cafeteria thanksgiving

I went to MOMA! some (Emily S.) know it by the name as store, but this is the world famous (and world awesome if that works as a descriptor) Museum of Modern Art. I give them mad respek for including the o, though subjugated, in the acronym.
The intangible feeling I inevitably get in museums was present, 10 fold. There is a whole gallery devoted to interesting examples of design, and it was a 6 out of 6. the photographs were amazing. well basically everything was, but to avoid seeming too verbose, I will punctuate this visually:

after being here for around three months give or take, I have only been to three out of five boroughs.
manhattan is a given, and I would like to pretend that I know it by heart. everywhere south of 14th streeet, and I can say that and almost be not lying.
I have also been to brooklyn, the home of rappers and hipsters alike. I would like to consider myself somewhere in between that mix, but only history shall judge.
and last weekend, I visited STATEN ISLAND!

to anyone who is not vaguely aware of the significance of this 1/5 of new york, look it up on wikipedia. one fact to throw out there is that it is the largest methane polluter in the world. why am I close to kissing the ground (I say this because I do this in a later picture)? ye olde thespian goodness. we did a documentary in images on a journey from my current home to SI as the crazy kids call it. it required a ferry ride, which was cool.
in all honesty though, Staten Island isn't that bad, especially given that I hate being overly ironic and disappreciative. we met an old lady named Betty Davies, she was cool. and a ninth grader (the kind that finds cartman overly funny in a non-ironic sense and likes to scream a lot) called me the coolest man alive. 4 out of 6
it should also be noted that there is no reason why I shouldn't have been to bronx or queens.......whoops, jenny jenny jenny

Soon I will return home! To cars, cold, and people most of which make Omaha worthwhile. I will miss new york though. but I miss you kids, I'm all about doing it for the kids. perhaps it will be fun. correction, i think it will be very fun. I am way too pumped for it maybe though

lastly, I am a 4 personality apparently. next blog perhaps I will bring to you Which Lord of the Rings Elf Am I?

I know everything

who am I?

so this evening multiple hilarious concepts came about....
first I shall reference the delightful writing, news, and everything else site themorningnews.org it is only slightly new york centric so I reccomend it to everyone

secondly, within said site, I reccomend the writer Matthew Baldwin (who also writes at defectiveyeti.com). he wrote this.
to take a mannerism from don here at nyu, I will pop tart it: it suggests that the check box on income tax forms which assigns $3 to the presidential campaign should instead be reassigned to fund "PIZZA PARTY USA!!!!!" in which every citizen receives free pizza, pop (not soda) and money for games every leap year day (which will consequentially made into a federal holiday. I hope everyone finds this as hilarious as I do, and it's not even my idea, who could IMAGINE

anyways so at a discussion during dinner with dave (sitcom anyone?), many furhter derivations which are not at all really based on this idea came up. when is the last time the united states had some good old red white and blue FUNNNN? using this potluck of unused money would create a surplus o' awesomeness to use at our discretion, perhaps the first truly democratic thing we the people will have control of (this is not a political blog).
note: I am sardonic

why not make some jokes at other countries expenses to start off?
like holding a benefit concert for underpriveleged african children, except the hooker is that you can only get in if you are an underpriveleged african child...ehh ehh anyone having fun yet?
how about sending ironic toys to people in iceland and greenland. like an icebox, or swimming trunks
It's like international Punk'd, I'm sure we can get N.Mandelizzy in on this

from there came the idea that us, being dave and I but I suppose whoever reads this is welcome as well, could have control of said money. instead of acting as overbearing economic lobbyist to the world, we could act the same way within our own government! imagine the possibilities...

okay we only thought of one, but its a good one. so think of all the switchups in the current administration, there's no one really great or memorable. the real stars of the last admin aren't committing to the sequel, something about royalties or the forcing of complacency. so rather than focus on the new guys who will no doubt be forced into the hardline, why don't we create an entirely new department?

it will be called the department of home videos for short, or longer, the department of america's funniest home videos. naturally, lead by bob saget. it will focus on diverting some of the resources from say, an iraq war, towards finding those hilarious moments captured right at home, by regular old americans like you! what better way to improve the american image throughout the world, than by showing our citizens getting racked on their bicycles!!!!!!!

there will be more but I am uninspired at the moment. these are good ideas, I endorse them.
I have a few good ideas for a movie to make by the way, the main one involving being rad to the max. like that is the concept, sometime I will explain
