let's get ready to rumble.....

during my regular walk from 57th to 42nd street, i saw a crowd forming outside the fye store located on 42nd and 6th ave. being the curious person that i am, i decided to take a peak while walking (i don't want people to notice me that i'm being nosy). as soon as i pass the entrance, i noticed a very big guy and might i add, a very tanned one. i tried to figure who it was since he was facing side view. then, i noticed the hair. it was hulk hogan in person. what a surprise. i wish i had my camera with me to show you a proof that i actually saw him but i left it at home. my camera phone is available but i didn't even bother.

a red thingymajig.........


one of the very few weired things that can be found in the city of new york. the sculpture was created by world renowned artist Jeff Koons and was entitled, oddly enough, "Balloon Flower (Red)". this massive art can be seen @ 7 world trade center. yes, there is a 7 WTC...the first one to be built and fully funtioning after the attack. in any case, back to my story.

i tried to google this sculpture to see what they call it and the history. i was disappointed in what i found. the sculpture is not an original art commisioned for the 7 wtc. from what i know, this is the 4th in it's series (or maybe even more). to remember all those lives that was perished in that sacred ground, i would expect to see something more original. sad.....very very sad.
