The Real Treasure

Like We Used To
August 16, 2025
Maybe it’s the quintessential sign of getting old that you think times were better in the past than how they are now, or how they will be in the future. As a society, we all lie to ourselves and tell each other that close to fifty is middle age. When we all know for damn

A few months ago, I got a threatening email about my use of a licensed image. The internet is really the wild west of copyright to some extent. I had once before accidentally used a copyrighted image. The owner messaged me, I took it down, and that was that. This here personal blog I’ve been

Chemical Warfare
July 2, 2025
It was a quiet, hot weekend in Astoria, Queens. Summer wasn’t just in the air, it was the air. Gardens tended to by neighbors flourished with color and floral smells. A drastic and welcomed contrast to Manhattan that would, from now until September, reek of piss. Until Labor Day, all roads to eastern Long Island
