i saw this t-shirt

i thought it's cool. i like funky t-shirts. then i tried to figure out what it actually means. i couldn't. no one can (i googled it). now i think it's just another dumb t-shirt.

i saw these skater boys


at the kings of concrete last weekend. they all were pretty impressive on the ramp. i loved the little one.


i wonder, why were there no skater girls?

I saw this sticker

on a wall near the bernard shaw. i like the mysteriousness of it. it made me ask who are you? do I know you? are you that woman from superquinn? are you happy?

i saw these sun loungers

at the urban beach on sunday. i wonder who the genius was who decided that this would be a good way to spend public money. i think the whole thing is depressing. everyone knows the weather is shocking, there's no need to rub it in. and if the weather actually was good, why would anyone choose to go to a sandpit in ifsc when there are plenty of beaches in dublin?

I saw all these cool things


at the toejam carboot sale at the bernard shaw last weekend. i thought it was the coolest ever carboot sale. i liked the graffiti on the walls too.

i saw lots of cool shoes. and a mickey mouse bag.

and lots of funky people. i like taking pictures of people with their heads missing at the moment. i think it makes the pictures more interesting. it's probably completely wrong and bad photography, but i like it. it leaves more room for imagination.

i saw this derelict cinema


in rathmines the other day. i wish i'd taken the photo from another angle to avoid the lamp post. but i quite like it as it is. i googled stella and found some interesting information. it was opened in 1923. the boomtown rats played there in the seventies. so did elvis costello. by the time the cinema closed in 2004, it had become very run down. the seats were hard and dirty. the toilets were unusable. there were cobwebs everywhere. the curtains were black with dirt. the floor was sticky. there is a rumour that someone once was bitten by a rat there. the place was so bad that it became cool. i wish they'd re-open.

i saw this sign



in rathmines. i like signs. i think this one has been up for some time; possibly since the eighties. i hope imelda's scissors aren't as rusty as the sign.
