Dear Toronto Friends,

See you soon.

Puppies Are Zen

Just woke up... trying to wake up... trying to put myself in a good mood by watching All Dogs Go To Heaven clips..

why does anne-marie kinda resemble olivia?

then I was thinking how much I love puppies.. then I was thinking how much I miss this little lady.... she was my bff for almost a year...

we had something special... it was called "chicken"

You Better Believe It

I just came across this photograph and it made me really happy. It also got me thinking...

(one of the most fun days ever... we made nyc our slip n slide)

I dont know if I said anything yet... but the clothing brand Aritizia is featuring me as one of their featured photographers for their fall clothing line. This is really exciting. They licensed 3 images from me... this is one of them...

I'm hoping we'll be on tshirts... thats even better then having your photograph on a tshirt. I mean... uhhh? I'm really excited.. I can't wait to see it. I don't know what they're using the images for yet... I could compare the feeling to coming home and seeing a package slip on your door.

moving sucks but i'm lucky to have rad friends. moving still blows.... been having crazy dreams... my mom is in mexico and i miss her :( yeah thats about it for right now.... did i forget to mention moving really sucks?

Penthouses and Parachutes

Surrender, Surrender, But Don't Give Yourself Away

I have realized recently.. theres work I want to document on film (my personal work).. theres work I want to film (on video... working on getting a flip)... and then there are funny or cute moments I just want to snap with my blackberry curve for myself :)

ALOHA!

hi BB!

Dear James, Thinking of you! Love always, Dana

for some reason this didn't really shock me or phase me... sorrrrryyyyyyy

free pinkberry in soho.. line was down and around the block. mmmm :)

post apocalyptic. if you missed out on this sky.. you really missed out. ive never seen anything like it.

loungin!

WILD MAN!

<33...>

The night ended with me screaming with a brick in hand...

"NOOOOOOOO I DONT WANT TO SNORT YOUR COKE...."
"NOOOOO I DONT WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH YOU...."

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BUILDING"

I fell asleep and dreamt my friends and I flooded a large room.
(it resembled Dominique Palombo's studio on Mulberry Street). The water, maybe 3 feet high. The room contained a large bathtub at the far end... the flooded room was from the water that overflowed from the bath tub that all my friends and I were hanging out in.

("Pool party?") I looked up and a guy I have a crush on walked in with his girlfriend. He was being really mean to her and I thought, what a douche bag. For some reason, this woman I don't particulary care for was there too.

(She's showed up in my dreams a lot lately.) I climbed out of the tub to grab my camera... but realized my camera (t4) was now floating and ruined bc it got wet. I thought to myself "FUCK, now I have to buy a new camera" as I woke up.

THE ARGENTINIANS

Sometimes when I'm really down, I hide alone in my apartment.

This particular night I was trying to be alone... I heard my door bell ringing... I peeked out the window to see who it was.. and there was Alex and Olivia below my window on the sidewalk playing harmonica. It made me smile so much, it pulled me right of my bad mood as they came up... giggling... doing eachothers makeup on the green futon.

The first time I met Olivia... I had just gone through some crazy stuff with people I thought were my friends. I looked at her and said "I don't really know you but I like you. Whatever you do.. just please don't backstab me. I just don't know if I can deal with it anymore."

Hey There Delilah--- I mean Brandee

Nice tat, yo!

what is with the rain?? helloooo..... stop already.then went to tribecca and met up with three of my favoritest baby badasses ... as they helped me get out of a predicament and showed off their fresh ink.priceless.

It was really nice seeing them but I had to run....Rode my bike to BK to pick up a bunch of these. Got caught ontop the bridge in the rainstorm.. it was pretty radical... and wet.

Nice seeing Gabi and Amy... I really appreciate everything Vice has done for me.

A Place in My Mind I Can't Escape

Salem LIVE (finally!) New York, New York June 20, 2009....They played an amazing show. I was baffled by the amount of people I saw from my past.



I love their music so much bc I don't have to think about it. I just feel it... like a place in my I can't escape. Its all the demons and skeletons from my past that brought me here today. Its all the things I've felt that have nearly destroyed me.. but have made me a stronger person. Like hands in the dark.

I'll leave you with one of their music videos....


I want to make a music video for them.

:)

yayyyyyyyyyyyy

THE GREAT ESCAPE

TIMES REPORTER HELD BY TALIBAN ESCAPES
By THE NEW YORK TIMES

Published: June 20, 2009

A New York Times reporter who was kidnapped by the Taliban has escaped and made his way to freedom after more than seven months of captivity in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

David Rohde, along with a local reporter, Tahir Ludin and their driver, Asadullah Mangal, were abducted outside of Kabul on Nov. 10 while Mr. Rohde was researching a book.

