Virginia Key / Geschicht vom Sommer

July 22, 2008

Mann und Frau kaufen rollende Schuhe um zusammen zu rollen. Sie rollen und können nicht halten und stürzen und versinken im heißen Asphalt.

Und der Hans von der harten Musik kommt vorbei, und auf ihm lastet es schwer. Er sieht den Dingen ins Auge. Er hat den Augapfel gepierct.

Und ein Schwarm auserirdischer Kinder in großen Hosen fällt er über die Stadt. Und sie überspringen alle Mäuerchen und ich glaub so werden, so werden Skateboards gezeugt. Halleluja, das ist der Sommer im Asphalt sitzen und versinken…Skateboards zeugen, Augäpfel piercen, Halleluja das ist der Sommer.

Peter Licht Rockt.

From the original 2006 post.

Translation of the song + youtube of it after the cut.

China Man Discount: Grand opening

July 12, 2008

I noticed there was a new store on the way to mom’s house…

…no one said Little Havana was politically correct.

Mr. Iguana

July 6, 2008

Just finished a punishing duty week and my sleep schedule is decisively fucked.
Saw The Happening, and wished I didn’t. Daniel was right, as usual.
Another thing I will not miss about Miami is animals like Mr. Iguana here, who completely blocked the path to my car. Mr. Iguana flared at me and simply would not shoo. This went on for about five minute, which seems like a ridiculously long amount of time for a non bear/alligator/chimp etc-like animal to block my car. I even caught myself pondering whether stoning an Iguana to death is a crime against a protected species…

Homeboy must have realized that my thoughts had turned to murder because he eventually, with great show, got out of my way and took to glaring from a distance (as I happily drove off.)

July 4th was rained out. Not that it mattered because I was on duty (which is akin to house arrest). I’ve been on summer RA/conference duty on the 4th for the past three years, so I’m used to it being a non-event. (This goes for Christmas and New Years too. Holidays in college consisted of me alone (and on call) in a completely empty dorm building. You know, just in case the two random exchange students still on campus decided to perhaps, burn something or snort coke in halls.)

Hey, you never know.

Snippets, lots of them.

June 30, 2008

Crap. So I got behind again…oodles of snippets…

- Three days of (punishing) desk shifts. 7 hours on Friday, 10 hours on Saturday, 4 hours on Sunday.
- Long, dramatic night in the Provence with DG and his stupid new tattoos (that’s right, I called them stupid…for christ’s sake, you got a MUSTACHE TATTED ON YOUR FINGER?! WHO DOES THAT?) There was the Dominican, the “embarrassed” 60-year-old, the twink from Michigan and his Hispanic friend who I was inadvertently rude to, and Karaoke including my rendition of “Feedback” (yes I did).
- The storm shutters on the dorm broke, so I had to take the plants to madre’s house. After a political debate with my mom’s drunkard neighbor, I realized that my tire was flat.
- South Beach adventures with Lopez. There was the black guy who was SO not Indian, a fight in the Gogo bar, Voguing competition between Flipflop and King Kong, the 80-year-old known as the Grim Reaper (who gives everyone filthy looks), the 6-foot overlarge woman with the blonde Diana-Ross thing going on, and that ever-present looming porn star with the cowboy hat. Why? Why, why?
- Finally figured out the RSS thing. I now have a RSS feed of law-student blogs on my Windows Vista Sidebar. Nerdage. I know.
- Midnight water fight with JHR and P. We all happen to have supersoakers. One of those bike rent-a-cops stopped us. JHR and I were like, “oh crap!” but P. flashed his student ID and (basically) said “I PAY $32,000 IN TUITION WE DO WHAT WE WANT!” And we went about in our water mayhem.
- Briefly had a pornstache for fashion purposes only.

- Bought a men’s fashion magazine at Barnes and Noble and was made to feel like I was buying smut.
- 3am Taco Bell run with Eddie before he went back to Tallahassee.
- Subwayman who leers at women’s chests. Ricky and I have discussed this. Ricky says he’s retarded. I just think he’s just a creep. Everyone’s uncomfortable.
- Finished Don DeLillo’s “Falling Man” and was incredibly impressed.
- Finally put away my laundry instead of tossing it throughout my dorm room like I usually do.
- Got my lease and fine schedule from Gamma Eta Gamma. Excitement ensued.
- Long walks with Christine. Once to Coconut Grove, another in South Beach (along with watching the Zohan movie). Here is the obligatory tourist photo.

Lots of midnight pacing while listening to the Black Devil, who is trendy at the moment.
Other trendy things in my world include Red Eye, Jeanine Pirro, and this five year old entry on anonymous blogging.
And that’s basically it… I’m on duty this week. I also redesigned memosandmirth.com/. Ta-da!

Hi Henry

June 21, 2008

I ran into Henry, the campus alligator last night.

I’m pretty sure there are multiple gators, but I refer to them all as Henry, since I only see one at a time.

I wonder what type of wildlife Minneapolis has…

Miami during summer: Rain, rain, heat, rain, rain, humidity, parrot, rain.

The parrots are SO loud. I need a beebee gun.

Days have been lazy, nights have been fun…and well, loud, when the parrots are around. We have a wild flock that roams around campus. They drill their nests in old palm trees.
