Homeless People that make me Smile

Star light, star bright
First first homeless man I see tonight
I wish he may, I wish he might
Wear more than undies on the street tonight.

Dog of the Week

Looks like another sad story of a young boy who has turned to the streets. A sad scene known all too well on the lonely streets of NYC: obedience class drop out, hung out with the wrong muts and got stuck on a long road of drugs, alcohol and prostitution. It's now just him, the clothes on his back, and his dog bowl. Have a heart and drop a buck or a biscuit for Hunter.

Times Square Crazy of the Day

You will have to take my word on this. This jolly man stood in the middle of Broadway with a hat made of feathers and did bird calls. Fortunately, traffic had stopped for a red light, so he was able to take up the entire street with calling all birds in the metropolitan area. He had huge colorful peacock feathers that stuck up in the air. His free hand cupped his mouth as he showed off his best bird call that would put Alabama turkey hunters to shame. I watched mothers grab their kids and pull them far away from the scene. I got excited and grabbed my cell phone! I snapped a picture a little late while he was just finishing his calls.

With my camera mid shot, an elderly business man next to me laughed and said, "you must not be from here." I looked over my shoulder and smiled, "Actually, I do live here. I just like taking pictures of crazy people on my lunch break."
He laughed hard then when he finally caught his breathe said, "I can't believe you haven't run out of film!"

Times Square Crazy of the Day

Tourist truly get a false sense of New York City life when they visit Times Square. Just 13 blocks long, this a a gold mine for crazy characters. Today while I stepped out of the office for my 3 o'clock ice coffee break, I ran into 3 surfers (with surf boards), 4 men that stood 7 foot tall and dressed like the Queen's guards, and a man gagged and tied while people chanted "this war is made of lies, how many more must die." Ohhh right..AND I stepped in urine. Man, I love this city!!!





Not sure what point they were trying to make, but it made me smile.



Hudson river is the other way buddy...


Of course I snapped pictures, otherwise people wouldn't believe me. Can't make this stuff up folks! This is quality Times Square crazy people!!

Guess what I just stepped in...

Urine. That's right. I stepped in urine INSIDE DUANE READE!
