In the Thickest Fog... Manchester Sees it All!

Recent moves bring different views, and horrors, ghosts, and bombs on every corner. In the district of Manchester, Stockton Life doesn't miss a beat. Wake up to a fog so thick, you cant see past the glass in the windows... very very big windows. Would you die for the view? Cut through the riff-raff, and scale quietly and swiftly through the stairwells... never to be caught off guard in the elevators! Be sure to check out stairwell 5 as it holds the information you need to get through the concrete jungle!

Downtown King

Its been quite a while since i have said anything here, i almost forgot about it!! but not so, I am still around and should probably be posting more regularly hopefully. Looking through some of the more recent ones it seems there has been lack of plot!! There's still lots in my head, so i reckin that's a good thing right? like this one situation i thought of recently after a bourbon or 5. There is this nightclub... hottest place in town, and EVERYONE wants to go right?! so they have all these wicked crazy parties whit themes and costumes... DJs and dancers... actually this isn't a club, this is my house, cause my parties are sick as shit!! so anyways.... i went to a place called fat Tuesdays and they basically make drunk slurpees, and you get to keep the cub. a win win, you get drunk, slurpees are the shit, and you get a souvenir to drink your oj from the next morning when you have that terrible headache!! i thought holy moly what a great party idea... get the machines, have like three flavors, and make your home a 711 for the night... im talking nachos, chips, slurpees, hot dogs on rollers and taquitos!!! I just don't see how this party could possibly fail right?? anyways that's not really a story, just me sharing a little nugget of awesome with you.

Morning Walks- Morning Hikes!

No longer downtown! What to do? Car- free for the time, I am walking to work... along HOPKINS RD!! this is not my typical urban stroll you may have grown accustomed to reading about! I love the walk, its a little dangerous in some spots, as there is no shoulder space on one of the bridges, and the cars FLY around the sharp turns!! None the less, its a great way to start the day. The sights are beautiful, believe it or not! The sights you are about to see, are for the most part un-retouched!

What in the World is Going On in AmptHill?!

I have a keen eye for noticing the little things I see when I stumble around town. I feel like I can normally make sense of most of it too. However, this is one part of town that  I will never understand. WTF is going on here? This is a 3 block walk from my office to Burger King.... I will let the snaps tell the story!!!

Actually this either all makes PERFECT sense... or ABSOLUTELY NONE!!

It was Jefferson Davis! In The Garden, With the kitchen Knife!!!

In the Street of of Wind...

No typo... OF OF!! It is not anything I expect everyone, or anyone to get.... But those who do, may appreciate the statement. Its not running away. it moving forward... and most of the time that sucks. Like every other part of growing up, and being an adult!! Well, when you are loaded, and amaze-balls like me, then being a grownup rocks socks, but, still there are certain responsible actions that need to be taken... and there is no way around their suck factor. The Street of of Wind, did in fact devour me.... ALL THE WAY TO MY BIRTHMARK! It is hard to leave, but if you stay too long, you'll be eaten alive, and only dust will remain to be blown away! Time to make moves, I hit up the south side... One more before I go and here is what I see.

Tumbling down the hill on Cary, you are reminded of the plight of the nation, our city holds strong... but no one can escape the realities of the rest of the mother land.Survival is what Richmond bleeds on everyone else!

The financial institutions, who have pillaged every tribe in every township are the only gleaming building, who can still afford window washers, and automatic irrigation systems on their terraces. They loom over us like big brother... and remind us every day that THEY are really in charge... no government, no order, no unity... just banks!

Lets not forget the attorneys who protect them!!

But I do not have a grim outlook! I am bright and full of cheer! Because I have learned one of life's best kept, most widely known secrets... Ignorance IS bliss! continue your day today and everyday as if you are the only one that matters... The minute you stop... you will be thrown, hit, re-ran and smeared on the pavement by that bus you were just about to board!

More importantly... NEVER EVER ignore the small, discrete words, and clues all around you at any given time... THEY ARE MESSAGES!! They are "the voices in your head" They will tell you what to do!! GET A JOB! go to work... make money. Don't fall for the lie, it does make life better!!!

Corporate Sell Out, and The Lower 4th

My goodness shit has been BUSY!! Finally taking the dive, working for myself, taking the bus, striking big deals, making that dolla! WHO HAS THE TIME?! I am making it work in big ways though, and its about to get BIG! I finally had the chance, thanks to a new friend, who dragged me out of the house and got me back on my streets, to do some wandering around! Starbucks in hand, I arrived at my humble abode, nearing the last time I will arrive there, I hit the parking deck with the dog and the roommate, and got my spark back after having felt empty for a little while! Miraculously, I stumbled across this little message on my walk to the house from the bus stop. And that's how it started!

While on the Lower 4th Level, I was able to catch views of the neighborhood I had not seen before.

Anyone in Richmond, has noticed that this metropolis is more of a ghost town... especially after business hours, and everywhere you look, if you look enough, you will see reminders of the promise of a good life. If you sell yourself to corporate America, as I have, you will be met with luxury, and security.

Until it all ends!!

Fortunately for me, I find peace and comfort in riverside sunsets, graffiti, and skyline views!! Love it or hate it, thrive or die, Richmond is MY CITY, and I want to be no where else!!
