Notes on my Max Beckley novels

(*Old Mill Road, Richmond Town – Photos by Joe) The most exciting thing about starting the novel process for me is that the impetus forms completely outside of my control. That is to say, I could never write a novel, but there’s something outside of my scope of understanding that can. In the beginning, silly, abstract thoughts form the basis for what I believe [...]

Milk Toast

(Wavertree sailing ship/South Street Seaport, NYC - Photos by Joe) At South Street Seaport to meet my friends, I was aware a tall white guy had tailed me since I came out of the Fulton Street subway station that was a four block walk. Just to be certain, I moved away from the sparse, early evening crowd [...]

Various Staten Island Photos

(La Tourette – Photos by Bald Punk) At work we’ve been doing a job on Staten Island. Strangely enough, the next time I saw the ghost of a slave named Hardy was in SI. I will tell you all about that in a few days. Here are the previous posts in that series: White Fire In My Head More coming [...]

Just A Car Ride To Staten Island

Dinner and a Video on the Staten Island Ferry

  (Video by Bald Punk – Music by Edwin Starr) From far and wide we had a meeting of the minds tonight. Me, my lady friend, and the pizza and Chinese delivery guys journeyed from the edges of the known universe to be together. I came from South Ferry where I was already working. My lady [...]

Bald Punk Rides Again

Sometimes I envision myself as the hero of my own life. Other times I daydream wacky stuff. And in whatever time is left, I sleep. Bald Punk ~~~ Staten Island BBQ Mayhem So we were at a really nice BBQ on Staten Island this past weekend. I had gone there with my lady friend(LF) and the pizza [...]

Staten Island BBQ Mayhem

(Staten Island Mall – Photo by Bald Punk) No. This is not the post. I just don’t want to throw it up. One problem is that it’s like nine pages. That’s way too long. The other is that I took tons of pics, but can’t find any to post. That’s Staten Island for ya. Plus [...]
