadly she just turned the corner and now I'm stuck looking at this truck. Sob!
How true! Cocaine and mescaline immediately come to mind.
No food, no drink, no pet...I ain't got no cigarettes!
I wonder how much things cost in this store?
Cheap Trick Nail Alert!
What a bold-faced lie!
A texting woman in Starbucks. Sad.
For my Brazilian friends, I salute you!
Okay, this concludes our NYC walking tour. I'm almost to my parent's hotel. I hope you enjoyed it.
Obligatory goofy hotel elevator mirror shot! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow, after dark.

The video with Paris Hilton and Ellen was great. It was hilarious and check out the shoes in that girls closet. Paris,,nice being rich, right? Lots of great videos today, classic Jack in Easy Rider, "to old DH lawrence" nick, nick, nick,,,,INDIANS. great post Marty
@rita r: I'm still sobbing!
@ZioumZioum's Man: Give me a break, this shit is free, you will take what I give you and enjoy it! I'll tell my parents you said hi!
@Al: I'm glad YOU appreciate this! That's my favorite scene from Easy Rider, need to do that as a midnight movie soon!
I wonder if that newspaper guy is related to Cardboard Man ? !!!
I dont want to think about the lunk with tuck shirt and his much smaller girlfriend.. she looked pretty from the back..maybe he has money.
I love your mum and dad.. hope you had a good time..
I said I was just joking , bitch .
I kept expecting to see John Voight with a cowboy hat with Dustin Hoffman limping along at his side...."People WALKING heah!"....it was the only thing missing.
@GENE: Ha! Maybe it's his cousin!
@Gidgie: "maybe he has money" Ha ha ha! That cracked me up! And yes, we're having a great time!
@ZioumZioum's Man: I was just joking too, you bigger bitch.
@Jaws: Ha! I'll have to remember that for the next tour!
Thanks for the tour. Have a fun night with the parental units. Ellen is the only one that could make watching Paris bearable. I wish my life was exciting enough to start a Cougar Club. Nice to see a healthy self esteem on someone :)
Coincidentally, I'm on $39.00 worth of mescaline, so I'm really getting a kick out of this post!
@kari: Thanks! I feel sorry for the cougar's kids. They're really going to be ridiculed now!
@Harry: Don't bogart that mescaline!
@kari and Harry: If you two merged into one being, your name would be Harry Kari! I'm cracking myself up over here!
Except my name isn't pronounced Carrie :) Sorry to ruin the rhyme
@kari: Well, you're going to have to change the way your name sounds. I will not have that joke ruined because of such a minor technicality!
Or maybe Harry will change his name to Hari.
I think Harry should do that. Everyone loves a Hari Krishna!
Are Hindu deities becoming a regular motif here?
If I worked at the $39 shoe store, every time someone bought a pair I would ask for $78 cash.
I'm easy,,,
At the risk of sounding like Capt. Hair Splitter: it's Hare
Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna
Hare Hare
Hare Rama

Do-lang, do-lang, do-lang
Do-lang, do-lang
I feel as though I have been lied to by the internet. But how could the internet be wrong? I think I'll go with Hare Kari, because this Hari Kari is something I want no part of.
Harry Caray?
nice walk...have never obsessed 'bout the back of a women's head...great links...that nighcap made me feel very old...
To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo.

@csp: It appears they are!
@Hare: Rama-lama-ding-dong!
@kari: I agree.
@csp: Harry Caray is dead. He committed Harry Reasoner.
@rr: I feel old too...oh, wait, it's because I am! Scary quote from a scary woman! Just ask Andy!
gotta stir the pot once in a while...

@rr: I hear you, I'm stirring it right now!
I love the newspaper guy. I've sat next to him a bunch of times, in various subway stations (4th. 14th mostly) & it's amazing watching him put his look together. Good for you for taking a picture - I was always too shy to ask him. You're an inspiration, Marty!
I love the walking tour! GO INDIANS! GO CLEVELAND! GO BROWNS!
@onemorefoldedsunset: He was funny, kind of business-like about it. I gave him two bucks and asked if I could take his picture and he said, "Okay, but make it quick, I'm working here." Ha!
@Biff: GO BROWNS!
Little Brazil!!! I'm feeling home now!!!! =]
@Gue Stecher: I was thinking of you when I saw that sign!