Mr. Rohde was part of the Times reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize in May for coverage of Afghanistan and Pakistan last year.

Mr. Rohde told his wife, Kristen Mulvihill, that Mr. Ludin joined him late Friday night in climbing over the wall of a compound where they were being held in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan. They found a Pakistani army scout, who led them to a nearby army base, and on Saturday they were flown to the American Bagram military base in Afghanistan.

“They just walked over the wall of the compound,” said Ms. Muvihill.

Mr. Mangal did not escape with the two other men.

The initial report was that Mr. Rohde was in good health, while Mr. Ludin injured his foot in the escape.

Until now, the kidnapping has been kept quiet by The Times and other media organizations out of concern for the men’s safety.

“From the early days of this ordeal, the prevailing view among David’s family, experts in kidnapping cases, officials of several governments and others we consulted was that going public could increase the danger to David and the other hostages. The kidnappers initially said as much,” said Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times. "We decided to respect that advice, as we have in other kidnapping cases, and a number of other news organizations that learned of David’s plight have done the same. We are enormously grateful for their support.”

Since the men were abducted, there has been sporadic communication from them and from the kidnappers.

Ms. Mulvihill expressed relief at the end of the ordeal and gratitude to the many people — official and unofficial — who offered information, advice and support.

“The family is so grateful to everyone who has helped — the New York Times, the U.S. government, all the others. Now we just hope to have a chance to reunite with him in peace,” she said.

“We’ve been married nine months,” Ms. Mulvihill added. "And seven of those, David has been in captivity."

Both Mr. Keller and Mr. Rohde’s family declined to discuss details of the efforts to free the captives, except to say that no ransom money was paid and no Taliban or other prisoners were released.

“Kidnapping, tragically, is a flourishing industry in much of the world,” Mr. Keller said. “As other victims have told us, discussing your strategy just offers guidance for future kidnappers.”

Mr. Rohde, 41, had traveled to Kabul in early November to work on a book about the history of American involvement in Afghanistan when he was invited to interview a Taliban commander. Before setting out, Mr. Rohde instructed The Times’s bureau in Kabul on whom to notify if he did not return. He also indicated that he believed the interview was important and that he would be all right.

Mr. Rohde joined The Times staff in 1996 after winning a Pulitzer Prize in international reporting for documenting the massacre of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.

Swine Flu: Don't Fuck Pigs

Four inmates at Rikers Island have been confirmed to have the swine flu and four more are considered probable for the virus, Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed Tuesday morning.

"Correction and health officials are monitoring the situation and preparing to implement additional health screening and where needed, isolation of ill inmates," Bloomberg said. "It is in some senses easier to control because obviously the prisoners can't leave on the other hand, it is also a confined area where we really don't have the choice of moving people out and asking them to stay home."

Corrections Officers' Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook has suggestd since Friday that inmates and staff from the Ann M. Kross Center, as well as the North Infirmary Command, be transferred to other jails until the city completes a full investigation. Seabrook has called on the city to immediately close any facilities where swine flu has been discovered so they can be thoroughly cleaned.

"The entire facility needs to be decontaminated ... just like any other facility under the watch of the mayor," said Seabrook, after a Rikers Island inmate was first hospitalized on Wednesday.

The inmate, whose name and reason for being in custody weren't released, was improving since his hospitalization and wasn't in serious condition, Department of Correction spokesman Stephen Morello said.

The inmate entered the 2,600-inmate Anna M. Kross Center about a month ago and complained of cough and fever, Morello said. He was transferred to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens and on Friday was diagnosed with a probable case of swine flu, Morello said.

Meanwhile the number of New York City schools ordered closed amid rapidly growing fears of swine flu has grown to 26 after the Health Department announced 13 more schools will shut down around the city.

Symptoms of the swine flu include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting as well. Anyone experiencing severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, should seek health care and treatment. The best way to prevent additional cases of flu in schools is to stay home when sick, cover your mouth when coughing and sneezing, and wash hands frequently.

For those who are ill, the recommendation is to stay home until they are symptom-free for at least 24 hours.
Eating pork or pork products cannot spread the swine flu.


mmmm good for me. you know what they say about bacon? its jewish crack.

Last night I went with the boyyyzzz to go see the WORLD premiere of zoo yorks "State of Mind"...

I really enjoyed it and the soundtrack ruled.

I've been a fan of Zoo York since middle school when I saw "Mix Tape"..

In high school all I wanted to do was be a photographer for Big Brother or Thrasher.. maybe one day I will pursue that backburner dream.

Regardless Mixtape is still my fav skate movie to this day.
