"Cousin" Alex

Great dancer...


Great friend and cousin....


Great thinker....


Great laugher...



Dan "the man" Romeo

He know's how to get down


He'd kiss your own girlfriend with you watching in anger...



He can be silly...


And make you forget what he just did


Knows how to earn an honest buck....

More than words...





we like to party...

Aint that the truth...

Got a light?

a little creative graffiti in the castle...

God Bless Long Island...

So in europe in general, they always give you your drink with the alcohol and soda separate, I guesss to show you how much they're giving you. This is how they give you a long island Iced Tea, with a lemon slice wedged in the glass to separate.


Even in the cold reaches of the soviet empire, you can still order a long island iced tea (sniffle).

And you thought your job was tough...

While having lunch in Moscow with some colleagues, I noticed across the street that the building had been knocked down completely except for the front wall. According to my colleague, that's the law, it keeps everything looking nice. You knock the front wall down last. Fair enough.


Look a little closer and you'll notice that these guys have no support. No saftey net, no nothing. INSANE. According to my colleague, "yeah, they bring these guys in from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. They'll work insane hours for no money, and there's always more waiting when they drop dead." He apparently felt that they weren't concerned about falling, and neither was he.



Well the conversation really got awkward when i said, "no kidding? In the US, we give all the dangerous physical jobs to russians!"

At that point my KGB handler escorted us out.

I thought bud pawned his hanzo sword?

I guess that makes bud a liar.


me: "I don't know how they've kept it such good condition... "

Apparently it's Old in name only. Despite the cobblestone streets and old architecture (sp?), this part of town was actually built in the 80's.

According to my colleague from europe, "OLD? No way man! The Russian's leveled the entire city when they invaded. They built all of this in the 80's"

Welcome to "Old Town"

Looks pretty old doesn't it?

Tame the pony!!!

This is a two-fer... Back in college we used to drink White Horse whiskey... It was so stiff we used to pour shots and then put a spoon full of sugar in it marry poppins style.

What this label doesnt show is that on each bottle is a tiny plastic pony on a string around the neck of the bottle. As a result, we used to call that process of putting sugar in the whiskey taming the pony...



Well wouldn't you know it, buried in all these labels on the wall on the whiskey tour i went on in scotland, i found it.

"I love that you drop movies like the Saint and Real Genius!"

You want to know what Russia's like? See the movie the Saint.




It's all hookers and shady guys carrying steel briefcases.

Why are ju jelling at me?

My friend Luis from work is from mexico city, and we always joke about pronunciation, how y's should be j's...


So i took this picture of my co-worker/friend mike who was on the road with me in poland and russia with new york, "is it should be pronounced" - L

Hail to the chief...

This is the prime minister of Poland's house ("the polish white house" for my slow folk)




It was next door to my hotel, pretty nice

A NICKEL! (slap)...


Gorgeous open glass and brass elevators, and marble stairs. and for a nickle, you too can own your own in warsaw.

A few a day...

I'm back, and have 202 pictures to post, but much like the father cow, rather than run down and bang a few cows, I'm gonna walk down and bang em all.







This was my first drink at the Lot (polish air) airport lounge... a bottle of jack, a bottle of baileys, and a warning sign... "Just because you're Irish, doesn't mean you get to punch attendants in the baby maker... Unless they ask for it"

Cool picture from the castle in edinburgh

Lenin's tomb

Cars, right lane, Tanks, left lane...

These huge empty roads might look like the lie at 3am, but it's actually the center of town at around 8pm....


apparently the russian's built HUGE roads so that the tanks could get into the center of town quickly....

pretty much the only thing traveling on these roads now are bikes and guys saying, "i love america, miami wice, numba 1 new show!"

It wouldn't be a blog post...

Without a picture of me and my friends drinking...




And me making the crab hand for no reason
